Dengfu R01: Review with CT Analysis of Lightweight Road Frame

The reviewer shares his 4-5 year experience with the Dengfu R01 Ultralight frame, covering the ordering process, a detailed physical inspection, weight measurement, and a CT scan analysis of the carbon layup and potential voids.

AI Summary

Pros

Good price ($550 for frame set, $619 total with shipping/fees)
Flawless and fast email communication with the seller
Quick shipping (about 1.5 weeks to Europe)

Cons

Bottle cage nut corroded and became stuck in the frame, a minor complication
Bottom bracket is BB30, which requires adapters for Shimano's 24mm axle, which the reviewer finds not ideal and would prefer BB86
The reviewer states the stiffness is 'not that great' due to the BB30 design

Key Points

Frame ordered in September 2017
Ridden for roughly 25,000 km over 4-5 years
Raw carbon matte finish, no custom paint
