Component Deals & Selection / Best AliExpress head & tail lights?
« on: May 07, 2023, 04:05:48 PM »
I don't ride at night, just need something for visibility. I guess I wouldn't mind radar in the tail light as well.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Round tube frameset with track geometry + dropouts?
« on: May 01, 2023, 03:45:45 PM »
Looking for something like an R01 with a raised BB & track dropouts/rear axle width. Tideace used to make something but it's gone. Any ideas?

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / What is the general vibe like with ordering from China these days?
« on: December 18, 2022, 07:30:03 PM »
I'm looking to get a Dengfu R06 rim brake frame next year, probably after the Chinese New Year. I know things have grown more and more tense there over the last few months but I was wondering if any repeat customers saw a degradation in customer service. I want to get a custom paint job so there will def be some back and forth. I had no problems with my FM208 order probably 3-4 years ago.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Anybody see a big drop in comfort going from a round tube frame to an aero one?
« on: December 04, 2022, 08:50:57 AM »
I have a Dengfu FM208 (round tubes + round seatpost) and I want to switch to an R05 (aero tubes + seatpost). I will have the same wheels/tires on both (28mm GP5Ks). I know back in the day aero bikes were way stiffer but is that the case today? My roads aren't terrible but there are definitely some choppy sections and occasional potholes. If they are still super stiff I'd love some suggestions on round seatpost frames with dropped seatstays.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Road frames with vertical seatposts
« on: October 14, 2022, 09:09:01 PM »But the geometry of tri bikes is no go for me. I want roadish reach & stack. Do such bikes exist in the open mold world?
I have more clarity on what I'm looking for now. Original rim brake takes on bikes like the Scott Foil & Cervelo S5. I know there are some straight up knock offs but that's not what I'm looking for. Any ideas?

29+ & 27+ / Looking to do a 29" trail build... absolutely no idea where to begin

OK to go full Chinese components as well and I'd like to keep the weight down. What's a reasonable weight expectation and what should I focus on? I think I need about 130mm of travel.

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Are Dengfu R06/Elves Falath the same frame?
« on: October 10, 2022, 03:34:37 PM »
Looking for an "aero" rim brake frame and I like these two options. Looking more at them they seem to be the same frame. I've had a great experience with my Dengfu FM208 so I have no qualms getting another Dengfu, hopefully with a cool paint job this time.
