You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I'm currently investigating ideas on how to best build a new road bike and a frame direct from a Chinese supplier seemed like it may be worth investigation. Before diving in blind I thought it was worth asking which suppliers are generality considered good or at lease reputable?
If anyone can suggest companies or even give me links that would be brilliant.
i've had a frame and forks from Flyxii via Aliexpress, a year on it's still in one piece! communication was good and it took 6 days from order to delivery. cost £276 including delivery.

I've got an ICAN mtb 29er frame and it's working great.
Had good communication and service from them as well.

Both my MTB (2,400 miles) and Road bike (10,000 miles) are from Hong Fu with no issues yet. 🙂 [url= http://www.hongfu-bikes.com/ ]Hong Fu[/url]
Hong Fu are good, dealt with my warranty claim ok, despite taking ages. chinese new year now so they might not reply as quick

Loads of threads on here but the companies above keep cropping up and also Miracle are who I got mine from and they've been great even through a warranty issue.
