I like the colour scheme, the red on the brakes etc.. and the tyres finishes it off nicely. Good to see you've not ruined it by going for the decals on it and pretend it's something it's not.

looks good.
something you should note though, it is very unwise to clamp your carbon frame in the workstand...can quite easily ruin a frame. Same goes for a lot of roof bars and car racks.0 -
That's a beauty.
How Does the ride feel? What was shipping like? I only ask as I'm looking at picking up a Chinese special myselfScott Foil - viewtopic.php?f=40044&t=129827790 -
Yes I normally clamp via the seatpost, but not for the pic. But that is the joy of a low cost OEM frame. You break it and it is not a massive dent in the finances and easily replaced.
I was a bit unsure about these frames originally, but having read many +ve reviews and the incredibly low price, I took the plunge, and it turned out to be a good decision. The bike felt instantly comfortable and rides a dream and looks good to boot! It also meant I could get higher spec components.0 -
How do you guys post the actual image on the post instead of a link?0

You paste the IMG code from photobucket and that'll instantly put your pic up
Just out of curiosity do you know who it was you got it from on eBay?Scott Foil - viewtopic.php?f=40044&t=129827790 -
very nice i think like most buying from ebay overseas doesn't seem to have many issues
after all they want to sell in the future and not after a quick sale bad rep no sales, going this way myself and saving money then buying the bits to finish it
well done enjoy it #freshair20120 -
