Who on CC has bought a 'cheap' Chinese carbon frame?

It's clear you've always yearned for the evils of carbon, but after a CAAD8 and a CAAD9 I thought you would have gone for a CAAD10 Gaz?

i spoke to one guy on my last audax about his chinese carbon bike. he's using it heavily for the second season and is chuffed about it. do i need one?

That's the second 'shall I buy a new bike' post of yours I've read recently. Sounds like there is an itch that is going to need scratched soon - probably with a credit card!

Sorry for my newbie ignorance, but do you have a link to the supplier? That is the strangest carbon weave I have ever seen??

I got this (and my FM028)

from

http://www.e-hongfu-bikes.com/

The weave is the same on both my bikes

12k weave. 3k is the other 'more tight' weave you see

Was looking at the FM015 last night Gaz, is it just the frame and forks, or is the headset included aswell?

Build mine and you have a deal

You're probably more knowledgeable than me, never built one up from scratch

Out of interest, is there a weight limit on these carbon frames, me being 6ft 3", large build, slightly heavy

deals off then

They told me 300KG

I asked if that should read 300pounds

They said no, 300KG

Im not sure thats true tho TBH, seems far fetched
