Anyone have any experience with these things? I dont want to spend too much initially since I dont know how much use I'll get out of it.

All I can find are sponsored 'reviews'

The link isn't working for me, what is it?

This link only comes up to a generic item page for me.  But the page that came up for me says "Super Deals"  and has a different list of bicycle parts I usually don't see in my feeds.

For me both the links go to "Oops" page that's something new for me on Aliexpress.

I have a lower model iGPSORT computer (the 50, I think) and it has worked pretty well. It's stood up to some abuse, although the battery life isn't as good as when new. iGPSORT has responded quickly when I've emailed with questions.

I purchased the IGS630 off of Amazon on sale last November for $160.   It works great and has more features than I have used yet.   All I could find (and still find) are the IGS620s for sale on Aliexpress.   It appears that the current asking price for the IGS630 is $239 on Amazon.   

I like the USB-C connector.  I only have to carry one cable to charge both my IGS and Cell phone.

Not Aliexpress but a company (in the USA) that is going out of business is blowing off Carbonda 696 frames at $400 a pop. If anyone is interested -

Only one color choice but it does look fantastic and popular for gravel type bikes. Don't think 696 needs any introduction. I'm close to pull a trigger on one myself.

To avoid confusion - "Take60" is the coupon to be applied at checkout time.

That logo font is so damn ugly, i'd prefer just a non painted frame over that.

Priced at 1000 for me. I like that color though, wish I had gotten it instead of my chameleon green

Is it me or does that frame look to be 1x only (no FD mount on the frame from what it appears)? I'm picking up either this one or the discounted CFR696 version but I need 2x for sure. Not too worried about price or finish betwen these two.

I read elsewhere that the geo between the GF-002 and CFR696 is identical. Can someone confirm this?

It indeed seems 1x only. If 2x is a must I wouldn't risk it and go for the 696 copy - since there are no returns/exchanges.

The GF002 from Velobuild comes with FD mount though. I have the GF002 and it turned out to be a really good frame. Stiff but not too aggressive, perfect for me. The geo is very similar to 696 too. When I was shopping back then, I ultimately went with Velobuild because Chris was much faster to respond than Carbonda and pricing was about $150 less. I think going with 696 wouldn't have made a difference. The paint quality of Carbonda is better than VB.

The 696 is rather popular, probably the most popular open mold frame of recent times?
 I just ordered one by the way! So in about 15 days, I think I will be able to note differences between the two, in finer details.
