Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056

Can anyone let me know roughly what the price is of the Carbonda CFR 1056?
This is the stock response from the vendor as of a couple weeks ago (you can send an email to them or fill out the contact form):

option 1:  490USD for external routing with frame ,fork ,seatpost and clamp
option 2:  650USD for internal routing with frame ,fork ,setpost ,clamp and handlebar HB1036

other parts cost :
12USD for headset
26USD for F&R axles
230USD for shipping cost ,shipping time is about one week

Usually the delivery time is about four weeks


There is also a slower shipping option at about half the above cost. And an extra derailleur hangar is $5.

I had mine customized - asked them to cover the holes that I wouldn't use with carbon (cost for that was $5/hole) and it understandably appears to have added to the above estimated delivery timeline.

How much did you tighten the BB guide? I've had frames with a similar issue, but it turned out I screwed the guide in too tight.
...
This was a different frame though, so this may not apply to the 1056.

Different tightening would not change the situation here, I guess... because the guide is tightened from the outside. Well everything is in place now and works; I'm in contact with Wing for some more spares and part of the are two additional BB guides. Usually if I have spares in stock I do not face an issue. So those are my Voodoo dolls ...:-)
Btw. the bike is built up; different stem is ordered for better cable routing. Bottle cages I'll also change once I come across some decent ones...

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056 I've begun to keep close track of my build project. The yellow hasn't been ordered. The orange may not ever be ordered.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame Finally finished my build, and of course it a rainy day  ;D

After a couple of rides I'll give some impressions and specs, with some better pictures.

Re: Velobuild VB-R-168 Frame Finally!  I've only had time to pick at the build 15-30minutes at a time so it took forever.
Wrong paint color notwithstanding, here are the other hiccups I experienced(mostly trivial):
- Brake cable exit hole on fork had some flaking carbon
- One of the Front brake mount screw holes was not deep enough, requiring use of an extra washer as a spacer
- Handlebar carbon is a bit messy inside making routing fiddly
- Rear brake mounts slightly misaligned, resulting in the slightest rub once per revolution (even if I manually open the Juin Tech calipers the whole way). It'll probably be fine once the pads are bedded
- some minor cosmetic scratches

And here is the good:
+ Weight was within specified, including hardware
+ Other than handlebars routing was super easy
+ Carbon looked super clean on the inside, other than deep in the fork
+ BB pressed in very cleanly

End build is a 1x12 based on the Sensah Empire Pro.
Showroom weight (without pedals) = 7.58kg
Weight with pedals and cages = 7.79kg
Real-world weight (with computer mount, computer, lights, Airtag, repair kit) = 8.6kg

UPDATE:  Included my parts and pricing.  All prices are Canadian Dollars, incl. taxes, duties, and shipping where applicable.  Weights are a mixture of estimates and actual, so differ from the final measured weight (probably some parts came in lower than advertised, and losses from cutting cables, handlebar tape, steerer, etc.)
