I am thinking i will be ordering an FM028 60cm from http://dengfu.en.alibaba.com/.

The frame/fork combo was quoted to me at $360 (+80 shipping)

What else did you folks order from their website before checking out? The site is a bit hard to navigate, but did you source your additional parts (BB, headset, spacers, bars, stem etc) locally or right on their site?.

I hope to complete a build for under $1500 with SRAM apex (or next group up). I have surgery in 2 weeks, so i will have lots of time to investigate and search for parts/deals

Any other information for a chinabike newbie would be very much apreciated... i have read the stickies, and look forward to having a less common billboard bike

Has this bike been stiff enough for you guys/gals? I would assume most people needing a 60cm bike would be a larger individual, and for us stiffness can be a premium.

Since there is a debate regarding trust worthy sellers from China...please stay away from seller with following stores/nicknames:
- HK FeiFan Trading Limited
- Joshan900101
- chinesswalton

He sells counterfreight frames, handlebars, wheels, etc. I bought frameset & handlebar from him and the quality is terrible. Diameter of the handlebar was different on both sides, paint finish was even wors and after 170 miles on the bike which my LBS shop hardly assembled (grindinh bearing bed to fit in, cnc BB for new threads since in the original threads the ultegra BB did not fit, etc.) my rear chainstay snappen which result in a crash.
I contact him and after 14 days of constant messages and e-mail I received following feedback..."I sold you ok frame. If you want you can order another one. Frames don't have warranty"
It,s crazy since they advertize 2 year warranty. I replied within minutes and stressed theis "so called warranty policy"
Reply which I received back after 3 days without any hello or something and I qoute "NO WARANTY FOR CHINA CARBON"

According to above I would reccomend to buy from reputable sellers which are mentioned in this forum and don't go sideways with garage sellers who are evidently well aware that they live in other continent where no morale or business manners and end user concern are present!
