Alibaba's finest...
Discussion
These have appeared in my apartment building's bike room, clearly direct from China. I can ask my neighbours for the details if anyone else fancies one, I think I need one though. I'm not sure what I like most though, is it the rolls of extra gear cable, the wheels (flexy, weak and heavy all at once?) the frame design at the headtube, the quality of welding, the Jaguar leaper or the fact the brand is mis-spelt on the headtube
I'm assuming these cost about $45 and are worth their weight in scrap metal but I still don't think I'd be tempted. They are possibly the blingiest bikes I've ever seen though, GVA and your golden Teammachine eat your heart out

WTF is with that head tube design.
With that welding I wouldn't want to bump of a kerb never mind any off road use.
The headtube is amazing, it's like someone said 'how can we change a design which has worked totally fine for decades, and find a way to make it heavier, less rigid, and look like a two wheeled version of Quasimodo.With that welding I wouldn't want to bump of a kerb never mind any off road use.
The wheels would be my biggest concern if attempting any off road use to be honest, I'm pretty sure they're plastic, and the gravel would probably ruin the shiny gold stickers.

Excuse me?
Surely a folding (collapsing) Hummer would be better?

In fairness to them, they have left the packaging on a spoke. It would look completely different without it.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/26-x17-inch-alumin...

Can you imagine how long these things would actually last? I can't imagine either the road bike or MTB making it past the first mile without a rattle, creak or something escaping from it.

Only one way to find out, we should all chip in a tenner and buy the roadbike, it could be passed from PH'er to PH'er, the only stipulation is you have to use it in your next sportive or race Gassing Station | Pedal Powered | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
