:crap: Dunno, but I've seen there cheap a$$ H-bars come into the store pretending to be Cinelli Rams. I've seen there wheels and Frames sold on Ebay. They look like "LEADER" but with a sexy name.

It's all crap. :crap:

Most people that are not serious are under the assumption that they can say how much a bike is, and it is that much. I worked in a shop for a bit that sold Trek, and a lady came in. I forget the conversation, but it was "blah, blah, blah, my bike is $6000, blah, blah, blah...." It was an Ultegra equipped 5200. They never cost $6000.

Whatever.

Actually, I was looking for a fixed/SS road bike for cheap until I can buy my next Serotta (which will be a Fixie/SS) and was searching MTBR.com, under their "road Bike" Classifieds.

Some guy had a Stock 2005 Specialized Langster ($550 retail) in 56cm and was listing it for $1200! I emailed him that I liked the fact that he had Balls (Too Tall, read: chutzpah, for you and I). That I knew what they retail for and he was insane listing it for that much

He emailed me back to see if I wanted it! He said it was a good bike and worth every dollar! What a freak. It's probably still there, let me look....

This is a Yogi Berra moment...like de ja vu all over again. Didn't we have a thread on this Tiwanese Carbon put your name on em' bikes before? A local race team owner has a bike I'm 99% certain is the same and he gets them for less than 1k F&F....they look like carp.

Cool low rider...you must admit...come on you want to ride it as much as I do...come on ;)

You'd have to put me on THE RACK and stretch me to TWICE my length to reach the bars and pedals! It's all yours Too Tall.

they've been flooding ebay with their stuff for a while

sell on ebay at wholesale (below dealer cost)...they say they're trying to build a dealer network...but...well...dunno

doof was curious about them when he noticed all the ebay dumping (but not curious about buying anything), and had some contact....

they're all right guys, doof still can't figure out if they make their own crap (they do make *some* of their own crap)...but the frames are worth exactly what you pay for on ebay...take that as you will

there are better low-cost options if you want a cheap good bike, rather than just a cheap bike
