FM 169 (R8) Hongfu - 2016 frame

[SkippiTT]

No it isn't. I'm also looking to buy one of the newer frames. The workswell has a completely different seattube (and geo). Still waiting on some real product pictures of the workswell (I mailed them).

There are a lot more detailed pictures here:

Looks quite nice (apart from the red paint)

That is super close to the Merida Reacto, you can buy a complete Reacto decent specs for ok money, check Merida pricing out.

I built chinese two years ago, now I just went with a production bike.

Geo is exactly the same than AEROAD from Canyon.
I think its a blend of the Aeroad Geo and REACTO style.

Would be sweet to see a disc thru axle model like the new model from workswell. Does anyone know what bb options there are?

the headset:$15

I also found mention of a 1160+-40g weight on Alibaba.

Although it is a new frame, are there any ride or build reports out there about the FM169? I'm riding a Dengfu 098 since early 2012, and thinking about a new aero frame.

I would buy one of these in a second if it had a normal rear brake. Don't want to experiment with finding a brake that will clear a Stages.

Let me know if you find a light aero frame. I like the 066 but I think if you find a light aero frame you can take advantage of it at higher speeds.

I just order one as well and am running di2 and will let u know how easy or difficult the build is/was.... Looks pretty cool, but we all know form over function can be a joke show with bikes

Hey Guys, I just recv'd my frame from Hongfu. Out of the box its actually a great deal nicer than the pics, great finishing which can be lacking of course with china carbon. I'll start the build this week. I put my HED stingers and Ardennes on the front and rear. the frame has great clearance for 25/28c tyres so you know

I bought a couple of AVENGER R8 frames already.
The quality is awesome and the painting really nice.

Attached a pictures of the 50cm frame in black/black.









Here the blue frame:

Wow, they've stepped up their game. Shame about the brake placement.

Saw earlier that Hongfu said they can't ship to the UK. A bit strange as I was contacted by them having bought a TM6 before, and recently got a FM069. Not sure why the problem as I am in Scotland.

This frame looks sharp! Anyone else have any first hand experience with the build and ride?
