If something fails and you break your neck, there's no recourse.įor those of you giving me personal examples of how well your frameset has held up, thank you for taking the time. There is no consistent structural testing done of these frames. However, compared to established known bicycle manufacturers, it's still a crapshoot.

So, they probably have a reputation to uphold, so they're probably going to have better quality than some random ebay seller. So, after reading all these comments, here's my takeaway.Ĭurrently, there are now distributors that carry their own line of Chinese carbon frames. I'm not in the market myself, but I always try to get the lay of the land a few early on so that when I need to buy a frame/bike, I can just pull the trigger.

Thank you for your thoughtful replies everyone. Russian roulette.īut now it seems like there are distributors with their own line of Chinese carbon framesets, like these guys: Īre there any distributors or lines of reputable Chinese carbon frames that you would consider reputable and safe? Until recently, I was aware of only three types of Chinese carbon frames:įrames made for major manufacturers like Trek and Giant.
