Nope, dead duck 🦆😂

We didn’t get enough money together to test a couple of frames. Then as usual
A load d1ckheads  piped up with, “Testing one frame won’t tell you anything — you need to test more than one.”

Really? 😂 And who exactly is paying for that then? FFS, there are some dickheads about.

Anyway, everyone was refunded and I cracked on with my life!

Quite amusing really, considering the number of people who are prepared to risk $1,000 on a counterfeit frame, but weren’t prepared to risk $10 or whatever it was to get a couple bought, sent to a professional, properly tested and have a report done.

I think some of them genuinely thought that if they didn’t get their $10 back, I was going to disappear off in my private jet to some sun-soaked island and live the good life 😂✈️🏝️.
Well looks like a few counterfeit sellers may have done exactly that already

That's a shame. I realy liked the post/idea when I stumbled on it last week. But you're not far off to conclude that there a bunch of very strange people out there. Good to let it rest and forget about it.

Thanks for your honesty and sharing this idea

Update
Thanks so much to everyone who’s contributed so far — I’ve already booked my flight to the Cayman Islands! 😄😄

This afternoon, I emailed Carbon Cycle Solutions in Bedford regarding a frame inspection. Once they get back to me with details on what their inspection includes, I’ll post an update here.

Also, someone I know who has ordered an X68 has kindly offered their frame for inspection once it’s delivered — much appreciated! I’ve asked Carbon Cycle Solutions whether they’re able to carry out the inspection on a fully built bike as well. Will share more once I hear back.

Is there any outcome of this experiment?

My current bike computer's finally starting to give up and looking at this.
Tend to just use maps and data collection but climb pro/ iclimb looks like an interesting feature.
I currently prefer to use my GPS without phone connection and just plug in to PC when I want to do uploads. How capable is the binavi/ air on its own?
Bonus question for this one- the sticky watts issue that Shane Miller highlighted for the binavi- did that transfer to binavi air? Does anyone know if the issues have been resolved?

I am running a BiAir Navi. Realy enjoy it. I do not use the spoken directions through my phone. Just use the notification and sound that something is coming up. (Sounds for a specific type of notification are selectable). Climbpro much better than on my Garmin 530. Sticky Watts I have not encountered. Run a Stages l/r PM.

For those who have Binavi air, if you import route in gpx format, the displayed route on device perfect match the maps and streets? I have Binavi and in some case the route is not too much accurate on the map, just want to know if is a tipical issues for this kind of instruments.
thanks
Last weekend I rode a 150km GPX guided tour. Although I haven't been looking at the navi continuously I did not encounter issues when looking at it.

How does it work exactly in your case? You turn on computer and have e.g 125m above see level and then it calibrates itself automatically?

Yes but only when you start riding/moving. It does not calibrate when I leave is laying around my house.

fo those who have this bike computer, can I ask if maps apre based on OSM or IGPsport own maps?
are ok for mtb, with singletrack? Could someone show photo of general looking of the maps?
thanks
It's OSM based but they are optimized by IGP. Therefore OSM cannot be downloaded 1->1 on the device.
MTB etc I have not tried.
Will try to upload a photo but need to know what zoom you like.
200m 100m 50m 10m 5m

Last few weeks riding with the BiNavi Air outside. Elevation keeps coming back to +/- 2-3 m mismatch. Which is great given the fact that I am riding between -3m to +10m under/above sea level.

I did the same as you did. Indeed it does not change and it is reading the wrong altitude. Here were I am living it is 1 m above sea level. It red yesterday 130m and today 45m. The auto calibrate does not work for me either even after riding. I only used it twice and the first time I manually corrected the altitude and did not bother to further test it. Now I used it for the second time and indeed it does not auto calibrate correctly.

Setting the altitude every time one rides is indeed a hassle. My suggestion is to wtite to them. They are very open to suggestions.
Be aware that until 25 Feb they have Chinese new year. Their response might be a little slow.

I already did wrote to them because of maps updates only work with Windows (Not Apple or Linux).
I also asked for a Magenta line for route indication instead of the green line currently available.

I just created a fit file and sent it to my BiNavi Air through the App.
According the user guide, (connect BiNaivi Air to APP tap on the yellow small icon, right low corner of device picture) Tap: Specially Function - Select: How to calibrate the elevation.Then it reads amongst more: Auto calibration of height is done through GPS. This will be updated 5 min after GPS connection
