Can't wait for the price bump

I probably have the same one (mine's labelled sunshine though), weight is 500g, cost me $23. Have done 500km on it so far, pretty unspectacular. Shifting isn't 100% as crispy as before, this might be because of the added Roadlink though, no idea. It' definitely fine though, although I'm keen on trying out the Shimano one @frankenbike linked.

a good reviewed carbon seatpost?

liking this so far - https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/NO-LOGO-Carbon-seatpost-27-2-31-6-MTB-bicycle-seat-post-tube-full-Carbon-fiber/32781099397.html?spm=a2g0s.8937420.0.0.6730c6deEjnWgQ

Exactly this I wanted thank you!

Anyone on here heard/considered Walty Ti or similar before? They seem to be able to build custom titanium frame at competitive prices. I'm considering it based on what I've read so far.

This?

Someone in the gravel bikes thread has one. Do a search and ask them. I would find it for you but crap slow phone and dinner cooking

@Saffronspokes had a sweet bike by them. Cheap out his CP thread

Yeah Waltly made my bike https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/313121/

Was thoroughly impressed with them and the bike has been great so far...

Any replica of zipp sl-80 handlebar?

Just buy a SC-80? They're pretty cheaps.

I met a guy touring on one, he cycled from Germany to Laos and was chuffed with it

Great thanks for the responses guys, will enquire with them directly

I know the sc-80 is cheap but if someone knows a replica of the sc sl-80 made of 7050 aluminum would be better, for this reason I asked

Tiny, but bloody gorgeous!

Would love something like that in carbon.

Any thomson like setback seatposts? Silver ideally

thomson like setback seatposts?

Chinese industry is trying to establish itself as a valid global competitor on quality as well as price, I expect the PLA would come down hard on anybody selling seat posts which actually look broken before they're even shipped.

Like.

Ordered some tubular rims from the light bicycle, trying to decide on hubs but looking forward to building my own first wheel set.

Opps Wrong thread.

Hoping someone can help me. about a year ago I bought a BXT 29er thru axle fork from Aliexpress and its been good , yesterday whilst putting my bike in the back of my car it appears I have dropped receiver bolt of the thru axle, I cant find any info on my order or online about it , does anyone know where i could get a replacement or have one kicking about ?

Email BXT?

I have , I was hoping somebody might know an alternative to save having one shipped from China and waiting. Thanks though.
