I'm looking to get a new frame, and have a few questions:
- When people talk about Chinese frames it's invariably the FM066sl. Is this purely because it is the lightest frame? Or does it have a tried and tested track record? Or a good blend between comfort and aggressiveness?
- Is it safe to say that all frames of a same model number are being made at the same factory and just sold through various outlets? Or do Dengfu, Hongfu and others manufacture their own using identical molds?
- Bar the minimal description on the manufacturer's web site, is there a site that describes in a bit more detail the difference of each frame? I must say I am a little intrigued by some of the more aero frames, but don't want to end up with a tri-bike.
There are threads already on this, please find the appropriate thread.
