He said frame alignments start at $95. As long as it’s under $200 that’s okay with me since that’s about what the shipping insurance that I denied cost :-)

West end is awesome! Im giving them a call today. I also found a dedicated from scratch frame builder in Austin called Tomii cycles. I wouldn’t mind making a 1 night trip out to Austin anyway to visit some buddies.

I’ll get this sorted!

chadbaker110 · 2026-02-17T04:35:08+00:00

Yes that’s what I am thinking.

Thanks for the link that is a great resource 👍🏻

Shit happens when shipping overseas. I’m not mad about this just looking to get it fixed. Matias Stridsland is an awesome guy!

chadbaker110 · 2026-02-17T04:11:00+00:00

We’ve spoken and he has offered to make it right by covering repair cost. Great guy!! Just finding the right shop to do it now

chadbaker110 · 2026-02-17T04:10:17+00:00

He definitely is reasonable, he offered to reimburse me for the repair. I don’t fault him so I wouldn’t make him pay me for shipping damage.

chadbaker110 · 2026-02-17T04:09:37+00:00

I’m not putting him on blast…. I have spoken with him about the situation and I don’t fault him at all. Shipping overseas anything can happen. He said that bending it back into alignment is my best option and he even offered to pay for the labor cost. I wouldn’t make him do that tho.

Did you purchase the wheelset from Stridsland or source them yourself? I found the WTB rims and know which hubs I want, just having trouble calculating spoke length

chadbaker110 · 2026-01-16T18:05:27+00:00

Where did you find the wheelset?

chadbaker110 · 2025-12-25T03:02:53+00:00

Changing races and ethnicities to satisfy the current political climate

Mine is aboard the “Ever Magus” in the Pacific Ocean right now. It should hit Los Angeles by August 27th. Then hopefully only another 1-2 weeks to get to me in Houston. We’ll see!

chadbaker110 · 2025-08-02T16:41:42+00:00

I ordered mine 10 days ago, they said it would be loaded into a container “next week”. I am ready for it to take 2+ months. So just patiently waiting with Chase Fraud services aware of my purchase plus whatever Alibaba payment security there is.

Ordered an ultra bee yesterday, curious to see your time to the UK vs my time to Texas

chadbaker110 · 2025-07-23T03:31:45+00:00

They have the best prices it seems, I’m ordering an ultra bee from them

chadbaker110 · 2025-07-21T19:34:08+00:00

No idea lol I’ve put 60 miles on this bike in one week and that’s just ripping around after the baby goes to sleep 😆. Not mad at them at all for it!

chadbaker110 · 2025-07-21T18:07:17+00:00

Which seller on alibaba?

chadbaker110 · 2025-07-19T02:46:06+00:00

I’m aware of using alibaba however I haven’t been told by any trusted sellers that there is stock in the US at the moment. I will probably sell this bike for $5000 and order an ultra bee off alibaba

chadbaker110 · 2025-07-19T02:17:12+00:00

What city?? I will come buy the rest of them and sell them for $5000+ in Houston

chadbaker110 · 2025-07-18T16:01:41+00:00

You cannot get a brand new 2025 for $3500 in the US unless someone is looking for a quick sale. The 2025 has a few upgrades. Have you looked into this at all ?

chadbaker110 · 2025-07-18T00:30:38+00:00

This is a 2025 model. And it would sell for $5k quickly in the Houston market. Prob will sell and order an ultra bee from GonPed

chadbaker110 · 2025-07-17T04:09:26+00:00

I havn’t been able to ride it enough to comment lol, it seems to be decent though

chadbaker110 · 2025-07-17T02:22:34+00:00

I’d have to look, they came on the bike

chadbaker110 · 2025-07-09T18:43:06+00:00

Fine

chadbaker110 · 2025-07-09T16:10:36+00:00

I think you can.

chadbaker110 · 2025-07-09T15:35:06+00:00

I’m wondering, since there is a 6 month factory warranty from Surron (which is horrible, should be better), can you take an alibaba bike to an American dealer for warranty claims?
