Has anyone got any experience or knowledge of leichten bikes? They have some pretty attractive models with pretty good pricing but can't find much about them

E-Bike Frames & Builds / Szzs CEF55 - Bafang M820 ebike
« on: March 19, 2026, 07:01:51 AM »
Just wondering if anyone could give any feedback on either SZZS (Shenzen Zhaosheng carbon fibre technology), the CEF55 frame or the Bafang m820.

Looking to bite the bullet on The purchase but just wanted to do a final check on the whole setup

29er / Bxt hardtails - mtb056 or mtb086
« on: February 16, 2026, 06:30:57 PM »
Looking to purchase a hardtail for mostly XC and gravel riding. I know I could get a different model but want to make use of my rockshox pike and parts I already have at home.
Is there anyone with good or bad experience of these models?
Alternatively if there's any other frames that will take a 120mm-140mm fork, UDH compatible, ideally cable ports (not headset routed), threaded BB

29er / Hardcore hardtail frame
« on: January 27, 2026, 11:21:54 PM »
G'day all

 Looking to replace my frame for something to fit me better. Ideally suited to a 140mm fork but will be happy with anything from 130mm-160mm. Also happy for it to be aluminium or carbon.
 Any suggestions for a good fit would be greatly appreciated.

So I finally got a response from Quickpro (from their Australian Instagram)

$2300usd for the bare frame which includes shipping to Australia

Builds starting at $3700 with options to upgrade (see attached)

I ultimately decided against it as I can get so many similar builds for the same or cheaper with a frame that is EWS tested and the company is easily contactable or have local dealers. Such a shame. Really seemed like a great option

Wow, I'm astounded you got a response. I've tried several times and no reply to any of my emails or website website enquiries.

Does seem a little steep. You would hope for that price that you'd get some good customer service and warranty/guarantee

29er / Best enduro frames
« on: July 20, 2025, 06:30:28 AM »
Hi all

 Looking to do a enduro build soon. Preferably around the 165mm+ rear wheel travel mark. Compatible with 170-180 forks as that's what I already have spare at home

 Thanks

The force enduro is now available on quick pro's website along with a sweet looking DH bike and XC bike. Now they just need a trail bike

29er / Carbonda - nukeproof reactor
« on: June 05, 2025, 10:45:39 PM »
So from reading a few threads on here I gather that carbonda manufactured nukeproof frames. I was wondering if there was a reactor frame available from carbonda. Always really fancied a reactor but never managed to get one before nukeproof shut up shop

« on: March 20, 2025, 12:19:15 PM »
Found this on FB. Hoping someone here might have some more info or a purchase link. Never heard of Quick Pro before

Changes from what I've read are;
- 230 e2e shock
- idler pulley

Apparently it's from the original nukeproof manufacturer in China who've linked up with another Chinese company for this bike

Looks good though IMO

29er / Re: BXT-MTB-117 150mm AM bike
« on: March 16, 2025, 05:59:55 AM »
Has anyone had any issues with this frame so far other than the mentioned problem with certain sizes and the shock sticking?

Also, anyone mulleted it yet? I really like a 460-465 reach, if I get the large and mullet it, it'll come out at 460ish pretty nicely

29er / Best trail bike frames with 120-135mm travel
« on: January 01, 2025, 03:51:20 PM »
G'day all. First post in the forum and looking forward to jumping further down the Chinese frame rabbit hole
Anyway, I'm looking to build a shorter travel trail bike, ideally with 130-135r/140-150f travel. I've found a couple frames but really want to see all that's on offer. I've been looking at;
- lightcarbon lcfs958 (only concerns are I've heard quality control sometimes isn't great and the seatpost insertion on my size is only 200mm)
- carbonda CFM-1001 (not sure if there's any difference between this and the FM1001 I've seen mentioned on the forum)
- Ican p13 which appears to be identical to the CFM1001
- tantan fm198 (seems to be more of an XC frame in all honesty but the frame I did want isn't available anymore)

Are there any frames I'm missing or anything about these frames I've looked at that I should be aware of (good or bad)

Thanks in advance. I look forward to reading the responses
