Love it! I recently built a Carbonda FM1001 for my wife. Your daughter is lucky!

...Elita1 Specialized Power clone...

Do you have the link around ?

I would say months

Yep. I tried few months ago too, and they were already off.
Too bad, as they were a reliable provider.

Just arrived in the mail. I haven't ridden on it yet but looks nice, very stiff.  Only complaint about it, is the top cap area, there's room for improvement on the fit of that.  Got this for $120 USD.

A pity for their top cap...  I'm about to try the gravel version for a new build:

I've a rockshox Judy TK on my bike. Use it in the Caribbean and in the Netherlands quite often. Hadn't serviced it for 5 years. Decided to do a full service myself. All the seals were still in good condition. Couldn't see the difference with the new ones. I think the lowers were just low in oil; the oil spills ever so slowly through the wiper seals during usage. The uppers were impeccable.
In my case refreshing the oil of the lowers and a change of the wiper seals (half an our job, no special tools, less then 20 euros) would have been enough.

Thank you for your feedback.
I have a couple of SID forks that have about this age if not more, never serviced them.
They were ridden in all kind of conditions, sometimes harshly.
I will try your light maintenance.

Is it easy to install the GP 5000 tubetype on them ? Which one looks better between 23 and 25 mm ?

Just a note about the GP5000 tubeless, the second generation is much easier to put on than the first(was a nightmare in general).
I was even able recently to put them and inflate them using a floor pump, without a compressor.
So maybe you can scout forums to know if the new tube type generation is easier too.

Thanks a lot for your feedback; at the end I think i will go with Spcycle g058, for geometry (I tetsed a cannondale Topstone of a friend in size m and was quite ok, but if the future gravel should be little shorter I think is better for me) and design. I am considering solid or metallic paint; do their paint job worth the extra money?
Thanks

Just a note about Carbonda. $200 over the life of your bike is nothing, just maybe waiting a few months to save that extra amount if cash is tight.
I'm a fan of Carbonda because of the service that comes with it in case of trouble.
I ordered dozens of frames from them and never one failed, which is already something, but got some shipping loss... and they took care of everything.
And their new 505 model tick many good boxes for me.

Here are a few more links to videos.

Just for the eyes as nothing is in English.
My Karoo is getting warm again when charging, and will probably die again soon.
I did start to look around for a change, and this is falling just in time...
