Oops, sorry about that. I guess the links didn't work. I've updated the post and hopefully the pictures will display properly now.
UPDATED TO FIX PICTURES Here are the weights of the bolt-on rear and front through axles that came with my 696. Clear view of the specs for the front one. The rear one reads: 171mm M12*P1.5*L16. At these weights, I…
UPDATED TO FIX PICTURES Overdue on pictures of frame. Ordered on September 5th, delivered on October 23rd or so. Was told it would be 3 weeks from ordering to shipping, ended up being 4 because of week-long holiday and…

My 696 frame was released from customs in San Francisco yesterday. It must've been on the literal slow boat from China as it was nearly two weeks since it was released from customs in Ghuangzou. Anyway, USPS tells me it…
For people who have received framesets via EMS shipping, did you continue to get tracking updates once the frame left China and reached your country? My last tracking update was on October 11 and says the package…

Thanks, Clyde. Pablo, I ordered mine on September 5. I was told it would be ready to ship in about 3 weeks. I checked in after 3 weeks and was told it was being painted but because of the holiday it wouldn't be sent out…
Carbonda is back up and running after the holiday. Received this picture of my completed 696 frameset overnight and hopefully it will ship within the next day or so.
Checked in with Adam in the middle of last week about the status of my 696 order. He had said it would be about 3 weeks until it shipped, and I contacted him exactly 3 weeks after ordering. He said my frame was being…

It's not listed on their website yet. Here it is on alibaba: https://carbonda.en.alibaba.com/product/60752923137-803724038/2018_OEM_High_quality_gravel_plus_bike_frameset_max_tire_700c_50mm_650B_2_1_frameset.html
Frameset ordered. Size 58, BSA. Even got an unexplained $10 discount vs. the quote. Decided I'd order the headset and axles, mainly because I think it will make finding immediate replacements easier. Asked for a…

Is ICAN related to Yishun? Cause this bike looks identical to Yishun's G010-D (https://www.yishunbike.com/gravel-bike-frame-with-disc-brake-carbon-bicycle-frame-g010-d_p47.html), right down to the seemingly erroneous…
This is something I have been investigating/struggling with lately as well as I've been trying to figure out a wheel choice for a build I am just beginning. So for max aero benefit, you would basically have to choose a…
I've just started the process of ordering a CFR696. Plan is to build it up with Ultegra 8020. I've gotten myself all wrapped around the axle (forgive the pun) trying to think through wheel options; need to start a new…
