Unbranded CF frames start at about $300 on e-bay and come in all sizes for road bikes and 26" wheel MTBs. I built a road bike and a MTB with ebay frames and have been very pleased with the results. I researched these, and it appears those who ride much harder than I do have been pleased with them also. Next, I'd like to build a kind of a comfort bike with one of these based on a generic CF 29er frame, but after searching through 16 pages of listings on e-bay there is NO affordable CF 29er type frame to be found.

Any leads or any known eta?

Before telling me you can build a good bike without using CF, I will tell you that I already know that -- I just have a bug up my ass. Also, I get a lot of compliments on the two CF bikes I have already built. Also, I know I could buy a nice bike used, but I very much enjoy piecing my own stuff together. In any case, there probably isn't a bike on the planet where I wouldn't want to change something to suit my taste so best to build my own.
