Multiple storefronts for the same vendor
Anyone who's been shopping for Chinese bikes and parts will start to recognize that the same companies own several storefronts under different names. As an aid to the newcomer to Chinertown, here are a few of the ones I've noticed. Additions and corrections welcomed.

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
I dealt with Katie. You could try her: katietan@carbonda.com I didn't negotiate. I paid the prices they quoted. January 24, 2022, 09:41:01 AM |

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
This thread has been a been big help in ordering my first Chinese frame. Thank you to everyone who has contributed! I placed my order on January 15 and got tracking info on the 26. But so far UPS tracking says just the label has been created. I went with a purple and green chameleon paint. Gonna build with Light Bicycle AR46 wheels and SRAM Rival AXS groupset. Hoping to get it around 8.3-8.4 kg's.

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
My last update was 1st of februari, saying: "Flight waiting to take off". I wonder if the flight ever left the ground.Eventually I got the frame the 9th of february. Without any status update (still showing "Flight waiting to take off") a courier all of a sudden delivered a big box. See some photo's attached for the result of the paint in the frame. I'm VERY satisfied how this turned out. Got the last bits to build the frame up just yesterday. Hoping I can make a start this weekend! Keep you posted!    BTW: Sorry for the late update.

Wing & Carbonda
Taking the plunge into the world of Chinese carbon was interesting, to say the least. After much due diligence, I settled on the L FM936 & M FM1001 from Carbonda. I submitted my inquiry and Wing was quick to respond with pricing & general information as to how to conduct the transaction. Communication was superb throughout - including some potential "I might add 3rd, and 4th frame to the order" conversations - and I generally had a reply within 48-72 hours, if not sooner. Frames arrived well packed, and without any issues, shipping holds, etc. Upon inspecting the frames I found the FM1001 was a L, not the M that was ordered - an easy enough mix-up when pulling orders from the inventory, so I'm not pointing blame/fault at anyone, these things happen. I contacted Wing, who requested a few photos of the serial number and the small info tag on the inside of the headtube and corrected the mix-up almost immediately. A new M frame is being shipped out, and the L I currently have is repacked, and awaiting shipping tags. Wing said they would send me the tags, to ship to another US-based customer, as soon as they were ready. As someone who's worked in the cycling industry, in several different roles, for nearly 30 years, I have to say that this is an outstanding example of customer service! As my current role dictates, I have various bikes built up to showcase a range of products, but I try to use bikes that aren't from the "Big-3" or other high visibility brands. Thanks to my experience with Wing & Carbonda, I will definitely be using their frames for my future "showcase" builds! March 25, 2022, 01:06:35 PM |

Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
So I finished my bike about 1 month ago. Very very happy with it. A step (leap?) forwards coming from a Cube Aerial. Very direct, responsive, easy to ride and reassuring. Just rides fast. I go about 3-4km faster with 15 BPM less heartrate in my case. Can't find anything my Cube did better. Very happy with the end result! Picture was without bartape for easy last minute adjustment of the brake levers. Will take a picture of the driveside one day. But first I've got some KM's to shred!
