The default finish is just the colour of the carbon fibre. Rob said early in the thread he could see the fibre weave in some places, so on that note I ordered the frame painted matte black.
How did you look for it. I just googled "dengfu e10 frame" and it came up no problem. So try that. I have not had much luck finding it on the dengfu search page but always showed up as above.
Went out front to bring the bins in. And this box was sitting on my door step. No indication that it had been delivered or about to be. Just sitting there. So glad I live in a very quiet street. Nice looking bit of kit. Ordered with the frame on the 22jan. No frame or battery yet. I don't mind...
Not old, only 63 ?. The wheels are mostly an experiment. At $669 aus at the front door I thought why not. They are 35mm external 29mm internal between the clinch.
Well my chinese carbon wheels have arrived. 29 and 27.5. I have no idea what I have purchased. The rim shape is odd. Nice curve one side then steep the other. They are described as asymmetrical clincher mtb wheels. I also don't know what the brake set up is. I'm old school so this set up is new...

Parts are coming in dribbs and drabbs. Forks came today that raised the question does the E10 frame come with a head set? I'm guessing not. So no idea what to get, any advice please. Also I thought as I was going the so called cheap Chinese rout I would try carbon fibre wheels aswell. I shall...
Just need to ask. I am 5'7" or 1.7mtr tall. I have ordered the 17.5" E10 frame. I based the order in one and one only parameter. Reach. According to dialed in riding my ideal reach should be 430mm. So now I'm worried that I have ordered to small. The reach is ok for me, in fact bigger reach is...
