    Hi all,

    Yep its still rolling along quite nicely thankyou. THe SRam Rivals been shifting great, ive had no frame issues, the paints ok too. Its done well, over 2250 miles and its just fine.
    Infact its been such a shit year personally i thought i`de treat myself to a Chineese take-away again.

    I ordered/bought some carbon deep rims!! 😀

    Yep, to yet again annoy those who think im mad, they arrived within 16 days. :B

    They are light, well made and they are (British cycling) round…… 😕

    Ive also converted to conti gp4000s` and so far they`ve been great.

    And here it is in all its Eastern beauty

    Heres the link for the wheels.

    I wont give you the frame link as they now have the 2013 frame! its on dhgate if you want a look.

    As for the decals, same as the frame, if anyone asks i tell them the truth!!

    i think it looks great! In the end all that matters is i ride it and enjoy doing it. As ive said, i go to work and earn it! Im not trying to kid anyone. Have a look on bike radar, theres an S-works Venge thats a Chinese copy thats been built up, its in the “my road bikes” forum.

    yes i think road.cc in their hearts would love to do this.

    @wheelz your a top man for documenting everything. on several occasions whilst on the ciders i have hovered over the buy it now button for one of these frame sets

    im sure it will happen…..

    If Road.cc want to do an article on my Chinarillo ive no problem with it!

    In fact me and fisherman have spoke on this very subject, it might put a few misconceptions to bed!!

    In fact if magazines want to try as well, be my guess.

    They have my contact details.

    Raleigh +1. It’d be great to see comparisons with genuine Boras for example. Can’t you let Road.cc have it for a day, just for curiousity’s sake?!

    being wheelz
    being wheelz “technical/engineering consultant” in this build i can honestly say it has gone together as well as anything we have built with normal propriety components.

    and whats more it look even better in the flesh. Trouble is now all i’m going to see is the rear end disappearing up the road.

    Hi,
    The total cost is now
    Hi,
    The total cost is now at;

    Frame Chinarillo Dogma £380
    Groupset Sram Rival £490
    Saddle Pinarillo/Most £35
    Stem Deda £30
    Handlebars FSA £25
    Pedals Shimano £25
    Wheels Chineese Carbon Boras £380
    Tyres Conti gp4000s £55
    Bottle cages £5
    Bar tape £5
    Total £1430.

    It weighs in at 16.2 lbs with pedals.

    For those that are interested i got the frame & wheels from DHgate. The frame came from Chinesswalton, wheels from Joshan1923, they are the same company just different compartments. Easy to deal with and never had a problem.

    I know some of you dont agree with what im doing, but its my hard earned money and i can spend it where i like. I do spend a lot of money at several local bike shopsa as well, i own a Giant anthem X1 & a Kinesis XC2 built from bits all of which i bought at a LBS or Ebay of local riders.

    Would i buy another Chinarillo? Yep, all day long. 😀
