Was my cheap, Chinese, Carbon Fibre bike from AliExpress worth it?

The reviewer discusses their experience with the TRIFOX Full Carbon Fiber Road Bike Frame (model X16TA) purchased from AliExpress for Β£430 including shipping. They highlight that the frame is designed for disc brakes with thru-axle fittings (also available in a QR variant) and comes with a seat post, fork, and all necessary headset bearings. The reviewer mentions initial issues with cable routing holes being at right angles rather than angled, which they fixed by filing. They also note a proprietary seat post design that might complicate replacements. Despite these minor issues, the frame has performed well over 3,000 miles, including long-distance rides.
