Seems like a very good build you are up for!


How did you decide on the seller, the quality definately looks good but did you go through the process of checking different stores and ended up with "the one you had the best feeling?"

Also for the Wheelset - did you order from a specific re-seller or directly via CSC.

Thank you.

I can't wait to build the bike. My groupset should arrive tomorrow. I find that communication with Xiamen Carbon Speed is better than Farsports/ Wheelsfar. Their products are also high quality. I believe that everybody are happy with Xiamen Carbon Speed. Don't get me wrong, Farsports is also a high quality manufacturer.

But deal with Peter/Allen is wonderful.

For the saddle, I chose the Mixed 5D. The only update for my build will be GP 5000 tires. I have only classic GP.

Beautiful build. Thanks for the detailed post and looking forward to your ride report but I'm pretty sure you'll be very happy. I still am since 8/2024!!

I just ordered a frame from the same store!

Looking forward to getting it!

Has anyone ever ordered directly from taiwaneisen.cc or directly from their store via Ali?

Sorry where is everyone buying there frames from?
The original link BeR posted well the store shows nothing on it available so obviously closed down.
Messaged Tan Tan and they said that they manufacture there frame
So
Tan Tan
Taiwaneisen
Yoho Bike?

I just paid for a frame on the store originally linked in the first post here yesterday. Thankfully through AliExpress, so if it turns out to be a scam I am sorta protected.

Ordered mine direct from taiwaneisen last year and have been more than pleased.

I can get to Aliexpress using the link on their page, but I can't see any frames/items here

Yeah, same here, empty store.... (in firefox)

Maybe this is not a surprise since they are seller counterfeit frames.... I guess they will just close one store and start another when there are complaints...

I contact now Taiwan Eisen Bike Store on AliExpress, waiting for response.
