2 Years Later: FM028 Chinese Carbon Bike Review

bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online

1. how much weight did thhe plastidip add?
2. the cost is higher for some taiwan made carbon road frames. some taiwan carbon frames are better quality than some lower cost china frames. its often best to buy well established brand name bike frames
3. Yeah, mine was from affordablecyclingsports com and I'm pretty sure it's made in Shenzhen, China. Basically a 6K bike for a little less than half.
4. 18 lbs? I had a 15 year old aluminum Cannondale with carbon fork and Ultegra components that weighed the same. Now I have a 10 year old Aluminum Cannondale with carbon fork, stem, seat post, drop bars, Mavic Ksyrum wheels and full dura ace groupset that weighs about 16 lbs, and I bought it used for less than $1k. Why would you consider or even risk a buying a no brand Chinese frame when you could get a used quality brand for less?
5. I paid $600 for a Litespeed Ultimate frame on Ebay and built it up with Ultegra 6800. Props wherever I go. As a a teen, I always used to marvel at my friends' Litespeed's, Bianchi's, Colnago's, etc. Now that I'm an old man and can afford it, I took the plunge. Some 50 year olds buy a car. I bought a Litespeed, my dream ride.
6. FM028 ISP road frameset models full carbon road bicycle frame/fork/integrated seatpost

7. Can you share from which company did you buy it?
8. A lot of people bitch for everything one thing I notice there are cyclists that bitch for everything have problems its like having a girlfriend/wife if you become friends with them which I didn't
9. Where can you buy this bike. I mean the whole thing with wheels, drop bars, frame, brakes etc.
10. must got paid a lot by this company right? haha. 3 years review?? 1 year = 1days for you?
11. Where do you buy this bike
12. I've been looking for carbon fork reviews and can't seem to find one. I've bought an unbranded carbon 700c fork from ali express and I haven't tested it yet. I ride my bike daily, but not too hardcore. Just casual riding from one place to another instead of commuting. I'm just wondering how your fork handled the stress of riding.
13. Noticed that you threw on a u-lock around the seatstays. Is that the strongest or even preferred part on a carbon frame? I'll be commuting to work on my carbon, fortunately there's a secure storage facility but still not sure where on the frame I should put a bike lock on it.
14. What kind of wheels are those? Would love to see a full parts list.
    
    Thanks
15. Do you have a link?
16. I like the all back look versus the gold.
17. Reading some comments... I have Cannondale Flash carbon frame. And do you know what? It is made in China and it is the same quality as these no names. I just about logo on frame. Producing technologies are the same everywhere. No matter if it is Taiwan or China.
18. You can buy a quality frame set like Specialized S-works or other respected brands and built the bike on your own. I think you have just been lucky with that frame. Riding fake frames can be very dangerous. It also gives the whole industry a bad name. Why would you put your money and ass on a counterfeit frame?!!! These frames with no brands don't have good standards and quality control so you are risking it all. I hope you reconsider your stance on this.
19. now I just wonder besides being environmentally friendly, wouldn't it be better to spend like $2k on a motorcycle. Like decent quality honda or kawasaki used would be far more convenient.
20. get a cannondale caad 10, aluminum frame but better than every low end carbon bike, super stiff, super comfortable, only about $1400 for the whole thing with a shimano 105 groupset and weighs about 16 pounds stock.
