Re: Pro-mance M7007 II Build (9000 g/19.84 lb)
Yes, Kerschbaumer's bike is a Hongfu 258 with some paint. After some research, I pretty much built up a top-end version of his bike after seeing some pics of the Torpado Matador. Think it's 9.4kg. And, yes, you can indeed mount the shock upside down like on his bike. It took me a while to realise that mind you! Did half a season on it in Irish xc national races and got on pretty well. First time racing a full suss in years of racing. Still needs some tweaks though, the saddle feels WAY far back when pedaling due to the strange seat tube angle. Thoughts on this??? Also, I changed the stem to a 80mm with a normal angle. The other yoke in the pic was tricky to control with the downward angle. Excuse the crappy quality pics  November 15, 2019, 12:27:48 PM |

Re: Pro-mance M7007 II Build (9000 g/19.84 lb)
Very nice, but let me ask you why are you riding a medium frame being 182cm tall? No wonder you are using a 100mm stem

Re: 29er XC Hardtail - Boost - Modern Geometry
Given that a 34 SC has an A-C of 530mm, and the listed geometry of the LCM908 is with a 490mm A-C, it will change significantly with either a 100mm or 120mm fork. They are using the equivalent of an 80mm 29er fork for their geo; those aren’t even in production anymore. I.e., that 69.5 degree HTA becomes a 67.5 degree HTA with a 120 up front.

Re: Workswell wcb-m-145 / wcb-m-299
I do not have experience with the wcb-m-145 or 299 but i have owned the wcb-m-062. I raced the Frame for 3 Years before the right Chainstay snapped. Both Frames are sold by 2 german Brands: RaceXtract and BQ-Cycles. I Know a few guys which ride the Frames of those Brands without any issues. September 09, 2021, 10:58:05 AM |

Re: Lightcarbon: New LCR017-D (or Yishun R1058-D)
Some newest photos of LCR017-D with T47, Of course I'm not sure. It's my damn kitchen scales.  But since the manufacturer specifies 910 g, it should be about right. December 05, 2023, 11:19:31 AM |

Re: Workswell disaster
Yeah at that price point you’d expect a better product or at least more support. Sorry you got hosed. Enjoy that Orbea!

Supersix / Soloist / Addict lookalikes in 32C in 2024?
Men of culture, My next road bike is probably going to look like that (I want something for the mountains), with c.50mm wheels. Pictured, Cannondale supersix, Rose Xlite & Rose Reveal (endurance), latest Giant propel (so skinny now...), Cervelo soloist (nothing burger), Scott addict (nothing burger). Ironically (?), i think my favourite here is between the supersix & the Rose Xlite. Question: what are the Chinese options for similar frames? I want something that takes 32C. Thanks! PS: really feels like we've reached peak bike, one really needs a trained eye to tell bikes apart... March 21, 2024, 04:43:37 AM |

Re: Workswell disaster
we have purchased a triathlon frame from them...we ran into a very dangerous issue with the aluminium stem..which basically broke during an indoor session, luckily...the complete handlebars snapped of due to the broken stem. After checking the stem, it shows it was just a design flaw... It took us a long time to get a new stem, which is now looking a bit stronger. Never did workswell inform us about this dangerous design nor did they send it for free......a seat post issue could not been handled,we were told, they would not produce this frame anymore...(after 2 years ). It was just luck, that the broken stem did not cause a major injury or accident. If the bikes and or parts would have beend tested on those fancy machines they claim to test the parts, this would have shown up after a day..there where 350 km on the bike when this happened.. so, we stepped away from them after this issue..

Re: Looking for best frame brand
I've also been looking for the stiffest lightest most aero comfortable endurance frame with 60mm clearance for cheap. Let me know when you find it

Re: Let's make the slickest bike on the planet
So a note on the drop bars. While absolutely everything is available in oil slick color, road bike drop bars simply do not exist. Anywhere. Not ebay, not Taobao, not Ali or Temu. I find this fact extremely odd. Like, why? After looking around for a long time, i actually found someone that has these. Singapore-based Tsunami bikes, which does singlespeeds and the like (and whose other products are readily available on AliEx, though with no official store), happen to produce one. In their so-called "Weapon" line. The graphics and cringe level on this stuff is quite high. Imprinted with the text "Like a bullet... All the way!!!", and with a price of $70 shipped, this is by far the most expensive oil slick component that is gonna be on this bike.  As you can see, it's also gonna add to the "I'm too embarrassed to ride this"-factor, but that can only be considered a Good Thing. It's a bit of a steep effort, i mean - not much of this bar is gonna be visible behind the bar tape. But we're doing this proper, so the order has been placed. Meanwhile, the frame listed as "shipped" but isn't actually moving, and the tracking number doesn't seem to comply with anything. So not sure exactly what is going on, it doesn't seem to have been put into any sort of shipping system yet. As an additional note, Surprised Store (which ended up having the best price by some $40 odd margin), contacted me to pay $40 extra for DPD shipping, correcting themselves and noting nevermind, DPD ain't available for my non-EU country anyway. Ceccotti's official store was a bit miffed that i didn't order directly from them, which i definetly will next time. But surely there's gonna be a bit of a nail-biting game waiting for that frame to come home. May 06, 2025, 06:29:31 AM |
