Thanks all for the recommendations. I may just bite the bullet and go with a Carbonda frame. As far as wheels go, either Yoeleo or lightbicycle.

Thank you for the suggestions! I have been looking at Carbonda as well. I am concerned about stiffness mainly. I've heard many times that these Chinese frames are not as stiff as a Specialized frame or a Canyon frame for example.

What is your experience with Carbonda and stiffness / reliability? What have you built up?

Appreciate the lightbycicle suggestion as well. Only heard good things.

Hi All,

First post here. I own a Specialized Roubaix SL4 Expert (2015 carbon) - great frame, but am growing out of it. I am looking to build up a frame, and have been exploring Chinese carbon frames for a while.

I have heard about Planet X, Velobuild, Yoeleo, DenFu and others.

My question is, what is the most reliable frame? Anyone have any experience with a particular brand they like? Looking to build an endurance frame for longer rides.

I know Yoeloe are known for their wheels (which I am considering for the build).

Thanks again!

Best,
