My 1136 got delivered  a week ago and I just had it built up!

Size medium, I had the frame painted through Carbonda. The paint job came out incredible. The "black" is UD Glossy Carbon, the exposed carbon layup looks awesome and really shimmers in the sun. The white is "pearl white" and has a nice glitter effect to it.

Here is a link to my unboxing https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFBww_SPnmf/?igsh=MWRmeHAybXRqb3hr


I've linked some pictures below, heres the best pic i have so far https://imgur.com/ebcWA6d.


Weight came in at 7.7 kg w/o pedals.

Really happy with it so far. I used the carbonda supplied bar/stem and Carbonda headset. My only issue atm seems to be the gap between the steerer and the bottom of the headtube? Did others experience this large of a gap, did my mechanic do something wrong? SEE "Steerer Gap" attachment for photo

Thanks for the report.
What is the bottom bracket with?
Thanks in advance.

They're almost certainly using the same factory for the fork at the very least.  Frame may indeed be different factories. I think this is the same 'Taiwanese' (probably nothing to do with Taiwan at this point) clone seller with loads of shopfronts on AliExpress. The quality of their frames is usually significantly higher than TanTan.

Thanks…
Then safer to buy "Taiwanese" product?

The same question for the owners of this frame, it is worth yo buy it for the long term?
Gracias...

Hi from Spain

I’m interested in this frame
https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005005774224115.html?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_home.promoteWysiwyg_6001679542282.1005005774224115&gatewayAdapt=glo2esp

The person in touch from the store in Aliexpress says this

"Our factory is Shenzhen Zhongwei Composite Material Co., Ltd."

And also this

"We are a factory direct store, and velobuild is also one of our customers."
"Velobuild is not a factory, but a trader."

And this

"We use EPS blow molding process."

Anybody has traded with this store?

Anybody knows this factory? (Shenzhen Zhongwei Composite Material Co., Ltd.)

Your knowledge and experience will help me to understand if they are pulling my leg…

Apart from that the design of the frame is very advanced, check the design of seat post clamp. BMC has a similar one.

Many thanks in advance.
