  1. List of basic tools needed would be a good start
  2. And a lot of people were surprised to find out the forks are made in Taiwan????
  3. Yes and no. Can you imagine a frame/fork failing in the USA because of bad workmanship? The law suits would be huge. With the chinese there is no real recourse, you're on your own. The chinese make some nice looking frames and there lots of great reviews, but there is a but.......
  4. Are these standards the same as used by the major brands? And the testing certificate shown by the chinese, is it worth the paper; how do I know as a potential buyer that every frame adheres to the same standard as the tested frame?

  12. At least, according to above report, he is not trying to spin some fancy made-up story.....
  13. Wow, that is nice. Post another pic please in better lighting
  14. Hope you did not pick the mushroom for dinner????
  15. This means he does not cycle anymore and should forfeit his price????
  16. Aah, ok. Thanks. All the best for you there????????
  17. Where did you purchase the Rapha clothing?
  18. Planning to add them to my shopping list
  19. Any idea on prices and availability on these?
  20. They don't make them they used to........????
