Trek Madone frame
Hey there, i'm sorry in advance for all my grammatical mistakes, not a native speaker. So, i'm really obsessed with trek madone, but because i'm living in country where the official minimum salary is 80$, i was started to looking at rip off framesets, but i couldn't find any review or information whatsoever. I haven't bought it yet, i'm on the path of making investigation about it's quality and reliability. 1) Let's begin with seller investigation, i've found three main sellers on Aliexpress that sells this frame: Taiwan Eisen https://www.aliexpress.ru/store/5257218 Rocking Cyling store https://www.aliexpress.ru/store/2189015 (one of the forum members bought Emonda frame from them: https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,4029.msg42719.html#msg42719 And Taobao store: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=694413006667 So, i think there are several manufacturers, at least two, and there a few reason for that, the first one is the frame weight difference is tremendous, 16750 (eisen) and 2045 (taobao), which is huge difference, the second one is that Taobao store have 2023 replica of Madone already, but eisen is planning to release their in April. 2) Frame photos, i collected all the photos from Aliexpress sellers: Eisen: https://ibb.co/album/LYjQkz Rocking: https://ibb.co/album/xXdb8d So, what i learned is that these pictures are low quality, so it's really hard to judge the quality of the frame, i asked sellers to send me high resolution photos, haven't received them yet. But, here are close shots that i already have (all photos from rocking store, waiting photos from eisen, taobao seller didn't want to send high res photos): BB:https://ibb.co/xMkN9BB https://ibb.co/g7BMn5r https://ibb.co/NjWBXQf Handlebar: https://ibb.co/9nJFprd https://ibb.co/R3BvkcZ So, in conclusion, quality is very similar to what Hambini reviewed, Chinarello replica, it has similar problems with BB and some slight imperfection on the stem, but not bad overall. 3) IsoSpeed, many have concerns regarding it, but i made some research, and it's actually a fairly simple mechanism, my most worried part was damper, i thought it was kind of precise and hard to manufacture thing, but in reality it's just a button with (what seems) elastomer: https://ibb.co/MDhYcV5, which is also mentioned on Trek page: https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/inside_trek/isospeed/, so i don't think it's that hard to replicate. 4) Carbon fiber, they claim that they use T1000 CF, i asked them is this a Toray, but haven't received the reply yet. 5) If something breaks by your fault, you can buy replacement parts from seller at least Eisen confirmed that you can. If there will be more information, i will try to share it with you. March 03, 2023, 10:08:51 AM |

Re: Carbonda CFR 1056 or VeloBuild 177?
Yeah... i know about geometry, but i'm so tired to see problems with Chinese frames, so for me it's much more important to get product that have better quality.. regarding VB 168, well i was thinking about it, but Patrick Lino said several times in his review that 177 is stiffer and overall better value.

Re: Carbonda CFR 1056 or VeloBuild 177?
I'm on a VeloBuild VB-R-168 right now for road and have a 177 on order as I also want to compare the stiffness. Wow, waiting for your review. Also i was thinking about ican a9, and i have opportunity to buy it much cheaper (just for 750), but they are using T700 and T800, (i know that it more depends on the carbon layout, than on it's type, but in case of Chinese, i don't think this is always the case, i think it's also wise to relay on CF they are using) April 04, 2023, 01:14:17 AM |

Re: Miraclecycling vs Yoeleo prices
Recently asked Mira Cycling is the frames they are making is the same as Yoeleo, well, answer is yes, i think, but for older models, for the new models Yoeleo have partnership with different factory.

Re: Advice on fake frames
OK I pull this thread up again since there were several questions regarding copies of well known frames in the past weeks. Thank you for your review! What's quality from the inside compared to the open mold brands? Like thickness, cleaness, voids and other factors May 10, 2023, 11:44:13 PM |

Re: dcrf26 frame - Scott Foil?
For everyone who's wondering, there are differences between Scott Foil and TanTan x38 geometry: 1) Top tube is more parallel to the ground, which leads to higher seatube, bigger rear triangle and probably more stiffer and harsher frame 2) Fork is a little bit thinner (like for 15%) 3) BB area a little smaller in height Also yes, the frame support 160mm disc with adapter.
