I don't know if there is a specific reason. Simply, Romania is not listed in the list of countries where they deliver (although Germany is, for instance). Nor is EURO, or the Romanian currency listed as an option to be selected.
Thanks for the replies! I've seen xmcarbonspeed, but they don't ship to Romania. I'll have to see if any aliexpress dealer is trading their frames. Good info about Sobato, I'll think about it, thanks! My son is aprox. 1.45m, 8 yo. We're all quite tall in the family and he's going to grow fast. With the shortest stem, he will handle the M frame - I've made some tests. He's now riding a Specialised XS, 13,5 inch (aluminum frame) which fits him just perfectly. The point is that I'd rather skip the S size, and jump directly to M. The budget: a maximum of 500 USD, including the shipping.
I want to build a bike for my child, carbon fiber hardtail MTB, with some pieces that I have around: the wheels and the suspension fork, shifter&deraillers etc. The point is that my wheels are QR standard, 27.5 with novatec hubs (D771SB + D772SB). The fork is an 120mm Manitou, straight steerer, not tapered, but I have a spacer to reduce it to 100. On the other hand, there are adapters to solve the tapered headset/straight steerer problem. I'm completely new to carbon frames, and a bit reluctant, since the fame of chinese frames is not that great. Not to mention that I've seen on youtube this guy, and this really turns me off. I would't want my kid to go through such a thing:
Again, I'm building the bike for my son, safety comes first. As for me, I'm riding aluminum, and the safest scenario for this bike is, up to now, an aluminum superlight CUBE frame, which comes at 200Euros and 1700 grams for 16". But I'd like to try a carbon frame, he tested a team colleagues bike, and felt it really less tiring and absorbing shocks completely different.
Thanks everybody for being patient with a newcomer.
