Hi,
I'm Draz, from Turkey. I currently ride a "aggressive" hardtail and own small shop for our community. I come across this forum after realizing an EU/US brand frames are 4-5 times more expensive than what they actually cost. Amazing community so far... Currently awaiting order from LightCarbon FS947. I will share my experience from receiving the frame, building to compare it with my hardtail as quality wise. Also planning to paint the frame and i need help... Probably going to consult an auto body shop as well..

Hey guys! mdc302 here from SE Tennessee (U.S.) and glad to a part of this very well managed forum. I have been riding mostly MTB and some road for over 25 years of my adulthood. Have spent much $ on Trek bikes over the years (ex. Fuel 98 carbon, Madone SL carbon, etc) from our local friend/bike shop. Upon much research the past few years I recently purchased and built an FM1001 frame via Carbonda. Thanks to this forum I’m one of a growing community that can help myself & others save serious $ and get out on the trail, gravel, and/or road! Look forward to much more on here

Hello, I'm Benoit.

Sorry for my poor language, I'm french.
I live in Vosges mountains in the north east of France.
I have already built several road bikes and mountain bikes using open mold frames.
In addition to several brand bikes, now, I ride an old Hongfu FM036 and a Dengfu M06.
I'm looking for informations about Carbonda FM936 frameset for my next build.

Hello fellow Aliexpressers.  Yesterday, I received an email from Titus regarding a full suspension TI frame that uses a flex stay.  I was researching the design and ran across a thread posted on this forum.   I am amazed that in all these years of purchasing frames and components from Aliexpress, I never ran across, or even knew that this forum existed.  Great find.  Now I am hooked and will be reading up on perspectives about Chinese frames and components.  I might even be able to contribute now and again because I have made hundreds of purchases of bicycle parts via Aliexpress.

Heya - Scott from the PNW here.  I wanted to get back into mountain biking after many years off and picked up a 2017 BMC hardtail.  After a few years, I'm finding that I want a FS that is more stable on the downhills, and found this forum in my search. 

I also recently took over https://mountainbikereviewed.com and am looking for a project to document on the site.

Hi. Just joined last night (Fri 13th) and I'm looking to build a gravel frame over the next few months.

I've been looking at the options, but i think I need some guidance in regards to how all of this works in terms of importing to canada and what not.

Built a Trials bike 15 years ago and want to build up a bike again.

Hi everyone! I just landed on this forum, which I found recommended on an Italian forum MTB mag Forum.
I'm Italian, I'm 23 and I've been riding mtb for 8 years and I love this sport.
I'm trying to build my first mtb from scratch with a chinese frame.
Sorry for my English!

Thank you all for the welcome!

Hi all, i'm 36, MTB-ing since I can remember.
Mostly had trail bikes, from a full-sus to a current AL hardtail with 130mm. I'm building the bikes myself now for almost 10 years.
I don't know if it's the years coming to me or what, but I find myself running more XC stuff than actual agreesive trail riding.
So I am converting my bike from trail bike to a down-country XC bike (sorry to those who are allergic to bike industry making up new names to sell us more stuff). :D
The target is to make it lighter in the first step - changing the 130mm Pike to a Sid Ultimate 120mm, replacing the AL wheelset with a Elitewheels carbon ones and XC tires.
I'm also looking into a carbon frame, this year or maybe next.
