Title: help for frame choice.
Post by: Stef27 on June 23, 2018, 11:19:33 AM

hello

i want a comfortable frame with discs,so there are several possibilities.

gravel or endurance.

i wanted a Cube Attain(i found just the frame with good price) but it's a special fork with 1 1/8-1 1/4,so I was looking for the Chinese frame.

my wishes :
- price around 500$ maxi
- carbon frame
- disc (if possible 160mm)
- tapered fork
- comfortable geometry
- if possible a seat tube "classic" (more easy to find)



i found frames,but i can't decide.

here the links.......

all chineses frames can have custom painting for good price(around 50-80$).... for the merida it will be more expensive to paint(around 150-400€) and i don't want(know) to do it myself.


thanks for your help

For that price the Merida looks very attractive.
No customs worries, could have a safer warranty, and has a tire clearance for 28mm tires.
But in black/green only ???

Yes the color is not my favorite.
I would like a blue(turquoise) one.

Thanks for your message.

It would be interesting to know how the frame looks.
How well finished it is. Does it has wrinkles inside. Etc.

If you want
I can post here when i will have the Merida's frame.

After,i will buy the parts on Ali,as soon as i will have little money.
I think it will take me months to have all parts.
