IM looking for a disc semi aero frame. capable of 28mm tyres at least and If possible I would like integration of cables for the aesthetics.
Its going to be summer use only so maintenance shouldnt be too much of a problem.
Currently my favourite from companies I know of is this:

But there are likely options to consider so anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Carbonda make frames used by quite a few big and small brands, they look pretty decent
will give them a look, cheers
I have a Carbonda CFR 696 - aka PX Freeranger. Its not the frame you want [gravel] but I really enjoy it. TAke a look at their 515 aero road frame.
Following with interest. The Dengfu R06 disc and R12 disc frames are on my budget KoM sneaking "knife to a gunfight" watch list.
I have had frames from Yishin (and wheels) before with no issues at all.
So they are worth a look, im just checking options before I commit again...
Have a look at Cam Nicholl's YouTube channel. He's recently built up a Seka frame that looks pretty tidy - he has done various videos about the process.
I have a Carbonda FM936 – aka Vitus Rapide FS. Its not the frame you want [MTB] but I really enjoy it. Take a look at their 515 aero road frame.
Dengfu FM308 (AKA R04) here. 4years old, so probably not available any longer.
Fits 28 easy, 30 at a push (and 32 if you're riding an indoor velodrome!)
Has been great IMO and still riding it regularly outside of winter
I’ve just built up one of these:

Took a couple of months later to arrive than they first said, but I think that was mostly as it was their newest model. Pretty happy with it and the build quality and the communication from the company the whole way through. Think it would easily take 28c tyres.
Thanks people's, lots to research and think about 🤔
Will let you know the choice and update on the building process..
I love threads like this, they send me down an internet rabbit hole! I hadn't come across Carbonda before, the FM1001 looks really interesting as well.
Any pics of the Carbonda frames you guys have?
