Eugene Posted February 27, 2007 Share does CHainreaction offer free shipping on a bike frame???!! shipping cost for this size item would normally be around GBP125. Check the site carefully! Thats a huge discount if they do offer free shipping or frames or bikes Free shipping on everything except complete bikes. I have played arround with a few things and the frames were also free.

bikemonster Posted February 27, 2007 Share Minty, it's not the cars that are unimaginative, it's just that a Beemer is the default status symbol car, that is all. Hence "not imaginative choices". Emphasis on the choices, not the cars. I'm not sure what "Did you know that BMW is the only manufacturer that actually has the know-how to manufacture the doors on the current 5 series?" acshly means. I'm sure the world would be pretty surprised to learn that Volkswagen or Ford were building 5-series doors. Plus, they'd look crap on the side of a Golf! And yes, I was being deliberately provocative, although I am quite ready and able to deal with any flaming from my imaginary friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christie Posted February 27, 2007 Share Weren't the BMW mountain bikes built by someone else and just badged as BMW's? I would much rather ride a Colnago, or De Rosa than a BMW bicycle . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobie Posted February 27, 2007 Share I'm also looking at upgrading to a C frame and is interested at a Karbona Muscle-lite. Check out their site at Karbona.com. The price for the frame is below 4G, but thats without getting it here - still wait to find out how much. All other accessories are available at great prices. My problem is : What about the guarantee if you import directly? Has anyone done this in their private capacity and how does it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock Posted February 27, 2007 Share I don't think one should try to "cheap" on a carbon frame, rather get a quality alloy frame with good geometry etc.....and if you have some extra cash, spend that on the wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowjoe Posted February 27, 2007 Share Kobie dont waste your time, i was talking to Karbona for weeks, was actually planning on importing to resell.They are full of nonsense, and shipping cost for complete bike U$610 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitusTi Posted February 27, 2007 Share It probably costs Kinesis like 10c a frame if they stamp enough of them out, so why can't they be cheap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudsimus Posted February 27, 2007 Share I spoke to a guy last week. He imports frames from taiwan, apparantly he can get carbon frames at $80 a shot if he takes a 100 or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusTi Posted February 27, 2007 Share Exactly, I see no reason why it should cost much more than tupperware? Except of course for the density of the material? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rock Posted February 27, 2007 Share my next frame is going to be Ti or steel......and it must be so light that the manufacturer puts a 65kg weight limit on it, oh and a 14" seat tube and a 23" top tube and a 3.5" headtube........or there abouts oh and somehwere on it must be a brazed on bottle opener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
