I'm looking at getting an endurance frame as a relaxed road upgrade from my gravel bike and have been eyeing the YFR066 by Airwolf. https://airwolfcarbonbike.com/product/yfr066-airwolf-carbon-bike-frame-700c-disc-brake-road-carbon-bicycle-frame-roadbike-frame-carbon-road-disc/

Any reviews on this brand or recommendations for another frame, before I pull the trigger on 11.11 deals?
Frame is about $600, but I am willing to spend $750, if that amount will be enough to get me better quality.

Any help here is appreciated!
Note, I plan on purchasing on the di2 groupset from Merlin or aliexpress and already purchased a yuanan wheelset from Leon, who posts here.

I'm looking at this frame as well, I was considering the CFR1056 but this is almost identical geometry

I would take carbonda over airwolf 24/7.
Carbonda is an well known established brand, and airwolf is some aliexpress shop.

Oops  :-X I had already purchased the Airwolf when I saw this this morning. I almost tried to cancel, but the Airwolf ended up under $400 shipped and can take 38C vs. 32C tires, so hopefully it won't be the end of the world.

That is the same frame as the Rinasclta all road frame. Heard it was ok still tempted on pulling the trigger on it too

How did you get it down to $400 shipped?!

I didn't get the integrated handlebar! Since I wanted to have more adjustability.

I don't think Airwolf is any different from VB or such. Its fine. I communicated with them from their website and it was okay. Not many reports out there but whatever I could find seem good. All the best with your build!

Oh that's a great deal! Tried to get that deal myself AliExpress auto cancelled all my orders for security reasons and when I contacted support they said it was because I used an invalid coupon and I had to remove it, but all I used was the coupon from the homepage that it auto applied. Their customer support is pretty useless and told me to retry, which I did 5 times. A bit bummed out. But happy someone got that killer deal. Hopefully they fix the problem, so I can order before the deal is gone.

Hello

For those who own already an Airwolf YFR 066.
Is the front derailleur hanger riveted in the frame (so, unremovable), or fixed with some screws/bolts (so it can be easily removed)?
