anyone had any experience or recommendations of a reasonably priced frame ? or should i stay well clear ?

ta

I’ve got a Deng Fu road bike, which is excellent. They do a range of hardtails depending on what you’re after; 27.5, 29er, fat etc.

Not a frame, but the two sets of ICAN carbon wheels have been faultless and well made. Responsive to questions and updates on the order.

Based on that I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a frame from them…

I raced, Audaxed and crashed a Flyxii road bike for around 11000 miles without issue. Quality finish and built up really nice.

Sobato bikes hardtail here – excellent. Would highly recommend.

+1 here too for my Flyxii 29er…… been 3 years now and has been faultless….. i’ll be selling the frame for £99 when my new bike arrives 😉

I’ve a carbon xc 29er from ICAN and it’s been great. Had it nearly 2 years and it’s been faultless.

The only weird thing is the headset race they require.
