Chinese Carbon MTB => 26er & 27.5 (650b) => Topic started by: karstenhorn on February 27, 2016, 10:01:44 AM

I bought this frame last spring and its obviously made in China. Its a size small(around 15.5") for 26" wheels and my wife is riding on it with great joy. I bought it via eBay and it was crazy cheap around 250$ brand new and sold via Holland so no tax either. Do anyone know this frame and have any more info about it ?

Any info would be very much appreciated

Looks like a nice frame.

That's what I was thinking. Doesn't much help you identify it but I really like it. The paint scheme is sweet, and the small wheels and BMX style stem remind me of my old freestyle bike I had when I was in my teens. Looks like it'd be fun to whip around. What stem is that if you don't mind me asking?

Well, I have tried to compare the frame with other 26" frames around but I cannot find anything that looks like this. The handlebar with integrated stem is also from the same company as the frame "LWA" - If you try to google them nothing pops up though.

Well, first things first - you bought it via eBay - have any information from the sale still, like the original auction? Often there will be a number in the frame that is consistent across resellers, such as "057".
I thought the name was "LWA" but a little googling lead me to "LVWA", and I managed to find this - looks like the same frame:

We can see the number in the description: FM-0021L
I don't see anything else that matches, though. Looks like LVWA is still pretty active out there, that might help you.

Agree, same frame apparently - here is an eBay seller that have some cheap Carbon frames and among them one LWA as well.

As a matter I just won this auction http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BEIOU-3K-carbon-fiber-unibody-road-bike-frame-racing-bike-frame-B012A4-500mm-/131737920806? It cannot be all wrong for about 200$ including shipping and already in Europe so no tax at all. That will eventually be a road bike for wife :D
BTW paint sucks but I know a cheap painter.
