Is something weird going on with the spoke lacing on those wheels, something doesn't look right to me?

They are only $262 with free shipping to Oz!ldrcycles wrote:Good god, rod brakes and westwood rims on a newly manufactured machine . I'd be tempted if the quality wasn't so horrific.

I am currently waiting on a fairly ugly $83 folding mountain bike I purchased on aliexpress and will report back on the quality, etc when it arrives:

I like those wheels. Been thinking of blinging up the wheelbarrow...Dan wrote:Added to that, you need to pay a forty gazillion dollar fine for posting a picture of teny wheels. Or are they teny rip offs? What has the world come to?

The low cost could also be a result of Chinese Government subsidies. Also individual sales like mine give people a taste so they might be inclined to make bulk orders of products.jasonc wrote:when or if?mddawson wrote:I am currently waiting on a fairly ugly $83 folding mountain bike I purchased on aliexpress and will report back on the quality, etc when it arrives:

Awwwww.... There are *some* nice Tri-specific bikes out there. And it's hard to be pretty with Tri geometry - although in the case of this bike they really didn't make an effort.Duck! wrote:Which further validates its existence in this thread.twizzle wrote:That's a Tri bike, not a TT bike.
