DIY Carbon -DCB F140 Frame

[Vortac]

Hey all.  Thought I’d post this here since there wasn’t much info on this frame around here.  Just got the frame today.  Took a bit to get the ball started in terms but once it got to paint it took weeks to complete the custom design.  Once paint was done Ty shipped it super fast.  Left HK on the 8th and arrived at my place today, Nov 11th.

I’ve ordered and built numerous bikes, MTB, road and TT bike.  This one by far showed the most competent paint job, finishings and packaging.  They nailed my design and color request, so far so good.

Planning on finishing her up with XT brakes, Fox Float II Factory rear shock, front RS Lyric in red, SRAM Eagle X01 with AXS transmission, and 29iN Carbon wheels from ICAN.

Can’t wait to see how it turns out.  More pics to follow.

DIY carbon is based in the US right?
So their factory is in hong kong?

It is the FM1001, and Vortac acknowledged that in another standalone thread they made about the DIYCarbon version. Still coming from China with a middle man when no one seems to have an issue dealing with Carbonda directly. Curious what DIYCarbon will actually offer that is different. Seems like their US presence doesn't actually mean anything if the frames are painted and shipped from China.
