Buying Whole Bike from China

[MikeF]

I just like cipolini frames..so you can understand what i am looking for...thanks for the info and reply. I am 76kg and they told me they did tests on the frame with 200kg. Is that true? I dont know.. I ordered the frame(and wheels from farsport). I feel like i have gambled 1200euros in a casino..now lets wait and see what the outcome will be..I will post when i get them if you guys are interested

We are interested and also in the total cost of the bike, especially one that might come without a guarantee.

I owned a shop, for a while. Not a bike shop.

I got into importing things from China to sell. Musical instruments, mostly.

Out of about 20 units:

3 would be unplayable.
12 would be OK,
4 would be good,
and 1 would be exceptional.

This was surprisingly accurate. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same with bike frames.

Chibson getting better by the day.

Gibson going bust (ish)

Those new lightweight Gibson Les Pauls are rotten !!

You'd better believe it! A lot of modern Martin and Gibson stuff has dreadful QC issues.
