Re: Quachia frames.
They are/were a Chinese brand. They had a Facebook page but have not posted anything since 2015, so possibly no longer in business.

Re: Quachia frames.
Quite probably one of the many Chinese carbon frames made by countless factories from the same mould. Usually found on Aliexpress. Cheaper than the big names of course. Some people get a bit sniffy about this sort of thing but as long as you know what you are buying they can be fine for the money. Usual comment is that you will crash and burn d die a horrible death if you even think about something like this but my personal experience plus those of mates has all be positive. I would be looking for a rear mech hanger ASAP though as you can't go to the factory for one.
Re: Quachia frames.
Good call on the rear mech hanger.

Re: Quachia frames.
Many manufacturers use the same open moulds in factories which explains why so many Carbon frames look very similar.Quachia probably use the same moulds as Planet-X,Ribble etc so unless the CF used is of inferior quality I don't see why there should be any issue apart from badge snobbery!mattsccm wrote: ↑29 Apr 2021, 6:13am Quite probably one of the many Chinese carbon frames made by countless factories from the same mould.

RE the mech hanger.Chances are the frame uses exactly the same hanger as some 'branded' frames.You should be able to source one online.
Re: Quachia frames.
Found the one for my "Chinerello" on ebay easy enough. Same for my On One carbon CX bike
