why f-c don't send with dpd? Has anyone from Europe bought one? did he pay taxes?

am also trying to find a seller of the tier 3 quality that will ship to EU. Seems like only Taiwan eisen ships to EU via dpd. Did you end up finding something?

received the same ones a month ago so im wondering if this is the showpiece frame and quality normally is below this -- im still trying to figure out how the general quality of this store's stock is ... they sell quite a few replica frames but i have not found definitive / first hand reviews in terms of quality

That sounds very suspicious. There are clearly at least two different types of Factor frames in this thread. One EPS molded with very smooth inside and the other one which looks a bit more rugged inside (I think it was from taiwan factory bike parts Store). I am not saying one is worse/dangerous whatever, but I find the statement above hard to believe.

Is that the same store as taiwan eisen?

the prices do seem better at Taiwan Eisen but they told me there is only a single t1100 eps tier ... if i remember correctly there were already a couple of purchases from this store (v1 ostro and sl8) and quality was inferior to F-C?

I was looking for 30 external as well albeit disc variant and ended up with farsports hyper series. not sure if they do a rim brake version but maybe give them a shout

have decided on farsports in the end with a 58R/50F combo. contacted them via Whatsapp on the number thats linked on the oem site. as this is my first time buying, can anyone tell me how it works? do i pay first (seems like i can do bank transfer or paypal -- which is better?) any other tips? thanks!

thanks everyone for the suggestions. actually stumbled on this comment https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,5285.msg66449.html#msg66449 the other day and reached out to the various oems as I can wait a bit. xcs doesn't seem to have what I am after, waiting to hear back from farsports and yuanan and for light bicycle: based on the builder on the site I am getting roughly $860 without shipping for the ar55s with house hubs and 1420 spokes. does that seem correct for pricing?

Are the AR56s still the only 23mm option? Am looking for a similar setup but have seen in a discussion over at weightweenies regarding the V profile of the AR56 as being a bit dated. Would like to stick to 23mm as I am running 28s and not planning to change that. Any ideas here?
