It came from rocking bike on AliExpress- which I think sell yoho bikes - second bike I have recieved from them - the first a factor ostro vam - which I have had for a year and a half - about 1 month in from order or so

Here is my 58cm SL8 7.23kg with bottle cage, pedals, computer mount et al
Eps moulded - inside is slippery smooth

Wheels are a bit heavy

Have wheeltop group and I am impressed on how easy it was to set up

Yes that was me on Facebook- don't know for sure if it worked - Yohobikes said they would send out a replacement. I took the post down as there was a lot of negative discrimination- and I hate that. I actually think the frame is really good really good - the bar however just cracked - I tighten things in the right order when installing. Maybe because they were too long on the stem and too much force on shitty English roads - I don't know .

Anyway if the handlebars arrive I will put nice photos up to show off the bike - rather than when things go wrong.

Yes but I use a torque wrench - but your right its bullshit - can't believe yohobikes / rocking ignored me - was just about to order a second frame through them - I see its business but hey it's Crapola

I used to love AliExpress but they are coming to American

Heard back for AliExpress - at 05 am

Well as it's Sunday morning 24th to get an official report - which I would assume they are alluding to will be a bit hard

Looks like yoho bikes or rocking bikes on AliExpress are doing just that - last chance is AliExpress admin - but don't hold out any luck


Anyone know of any good sellers of handlebars?

The crack

Which seller was it ? Which version (cheap / normal / ultralight) ? How many kilometers ? No warranty ?

You can ask to F-C may be.

Rocking Cycling Store - bought in June 2023 - I actually rate the frame it's great - Version 1 - I have not done a huge amount on miles on it - just checked on AliExpress a similar listing of theirs  says 2years - will see if they will honour it - as I have not done a huge amount of miles on it - not even changed a chain.

I do break the occasional

Hello - I have a ostro vam and it looks like the handlebars is developing a crack - any suggestions on where I can get a decent replacement - v1
