Anyone know what's going on with these guys. The website has been "closed" pending further announcements.

    Thanks alihisgreat,

    Was just trying to get an inside track on things. They dropped a bunch of suppliers a while back, but while they said they would explain why, the subsequent announcement was never very detailed or clear.

    I understand that they have dropped all frames and components supplied by Flybike (includes: Dengfu, Hongfu, Miracle). The Moderator has explained the reasons to me but has not indicated whether it is information for the public domain. This is why you'll see build pages for Dengfu products disappear from the forum.

    Hi All,

    Seems Velobuild is no longer supporting purchasers of frames that are no longer sold via that forum, and postings relating to older frames are being removed from the site.
    I am starting a new page dedicated to my FM098 build, so if you want to take a look:-

    It's in its infancy, so bear with me.
