Since the onslaught of direct B2C Chinese bike frame manufacturers took off, one brand has consistently featured in the comments on the Hambini YouTube Channel: Velobuild. Velobuild frames look very similar to those made by Pinarello. The frame reviewed in this article and on youtube had a striking resemblance to a Dogma F. Shortly after purchase, Velobuild got in touch and explained the requested colour was not available and they offered silver instead. This was accepted. The packaging was functional; the items had not been damaged in transit.

Alongside the used bikes and official bike shop listings, there are a huge number of very cheap, unbranded carbon alternatives, often from China. For the road cyclist looking for a unique bike and who is not concerned with brand names and logos, building up one of these frames with the finishing kit and groupset of choice is a very tempting prospect. But if the price seems too good to be true, can we trust these frames? Have they gone through the same stringent testing procedures as named brands? They can pay for the mould cost and so their retail prices are higher. One of the primary concerns among UK cyclists when considering buying a frame online from China is the lack of warranty offered. One UK bike importer we spoke to, who wished to remain nameless, raised serious concerns about the number of frame failures they had witnessed in Chinese carbon products. Mei, however, assures us that his frames — made from high-tensile Toray and aerospace grade and carbon-fibre — meet the relevant EN European standards for sales in the UK. Neil Ball of UK carbon repair specialist Carbon Bike Technics has a theory as to why reported instances of frame failures are uncommon.
