Bike Mielec

Do you know what kind of weight your mate's frame is?

Size 52ish 1700 grams with thicker down- and headtube.

If anybody has a Thomson stem going spare to match my seatpost let me know! Ideally 31.8x70mm

Parts for my, as yet unpurchased, Mielec:

^ fork costs more than frame?

mutton dressed as lamb... ;)

^ fork costs more than double the frame?

ftfy

like a boss, doing it right etc.

The fork and stem are both from China. I've got a real 3T fork on another bike and planned on waiting about to get one on eBay but had heard good things about the chinese ones. The stem I just wanted to try. I've got an ARX Team on my road bike and thought I'd give the fake LTD a go.

Y U NO ASK FOR GROUP CHINESE BUY?

srsly though, what dorrah did you pay for the fork? shipping duty etc?

OR a link to the website?

fake branded... not impressed...

@amey - I'm in Glasgow so a group buy didn't make sense. Fork was $88, stem was $38. From aliexpress, free postage, took 11 days.

@markairsy1 - I've got plenty of genuine 3T but didn't plan to use genuine 3T for this bike. After browsing the Chinese carbon on aliexpress I ended up liking these parts more than any others.

I'm sure you do have plenty of genuine stuff man.. its just my dissaproval of people using fake branded stuff and pretending it is genuine (which you are not).. like people who wear fake sneakers. but Rusty i really dont care mate i'm not having a go... the stem looks really nice actually and at those prices who can argue.

It certainly doesn't make sense using the real deal on a Mielec! Looks like a nice build coming along.

headtubes arrived, sparkly sparkly lacuqer is there too, so they're working full on now.
"something should be ready by the end of this week, or at the beginning of the next one".
I think it will be a good time to send me the shipping money soon, how many separate destinations do we have does anyone know?

powdercoats taking a bit longer or them ready possibly by next week too?

i have no money to build mine up anyway haha

well keep in mind some are ready now, have been just waiting for the coat so 3 days should be plenty to have it solid
I dont know if I should regret not ordering any or not...

Martin. I'll be up for ordering with you early next year. Might try and see if they can do something a bit different to a Mash. TFG Ono?

one more frame you say..

I'll have a chat with the wife.

mm, i will try tomorrow.
need some mental prep for this.

tempted to buy one of those fake 3T stems to go with my fake gt pulse/mash hybrid

Think that's my forks sorted too

Just get one of the unbranded ones and it's all kush

Hi,

Oh my, just added up my parts wishlist, no longer a cheap bike.
