Hong Fu: Carbon bars buy.

bcmf

Inspired by this post from Brian? in the broomwagon:

"I'm seriously considering a purchase of these:

http://www.hongfu-bikes.com/html_products/Road-Handlebar-236.html

Rode a bike for and few months that had the real FSA ones on it and really liked the shape. I'm too much of a cheap skate to buy the real ones. Hongfu get great reviews for their various bits.

Anyone else interested? They're about $60 each bought alone but I'd say we could knock a few quid off with a bulk buy.

Minimal customs implications at that price."





I pm'd Brian? as was interested in the bars, as I would be getting a new set of forks from Hong Fu anyway, and as he has some personal stuff going on so I aggreed to set up a thread.
I have emailed Hong Fu looking for a price for 5 bars (and my forks).
I cant imagine a huge discount for 5 but the saving will be made on shipping costs.
Needless to say I would pay extra shipping costs because of the forks as well as the bars.
Customs cost ,of course, will need t be paid.
SO... anyone else interested once a price is confirmed.

Hatcho

Yup, count me in for a set of the carbon bars. Just what I've been looking for! :-)

BUACHAILL

Yes I could be interested alright !

I'd be interested, maybe in a seatpost and stem too

bcmf

Ok.
I have got a reply from Hong Fu.

"thank you for your email to Jenny,she is out of work now.

this is Vivian.
the sample price is:

HF HB003: $60*5=$300(400mm);

HF FO001: $65(3K/12K/UD);

ship cost: $80(EMS);

4% charge for paypal;

so total: $300+$65+$80=$445*1.04=$462.8;

our paypal: cobychao@sohu.com

please tell me which kind finish of the fork, the handlebar and fork are in stock now ,can ship out in 3 days after payment."

Will need to double check that email but as it be paid by PayPal our ass will be covered.
I have replied that the order may vary and will confirm the order in approx 10 -14 days.

I may be interested in a set, can you price up a saddle, and a few bottle cages aswell BCMF?

Sure. As I said when I have a near enough final number in say 10 -12 days I will get a final cost.
I don't imagine the shipping will increase in price as that seem to be the standard shipping price from them be it wheels,frames etc

Try that.Am posting from my phone so not sure if it will work.

lennymc

are they the hb003 bars or the hb005 integrated bars?

slow

I wouldn't touch carbon bars unless you intend not to use bar tape. Personally, if I got a gift of a pair, I'd return them.

Metal bends. Carbon cracks. And if it's hidden by bar tape, you don't see it. How many of you have had your bike knocked over by kids/wife/dog? They're not designed for side impact.

I've seen two broken carbon handlebars in the past 12 months. The first was a caused by a dog knocking the bike over. The second by overtightening the bolts on the stem. Both resulted in falls by the rider.

Right, you may have missed it but we've already had one series of posts deleted on these lines, i.e. someone coming in and offering unsolicited advice on buying carbon bars and dragging the thread off topic.

There's a time and a place for it and this isn't one. People here are trying to organise a group buy. They aren't asking for advice.

No material is immune from failure and alloy bars can and do snap as well. I'm pretty sure everyone looking to buy is well aware of this.

So let's knock this on the head.

Thank you

That is a sexy looking handlebar..so tempted

bcmf

OK.

Sorry my fone went dead earlier and I had no charger.

For those who are looking for stems and seatposts can you follow the link in post 1 and let me which model number you want so she can give me an exact price.


She told me that the bars only come in 3k weave and has a limited stock of 420 and 440 bars and in order to hold them I may need to put down a deposit of 30%.
Can you let me know if this applies to you.
