Chinese Carbon Vendor List

[bxcc]

Not sure why you'd order from Icanbikes when Peter at XMcarbonspeed.com can get you the same thing or better for a lower cost.

I would if he was actually cheaper but he isn't. My LBS will build any rims i bring in with DT comp spokes and Hope hubs for $450ish. So if I'm in the $650 to $700 ballpark for Novatec hubs, I'm probably going to go for the local / Hope build.

That being said, I'm over analyzing this wheel purchase. Looking for something in the $300 to $400 range.

Anybody hear anything or have experience with "Fasteam" or "Dashine Bikes" on eBay?  I'm looking into the below frame for my son -

I recently purchased a new rim from Peter at XM Carbonspeed to replace the one I melted.  The exchange was perfect, as always.  Peter was responsive and friendly.  He packaged the rim very well and it arrived in perfect shape.  There is a reason I like to do business with him.

He's now working very hard to convince me to buy a CS-092 road bike frame.    As soon as I can figure out the size I want, and I can save the money, I will order!

I just orderded a CS-092 frame from Peter earlier this week.  Guess I have to get a build thread started. 

As always, dealing with Peter was a pleasure.

I have purchased an IP-057 frame with Bert (xmiplay), then I sent the money already do 12 days and they did not respond more emails, also sent to Peter and he also does not answer, I'm thinking I lost my money.

Don't worry! They've got Chinese National Day holiday and they are back on the 8th of October.
Bert and Peter are very reliable vendors. So, please be patient.
My experience is that Peter is replying faster than Bert, but they always reply.

And please don't put you exact the same posts twice on this forum. One is enough.

Excuse me, you're right, a week's holiday, I did not know, Bert just sent my frame, thanks.

Hello, first time poster. I'm looking to buy a set of 29er wheels from a supplier that is both reliable and offers competitive prices - besides good wheels of course.... Looking at Carbon Speed and Yoeleo they charge high shipping fees and potentially even PayPal charges. When comparing to Aliexpress sellers many of these have free shipping on prices that are lower than the two mentioned companies. Is there a quality difference that I'm not aware of or what justifies $150 dollars more on a similar wheelset?

[Carbon_Dude]

If you want to save yourself some grief, just order from XMcarbonspeed.com and pay a little extra.  If you order from AliExpress, you won't know what level of quality the wheels will be and I can guarantee you the service will not be as good.  You are already saving 60% when buying the carbon wheels direct, to me it's not work saving another 5% by choosing the cheapest Chinese vendor.

Update: carbonality.com now change to a new website: www.carbonalbike.com

The new website is a bit slow but has a clean look.

Hi, what about this one. Has anyone bought a carbon frame or fork @ http://www.orge-tech.com/

Thanks.

Looks like all the same frames Peter at xmcarbonspeed.com sells.  Nothing new to see there.  For the most part, it looks like either Workswell or xmcarbonspeed.com has the majority of frames people are buying, no need to be taking chances on new trading companies that have no reputation.

Has anyone purchased a complete bike from a vendor on the list? Im looking at miraclebikes for their TT and 29er FS. Thanks in advance.

[Carbon_Dude]

Nobody on this forum has posted they purchased a complete bike that I have seen.  I think part of the reason people purchase a Chiner frame is to build the bike themselves.
