New carbon bikes into UK

How does it ride?

.

Look like it be cheaper just to buy directly, even with imports fees.

That's the most identical one I can find, just with LaVita name slapped on it, thus saving R&D.

This is going well.🤗

The carbon bars help to reduce vibration and we're intending to ship with Lizard Skins bar tape.

That's what you're adding to make the generic one to stand out under the LaVita names?

So it can take 60mm 700c and bigger 650b, is that correct?

This thread is hilarious.

@Ricochet
That’s what he said yesterday.
He also said it’s at the road bike end of the gravel spectrum yesterday, but now it’s got the geometry of a tourer/gravel bike.

I’m starting to wonder if the op has even laid eyes on the geo chart for what they’re planning to sell...

Thanks. We supply as gravel or road version, the difference being the tyres. Supplied gravel tyre is 700x42c. Clearance in 700 is up to about 60mm; depends a little on the tyres and how they run on 622-19 rims. Obviously can go larger on 650 wheels.

Clearances for @Ricochet

To be fair to Hunt and the others, there's a lot to be said for selling Chinese direct wheels from a UK company because they would be liable for any faults, replacements etc. Personally I wouldn't want to start a company taking on that risk unless each item was inspected upon delivery from the factory.

I handles as a touring bike but it's a road bike because it doesn't have any mounts.

There is no way can squeeze anything bigger than already tight 40mm in those chainstays and deffo not 650b.

....Just quoting the guy selling the bike and claiming he can fit 60s in.....

Maybe it’s not the exact same generic frame as the Twitter bike and has been designed around providing extra clearance?

Do you offer a warranty? What about returns?

Gonna be honest I didn't realise I posted the exact same bike from Aliexpress as this LaVita one until Ed pointed it out. I just searched "carbon gravel bike" and it was on the first page.

Lavita brand origin story.

No chance this fits 700x60. It even has the same tyres as the Twitter bike (700x40).

If you haven't already, please don't invest a lot of money into this

It take 29ers 2.4 tyres which I seriously doubt.

I also doubt they even seen the bike let alone ridden it.

I wonder if LaVita have attempted a soft launch/looking for feedback on other forums and how that’s going.
We’ve just calmly asked sensible questions that any informed buyer would want answered before throwing their hard earned money on a bike but can imagine some people just taking the piss royally....
