Congrats!

I see you finally finished building your bike. Get used to the pedals and do not be afraid of falling onto the floor. It may happen but you have to try them.
Let us know how it goes.

RU in the USA?
Were all your orders delivered door-to-door?
I guess it depends on the country you live in, if the customer pays or not the import taxes and duties.

Hi FirstCFbike:

I sent you private messages. Hope you can answer those questions.

Thanks,

Hi:
I checked reply #10 as indicated but there is no email from the vendor(eBay) you got the frame. The other parts I can see the vendors with the links.
If I can have the email from the guy I can star the purchasing process.
Thanks again

Thanks! yes, that's the measure I thought it was. As I would like to start the purchase process, do you mind if you send me the email address of the guy so I can start working on it?
Do not forget to send the final pics when you finish building it. I've tried to look for it on eBay but there is nothing.  On another note, when you import goods there is a tax to pay, right? Is that something exclusively from eBay? I mean, tax exempt. Can you clarify on that please. The other vendors like DHGate and AliExpress tell the buyer to pay custom tax and import duty one.
Thanks,

Hi:

Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate the time you spent to answer my questions. Yes, I would like you to give me the email address so that I can start reaching out the guy. Knowing that your transaction was safe, I will start the process to purchase the frame. I will wait for those pictures you are going to take to see the rear spacing measure. I think, it should be 130mm for 25-28 mm tyres but I am not sure as I have not seen the measure. Was the bottom bracket you ordered BSA=BB68 English or Italy. You probably asked for the English, right?  Did you have to pay any import duties or taxes? Was it door-to-door delivery? I am sorry for the many questions I am asking to you man, but I want to make sure this is safe to do it. My question about the 32-36 is because I am planning to get a rear cassette with sprockets 32-36 for climbing. Which cassette do you have? 11-28,11-32? If you used Ultegra, you probably have 11-28, 11-32. That's the reason I asked you that. The front crankset should be 50-34, compact, right?

Thanks for the information and waiting for that final picture when you finish assembling your bike. By the way, what is the final weight you are expecting once you build it.

Hi FirstCFbike:

Nice frame man! I like it. I am trying to do the same, I mean to build my own bike and I would like to ask you some questions. How long did it take? Where in eBay did you get it? Is there any reason why you did not want to get the frame painted? What's the measure of the rear spacing? and.. what would be the maximum tyre width you can use with the wheels you have? Is the bottom bracket BSA=BB68? Do you think I can go 32-36 in the rear cassette?
Thanks for your feedback and comments, again. nice set up for your bike.

Hi guys:
I am new to the forum but I have been practicing cycling for more than 5 years. I am currently trying to look for reliable vendors where I can purchase a frame and build my road bike. I have been reading all the posts about the different vendors but would like to hear from you. Have any of you purchased a carbon frame from a reliable vendor? Your help is strongly appreciated. On another note, have you heard about CarbonBikeFrame7? Thanks a lot for your comments. I am looking forward to hearing from you so that I can purchase a frame.
