This is a review of the Dengfu FM098 carbon road bike.
When i weighted the bike it was 6.9kg's with no saddle bag or bottles on.
The wheels frame and seat post are full carbon 50mm
This bike has now done 1000 miles with no problems, it looks like a well built bike and goes good.
Again if your going to buy a cheap carbon bike from china do your research first and make sure you are using a good supplier and manufacturer.
