Hello,

I am brand new here and very interested in the CFR 1056. The size M should fit me perfectly at 179cm and 87cm inseam. But I'm really torn and wonder if I should take the risk, since there are obviously some issues with quality at Carbonda:

1) I have a CFR 696, where the seatpost sags (already tried 4).
2) I read at @msm626 post "the holes for the rear brake caliper were slightly misaligned...". In this case I would be completely lost, since I am a relatively inexperienced hobby mechanic and in such a case even the bike dealer could possibly not help. 700 bucks for nothing...

How big do you estimate the risk, what are your experiences with quality assurance at Carbonda?

By the way: Great forum here 

This is my second bike and the first bike that I built. There is no tolerance issue with the frame.
My only suggestion is to try not to buy the integrated handlebar if you are not certain about your geometry. I took the shortcut and now find out the reach is a little bit long, but not terribly long that needs to redo all the work.
