29er / Re: Chiner frames for larger riders

Thanks bxcc.

Having looked at the actual frame geometry I reckon I'll be OK on a 19inch frame as the ETT is similar to my current frame.

As such I'm looking at the Fr202 which seems to be one of the cheapest out there.

Does anyone know what bike this frame is a copy of/closest to?

Seller is FLYXII, have we heard of them before?

Thanks guys.

It may be a while before I'm ready to order so will hang around for a while and try and pick up some tips.

Here are some I like the look of.

Not sure about the dropout position or the angled chainstays on this one.

Like the colour of this one but would prefer a threaded BB.

Seller of this one is Sobatobikes, any opinions on them?

My requirements are 29er, 20-21inch frame size, 135mm QR dropouts, threaded BB preferred, open to any suggestions.

29er / Chiner frames for larger riders
January 26, 2018, 12:26:33 PM
Hi all,

I currently ride a 29er built around a Cube alloy frame, but I am very tempted to upgrade to one of these China carbon hardtail frames.

My question is, are they OK for a larger rider?

I'm 110kgs/240lbs, is there anyone out there this sort of size that has had one for a while, and how is it holding up?
