Re: Yishun R014/ Light Carbon LCR015 Vs. Velobuild VB-R-079 Decided to go with the Lightcarbon. Price was more or less same at all manufacturer but communication and available stock made me to choose Lightcarbon.
The frame just arrived this week, its time to build :)

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Hi Everyone,

I've been reading the posts on the Carbonda frame for a long time now... I have now finally had the first few rides on my bike. It took just about 6 months to get the frame from ordering it back in September.

The build is full Shimano XT, Rock Shox SID ultimate 100mm, Rock Shox SID Luxe 165X40, Rims and handlebar are Carbon from Carbonda, PRO Koryak 150mm dropper post, Ergon Saddle, Alu stem. The build came out to 11.4Kg.

Please check out my Shimano SPD M737 pedals from the early 1990s. It was such a great day when I received these pedals all those years ago not having to run clips any more. I have been running them on and off on bikes since than and they are really holding up well. When I couldn't source the pedals I wanted for this bike I decided to mount them and they make my day!

Compared to my prior hardtail bike it is a really long, big bike but it rides extremely well. It feels light and nimble, it turns in really quick in the tricky stuff and climbs better than most bikes I have ridden.

I'm really happy with how the build turned out and how it rides! Keep up the good work sharing your thoughts and builds and thanks for all the inspiration!

Anybody in contact with Adam lately? I contacted him after Chinese New year, but no reply so far....

I had requested a quote through Carbonda's site late last month. My contact/seller was not Adam but Maria.
Emailed back and forth for two weeks and always received a prompt reply. Last week completed the order Normal with BSA BB, size M, candy red and gray decals.

Re: Carbonda fm936 Thoughts Here is my build..First bike build ever... easier after i got all the parts / tools, but still took much longer than expected ( Fork and dropper post took 5 months to come due to backorder ). Just need to reduce size of cables / cut steerer tube )and having some issues with the derailleur goes to 11-12 gears..

10.5 kg.. total weight, cost about $4K

I am just compiling the parts list.. will post the link. Thanks for all the folks who helped.. several of you went over and above to help me put the bike together..
