DIYCarbon doesn't make anything. You place an order for one of these frames with them, they turn around and place the order with someone like that aliexpress seller (could be any of a number of sellers). While I haven't purchased from this specific seller, I haven't had an issue with any seller on aliexpress.

Ok, I'll probably just order from Alibaba then, I actually found the same frame on ebay. Doesn't seem like it's worth it to pay $100 extra for the same frame I guess

Does this brand/manufacturer look trustworthy enough? Their store has good customer ratings but there's no feedback on this specific frame. Not sure if I would go with this or pay more on the DIYCarbonbikes website..

Hello Everyone,

I'm new to this forum and new to chinese carbon bikes "chiners" in general. I've been mountain biking for many years, started with dirt jumping, then trails, then enduro and how I'm looking into trying XC (why not right?)

I was looking to buy a XC frame and building it myself since I have a bunch of spare parts from my other bikes, and I undoubtedly found a chinese XC frame on eBay. I've been researching Chinese carbon frames for more than 2 weeks now as I've never considered buying a no name bike frame.. And I came across this form this forum and also found DIYcarbon (https://www.diycarbonbikes.com/) They have this model that looks extract like the Santa Cruz Highball for only $425 (https://www.diycarbonbikes.com/collections/hardtailframes/products/29er-dcb-xce29-santa-cruz-highball-style-carbon-mtb-frame)

There seem to be too many choices when you start looking at no name bike frames from asia and DIYcarbon seems like a good choice... Does anybody have opinions? It kinda seems like they are a middleman and is reselling the frames and wheels? Should I go with them or should I try my luck with eBay and Alibaba, I found a similar Santa Cruz Highball frame for $100 less.
