Not in the BB area but my VB frame had fiber cloth sticking out in the headtube area and also in the downtube. Its been fine though, have about 1.5k miles on it. The real question though is, they are still making 505? I asked Wing from Carbonda late last year and he said its not available.

I asked Katie Tan from Carbonda about it because the page is still available but hidden and she told me that Size L of the cfr505 was still in stock. Perhaps i was just lucky  ;D

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Issue with carbon layup - Carbonda CFR505

I just received my second Carbonda frame, it's a CFR505 size L and it looks awesome from the outide.
The only issue i have is that there seem to be some carbon "fibers" hanging loose on the inside of the bottom bracket/headset area.

Now my question is: has anyone seen this before on brand new chinese carbon frames ? Should i be worried about further delamination ? shouldn't Carbonda's QC have noticed this during inspection ?


I've already contacted the people at Carbonda about this but haven't heard back yet, this is my second frame, i already own a cfr696 which didn't have these "defects" on the inside. Hence my concern (although 696 uses BSA bb so it's probably easier to hide these things)
