frames almost a 1-1. their XXL (i think its a 54?) is half a millimeter off of the 575 size (or 57.5) for the f12's reach and stack.
At the end of the day, the frames probably okay (from a reputable seller) but its not going to weigh the 750 grams the f12 weighed, its going to weigh like 1200g due to the tubes being so aerodynamic.

Looking for a road bike with the above, i don't want a gravel bike, i want an aero race bike, so if theres some chinese one out there that fits that bill let me know.
Yoeleo R21 and Dengfu R12 are off the table.

One ive had for like 1.5 years and another one about a year.
No issues with fork of seatpost issues
THOUGH the fm091 V1 had a slippery seatpost, the v2 remedies this by using a sandpaper material to prevent slipping, carbon paste and that and youre golden. Never heard of fork issues. Only issue ive had is my r12 has a misaligned fd hangar.

« on: March 05, 2022, 07:57:16 AM »This is such an oversight by Velobuild tbh. The 168 and 177 are clearly homages to Specalized designs so why not make the forks, seatposts and hangers the same as their name brand counterparts? it'll save a lot of hassle in the future when they're no longer produced and you need to find spare parts.
How is the 177 a homage to a specialized?
The 168, sure. But a der hanger isnt normally something one would break imo lol

« on: March 04, 2022, 11:46:39 AM »Dengfu got back to me at $500/set for their FM128, quite a good offer however im not sure about the quality, heard DengFu and Hongfu tend to have Fork fit/Seatpost fit issues.
Thats news to me and i own two dengfus.

Ican is probably more since its a marketed brand

« on: February 26, 2022, 08:18:17 AM »Would you say you prefer DT Swiss hubs over others?
Looking back i dont know, i love the serviceability but im a tiny bit of a weight weenie and theyre heavier and more expensive. 350 is heavier than bitex and significantly more.

Looks like their size 500 is equivalent to a size 54/55 frame:
Reach is 397
Stack is 544
TT: 553
HT: 145
Shame there isn't a more standardized way of measuring frames. It seems to vary from brand to brand.
Also...Winspace Hyper wheels can be had for $1200. Several 10% off codes exists which basically covers fast priority shipping. So $1100 USD shipped for DT Swiss 240 laced wheels in a very modern width isn't terrible. Having an easily serviceable hubs is good thing too. The main hurdle is brand awareness.
i do love how serviceable dt swiss hubs are. pull the freehub (and cassette) off at the same time, remove/add grease, put back on. basic maintenance done and can be done every 2500 miles. even fully replacing the bearings isnt that challenging.

sadly this frame is way too small for me. I need 400+ reach and 610+ stack at minimum.

has anyone bought a frame that included decals? how did the paint job/decal quality end up being and how much it ended up costing? My dengfu was painted but the paint isnt of good quality as its pretty easy to chip away at the paint, as i have a handful of chips in the paint.

Justin from speeder sent me a quote for the 45 with in house hubs, carbon spokes. $760, 140 shipping $43 pp fee.
Decent price considering the weight but im hesitant given its a new company on the market and while its a good price considering, it is a bit expensive in the realm of chinese wheels.
It looks like their aero frame is a pinarello copycat.
