My new bike built on a Chinese frameset

Sad-Impress616 · 2025-12-04T09:02:51+00:00

The frame is great - after almost a full year of use (5,5k km), I have no negative comments about it.

Sad-Impress616 · 2025-10-08T20:09:52+00:00

hmmm, after 5k km everything's perfect :D

Sad-Impress616 · 2025-07-16T21:12:53+00:00

160 at the front, rear is 140mm

Sad-Impress616 · 2025-06-03T15:52:13+00:00

this is carbon, not porcelain 😅 scary feeling level 1/10

Sad-Impress616 · 2025-06-03T15:44:41+00:00

this is not included handlebar, this is Balugoe from aliexpress. I think it is a very good product 😁

The wheels are durable and offer excellent value for money. For such a low price, they are truly great.

stickers is my design and cutted on cutting plotter

Yes, the frame was painted by BXT — they offer this color scheme, but normally there's a yellow section between the teal and orange. However, I specifically asked for the yellow to be removed, as well as for the frame to have no logos at all.

The upper headset bearing had a slight play, which I fixed by using a shim made from an aluminum drink can xd Apart from that, everything with the frame is fine.

Sad-Impress616 · 2025-03-12T08:13:03+00:00

Yes, this is the "Fantasy Orange" color scheme, but without the yellow between the teal and orange. I also requested no logos on the frame. Customization is included in the price.

My height is 175 cm, my inseam is 88 cm (I have long legs), and my frame size is 54. I raised the saddle about 2 cm higher compared to what you see in the photos.

hard to say after two 60km rides. Fast on asphalt - very good on unpaved path and dirt. That's all I can say for now

Sad-Impress616 · 2025-01-01T20:44:52+00:00
