Re: Best and worst overall quality/value components/tools/gear from AliExpress? I purchased 2 of these pumps in 2023 for $21 each.   I have used them only a few times since purchasing.

Last night I fully charged one and packed it in my bike tool bag.   On Today's ride, I realized I had a low rear tire.  I pumped a 29er rear 2.0 tire from 14 pounds to 28 pounds and it killed the battery.   I never remember being only able to fill one tire up.   I wonder how cheap of rechargeable battery they installed.   Battery life appears to quickly be degrading just sitting around in a tool box.

The frame alone made me intrigued, but then I saw the picture of the bike with wheels in blue on the site. For some reason that bottom bracket area just looks so out out of proportion.

There is something funny about that 'built' image - clearly it's rendered, and also I wonder if the lack of groupset makes it look out of whack.  I hope so, keen to get her built now  ;D

Quick Blade Frame Build Hey guys, just wanted to drop a quick review after building up the Quick Blade frame. Bought it myself, no sponsorship or anything.

Looks:
Man, this thing looks awesome. The black and silver paint job is seriously gorgeous — super clean and classy. Paint quality is honestly way better than I expected at this price.

Build:
Accessories are kinda meh, nothing special. Fit and finish also just okay. Build went pretty smooth overall, but the brake mounts weren’t perfectly flat — needed a bit of tweaking. Would say build quality is around 6/10.

Ride:
Now this is where it surprised me. The ride feels really good — smooth, stiff, and handles sharp. Feels solid and fast, but still comfy enough for long rides. I’ve ridden an S-Works SL7 before, and honestly the Quick Blade holds up way better than I thought it would. Not the same level of refinement, but the ride feel and speed are right up there.

Overall:
Gorgeous frame, average build quality, but rides really nice. For the money, it’s a legit performer. I’d totally recommend it if you’re okay doing a bit of extra work during the build.

What size did you end up getting Patty? L or XL? I've got a fit very similar to yours so I might try copying it for my own build.

I went with a size L/520 along with a 36/140 CRW aero cockpit. Super excited.
