Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Low-key Carbon Wheel Set under 500€
« on: August 12, 2026, 02:24:06 PM »
I want to upgrade my commuter bike. I live in Berlin, the mecca of bike theft, so I’m looking for a good, low-key carbon gravel wheelset:

- No logos, no decals
- Pure UD matte carbon
- Rim height: 35 mm maximum
- Price under 500 Euros

Does anyone have any ideas? Elitewheels is already too flashy for me...

That's definitely not a bike for persons with long legs. S/R (of course without spacers) is 1,45...

My inseam is even 88,6cm according to the bike fitter which results in a significant offset. Enclosed you find a picture Canyon S15. Flipchip for offset is 25mm and the saddle is even pushed further to the back. Distance between saddle tip and middle of bottom bracket is 83mm. As a result I have to shorten the stem to 8cm.

Hello,
I am looking for a new endurance bike frame. I have extremely long legs (179cm with 88 cm inseam) and am therefore looking for a bike with a stack reach ratio >1,55.

I ride a Tantan GR048 gravel bike in L, which fits me perfectly with an 8cm stem (stack 600, reach 381). Now I'm looking for something similar as an endurance bike. The Carbonda CFR1056 comes close (stack 589, reach 385).

Do you know of any other endurance frames with similar values?

Hello,
I would like to order the GR048 from Tantan, which has the same geometry. What I don't quite understand: Is the frame from the same manufacturer and Tantan and Spcycle are just distributors OR do Tantan and Spcycle build it themselves but to the same specifications?

Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Carbonda Cfr 1056
« on: August 22, 2023, 05:39:05 AM »
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  :)
