Sounds like a good price.
Cant remember if these were lost in the 'week that was'nt'
http://shop.cycletaiwan.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=gk_flypage.tpl&product_id=196&category_id=28&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=53Absolutly.
I've seen few examples of OEM's hinting at being the same as various top-of-the-line framesets. Simply unbranded. They look identical, but the weights are often several hundred grams heavier, which makes me think that the same mold is being used but the lay-up is different. Probably being paranoid, but I'm steering clear of these. I'm very tempted to get a openly taiwanese frameset though*,
'Steering clear'...LOL
-
Who said they were? Unbranded doesn't mean no warranty.
Do you think the unbranded bars are simply grown in the garden from magic carbon beans or something?
The bars without branding are still made in a factory and still have the warranty from said factory, as well as the standard warranty from the seller if they're a proper ebay shop.Fortunately I'm bored.
I'm guessing magic carbon beans would need a proper hole to be dug?
-
Where do you think the respected branded bars come from?
The respected companies bars are usually made in the same factory then just have the companies logos applied.
It's one hell of a naive attitude to assume that 'Made in Taiwan' = fail.Nothing wrong with Taiwan. I've have components from there.
It's one hell of a naive attiude to buy carbon without a warranty tho.
-
I've managed to find some on ebay NO DECALS, thanks for your incorrect info though
And how would you expect me to take 'stickers' off. They're not stickers, always water transfers, then clearcoated....only way to get off is with wet & dry sanding which leaves abrasive marks as I found out on my carbon forks
Correction. Ebay was mentioned.
Unfortunately, not all carbon products are laminate/clearcoated finish.
Not all carbon products use water transfers either, some do have stickers.
Top marks on the find tho.
-
What are you talkin about? 'Stamp carbon'. Why would anyone want to stamp carbon, I wouldn't...
I'm after COMPLETE BLACK CARBON BARS - NO DECALSMy point is, you won't find new brandless carbon bars.
Unless you type 'Maxipack', 'Taiwan', 'Fail' into ebay.
Better to buy some respected branded bars and take the stickers off.
-
Unless my eyes are deceiving me I can still see shitty decals on them
Your airfix kits must have been beautiful.
Just 'HATER' scrawled under the cockpit in blood.
You can't stamp carbon fibre.
Stickers win.
-
I think I like this...dunno if repost.
-
that would be real fun on a hot day.
Ok. I might have to change the frame to laminated hair.
Pretty sure the chain will hold out fine.
Also for PC reason's I'll change the sponsor to Pooma.
-
Hmm. Lovely wooden detail. How designer.
All this wood creativity in porn.
Got me thinking.
I might make a bike out of frozen bile.
With a chug nut chain.
I'm sure Livestrong will sponsor it.
Mmm.
-
ha brilliant. I'd love to see your 1metre long stem.
That must be one sweet machine.
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
-
Ok. Not for me, but...
If this had an aero seat post, the G3 on the front, the Corima disc on the rear, no brake, no red chain and drops, (basically NJS) it would be in porn.
But there's the trick, suddenly it looks like any other a generic factory team build.
That is why IMHO this shouldn't be in anti.
After all. It's no Koga.
;op
-
That Scattofisso is the best of the bunch. Blatantly.
-
Looking thro thread...
Looks like the manufacturers are trying to cash in on the movement.
Some ok colorways on retro builds. Nothing special.
Nobody's touching Benny ;o)
-
That is your opinion. Are you a model? Do people fight each other to be your friend? IMHO neither question actually matters but generally it's best to take a look at yourself before you go calling people names.
I'd argue that on the whole they're normal people and normal people generally aren't stunningly beautiful or riveting to be around.
'Take a look at yourself...'
Shit your right. I take it all back.
-
Fucking boring twat.
That's a little harsh.
What do you expect?
He tests footballs.
On that subject tho.
Why are pro cyclists so fucking ugly/boring?
-
Nice, I though(t) of doing this already, I´m pretty sure 14 provides anodising, I saw somewhere these same cranks in gold/champagne, if memory´s not failing.
Memory is online.
-
So, so nice, far better than the nasty 700c version with DC Shoes.....
Agree.
700cmx is like skating...on stilts.
Fail.
-
Mother of God.
The size of the chainring on that Panzerkampfwagen.
More importantly, that Benotto is possibly the prettiest track frame of all time.
-
Look at it properly. Rear-entry slot dropouts, like many modern TT frames. The Chub Hub is making the whole bike anti, but the dropouts are fine.
OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Look at it properly.
Speaking of which, are those aerospokes on your avatar?
-
I'm sorry but what the fuck?
I think Radial lacing sucks on all fixie wheels. I just said any hub can be laced radially. Not that you should want to.
I didn't give poor advice on that frame design, it was opinion and a suggestion, nothing more or less then that. You just didn't agree.
And Chubs are rubbish. The flange is too high, forces spokes to go through to big-a-deflection, reducing the wheels strength. And, because of the height of the flange on most rims that such a hub gets laced on to you can't do more then a 2 cross. And all that for a sizeable amount of money. And they look shit, and the strength of the flange and quality of the bearings isn't as good as other top end track hubs.
Agree.
Get that big flange out of my face.
