If so are they any good? Any concerns?
No one's been tempted by the lure of cheap chinese carbon?
Reasonable looking feedback....
Maybe worth a punt 😆
Njee20 to the forum!
Dunno my m8 bought a Ti chinese mtb frame and according to this place he should have died.. it's working fine and he believe it to be as good as his Merlin Ti.
Some mentions made:

I've got carbonzone front 50mm carbon racing wheel, cheap and a good bit of kit, in fact just ordered another for Mrs Kilo, so no reason to doubt they can't make a mtb frame as well as road and TT - it's not as if all the other carbon frames are being lovingly created in the UK. This sort of stuff has been covered a lot on bikeradar so may be more info there.
Carbonzone are quick to deal with queiries and ship goods too.
Is that a 71 degree headangle? crikey!
Comes to almost £300 with postage, so I'd pony up the extra £120ish for an On One Whippet or 456 if it were me.
It just looks like an On One, but loads nicer.
What about this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Full-Carbon-Mountain-Bike-MTB-18-Frame-Headset-/370506687565?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item5643eb644d
£200ish.
Crikey that is cheap!!!! Will check the other threads too
My mate did. He tried telling everyone it was a prototype and he had it custom made to his specifications because he was going to start a bike company 😆 😆 😆
Dodgy, they claim to make "carbon fibre tires"
Was it any good?
He hasn't build it up yet, it looks alright though I must say.
Sounds alright too
if you do enough searching you will find all the companies that make UK niche brand frames. For example i have the contacts for the guys who make the Pipedream Ti Frames, they work out about £450 delivered.
Who do you think make on ones carbon frames, the yanks?
