Orient Express - Cheap Chinese Rims / Wheels / Forks / Frames / Cranks / Etc

They'll probably sell you one without the fork warts.

Yes, it's the same as the on one freeranger and the vitus substance (and many others).

I like the substance and the venon evo thing. If they're still around in January I might look at them again.
Mudguards
2 x 12 46/36
650 and wide 700

preferably shimano.

I've got a brand new substance frameset i need to sell. 52cm. The other half bought it in the wiggle end of days sale but then went and bought a Stigmata frameset instead!

oh jesus - how much?

£550+postage? DM'ed you.

get this @Chalfie cheapest way to buy a carbonda

other 696 options are freeranger, cinelli something, tifosi cavazzo and a few more

mudguards mainly, I miss my old 696

in this version the bike was 9kg with dynamo lights and mudguards:

@amey is right. She crashed her 696 so was replacing it with this.

If those are carbon mudguards, could you share a link?

yes! they were from swarf cycles (RIP)

Ooof remember when 650b was a thing?

Shifting on that thing was so so good

I believe they're the very same. I think they bought the moulds

Clean build. Why did you sell it?

How does it stack up against your trek?

Any thoughts on the ebay 1" carbon forks? I see Hylix and Toseek branded.
Any real world use cases? Would love to hold on to my teeth :)

I'd recommend Carbonda for forks. I have a set and not died yet. Was a rec from here.
Don't know if they have 1" though.

DREDGE: I’ve got two genuine SMP saddles, one ‘hybrid’ and two Chinese carbon knockoffs. My arse has reviewed these over a long period of time and the un/comfortable truth is the knockoffs work better for me.
I assume that some people on here bought the knockoffs, so these are my questions:

1] was the Chinese copy a specific SMP model? If so, what was it supposed to be? (it seems to be shorter than the genuine saddles I have)

2] has anyone got a spare they’re not using?

What do I need to consider here?
Can I just stick a 120 stem on the GF and be happy?

yep, slammed or negative 10º at least

can't beat that for looks and cred

these are too heavy, beefy carbon frames should have skinny long stems IMO (kalloy uno)

i dispute this dogmatism
