...What are your experiences on ordering frames? I’ve reached out to Carbonda and have also been looking at diycarbon and allstar bicycle. Anyone had any success on aliexpress? Or is direct through the factory better?
Go direct, aliexpress is a useless middleman if you go to a seller that has a good reputation here.
I don't know diycarbon nor allstar, but Carbonda is my current go-to-shop.
Great communication with Wing, great service and they build frames using the superior EPS moulding.
...Planning on building a full suspension, similar to a Stumpjumper. Probably around 130-150mm of travel but open to any frame suggestions. I’m 5’3 so would need something small...
Carbonda said they will have 130 and 150mm frames for November/December
What’s the average build cost that you plan for?
It all depends on the components and wheels you choose.
About 2,500€ for a basic setup and 6,000€ for a top end one.
