Hong Fu has been around for ages and has always had a positive reputation. I don't seem to hear from them as much anymore but that could be a me thing. LC has also been around for a while as well. LC seems more current with their offerings than Hong Fu.

I bought some rims from them. I would probably buy from someone else next time. Its more of a service thing rather than a product issue. They never responded to any questions, comments or concerns. It took about a month and half to arrive. So not all that quickly.

The offeset thing is over blown. Use whatever you have. I guarantee you won't even notice the difference.

I ordered some DIY Rims earlier in the year and frankly, l won't buy from them again. The shipping was slow and the communication was terrible. I ordered from them thinking that they had some management in the United States, that would make communication more effective and maybe even quicker shipping. But no. It wasnt a bad experience. But wasn't great either. I got my rims and they look just fine.
Your frame looks awesome!

Yt supports the mainstream. Anything thats not the mainstream or from "official sources" will not be looked at positively.

Trinx has always used open mold frames. Just like my Lexon Riot, they used that mold for a season or two. But this is exciting, because it shows me that its a more than worthy frame to take the abuse.

Not much on this bike. I can't find it anywhere but here. Does it go by a different name or manufacturer?  I really dig it.

Cool looking bike. Are there any WC teams using this mold do you know?

What are you guys using for headsets? I am using a semi integrated Cane Creek Slam Set. Are you all using a pressed in headset like l am or a drop in, integrated headset?  My frame is making some serious groaning noise that sounds like its coming from the front of the bike.  Try to get to the bottom of what is going on

So who has one of these? Is there a better, more active page for this model? I'm really curious to see how these are in the real world.

About 2 years ago l posted about wanting a Supercaliber frame but most commentators thought that was never going to happen. They were right... Sort of.
Looks like there will be Epic WC available. Pretty cool! I want one!
