[Closed] PSA cheap gravel rolling chassis

Very tempted by this, but there's very little in the way of reviews or any real world experience.

Not convinced it's a bargain if it's a brand that no one has ever heard of before

steerer tube looks a little short to me 😉

Yeah but,like ,it's called SHARK ..

I am in 😉

That’s, umm, VERY yellow 😳

15mm axles f&r too, so, uh, versatile...

Sizing guide. Your usual road bike has a 510mm top tube with a 110mm stem, you would need a Small Traverse with a 90mm stem.

Ok?

Haha! 🙂

Shark frames are sold by Velochampion. No idea what their relationship is (dealer, distributor, brand owner, etc.) but this might help you find out a bit more about them. Sold there as a CX frame.

Reading the Sunday supplements yesterday I noticed you could get a gents and ladies bike for £199. That's got to be worth a PSA.

This weekend I have been looking at the other, roadie frame they've got on ebay, which is 99% probably a Hong Fu FM169 (R8 Avenger). Look on Hong Fu to see if the CX one looks familiar to do a bit of research

Wheel weight seems too good to be true. Be interested if anyone gets a set.

Has anyone stumbled across a frame and / or fork weight?

Yeah, I went with my better judgement and stuck with the tank (CdA) for a bit longer. Going to change the gearing on it and swap the tyres for something lighter/better.
