Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Carbonda Gravel Carbon frame CFR707
« on: March 21, 2024, 11:42:14 AM »
In case anyone is wondering about current prices...

CFR707 w/ Bar - $650
headset - $15
axles - $26
spacers $5
hangar - $8
shipping to US $190
paint $95

+ transaction fees on payment are approx 5%

All-in will be over $1k. Not bad but definitely more than I was expecting for an off-brand china frameset.

If you look at the Giant Revolt as a comparison to the 707 in a medium, the Reach is almost the same (3mm longer on the 707) but the Stack is lower on the 707 by about 11mm. I am 175 with roughly the same inseam and I think the 707 is a perfect fit in a Medium for me with a 90mm stem. I would even go for an 80mm, but not for the length, just to try the ride dynamics. I think if you ride a 56 Tarmac with a 90mm stem, then a 707 with a 90mm would be fine.

As far as cost is concerned. I think I paid about $1700 for both a 707 and 1056 painted and shipped to the UK during 2021 (so around C19 times when things were pricey). For me that was worth it for two decent bikes but you might disagree. I really like them both. The paint work is a bit 'meh' on the 1056 but I'm going to have that repainted anyway.

Thank you! Did you negotiate with them to get those prices or were they just the prices you were quoted? I assume ordering direct via email is the best option vs some secret AliX store?

Two questions:

1) The usual fit question. I ride a 56cm Tarmac w/ 90mm stem. I'm 182cm w/ 81cm inseam. Go ahead, laugh at my stretched-out torso and short little legs doing all the work! :) I think a 707 in Medium (56) is a good fit. Any thoughts based on experience with the 707?

2) Price: What have you all wound up paying for your 707s? With paint and shipping it suddenly doesn't seem so cheap.

It is a good thing the deals are good because their user experience is terrible.

I switched to an OSPW and while the efficiency benefits are unverified and debatable, the reduction in drivetrain noise is very real. I have no plan to go back. IMO this benefit alone is worth the change. Silence is golden.

I dont ever want to do any shopping from a mobile app. Waste of time.

Interesting. That works. Thank you.

I hope this helps someone else in the future that goes looking for an answer!

Nope. I've exhausted all the network and system possibilities that I control.

Looks like lots of others experience the same problem on Reddit but I haven't found a solution so far.

Oh well.

If this is posted in the wrong section, I'm sorry!


Every time I select one of the promoted items on AliX I get a maintenance page. This persists across multiple browsers and multiple computers. I'm located in the US. I've tried clearing cache and cookies and all the usual things. This has been an issue for multiple months. I can't figure it out.

Is there some trick to make this work? Some special secret URL I'm supposed to use?

I'm about ready to give up but thought I would ask the experts first!

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Help finding a gravel frame
« on: March 03, 2024, 11:07:17 AM »
I'm looking for a gravel frame. I'm hoping someone can help me identify some candidates. I've scoured the existing threads but don't see anything that seems like a match.

Geo similar to a stigmata. More fast, less adventure, but still quite capable.
Internal routing
BSA BB
Aero shaped tubes would be nice but not required
Internal storage is a plus but not required
I don't care about seatpost shape. Aero is fine. Round is fine.

Any ideas?
