Nell Kirsten Posted April 1, 2015 Share I've found myself in a spot where I am able to import frames and bikes from mainland China at cheaper than normal shipping rates. I am a big activist for anti-fake bikes, so my willingness goes as far as to do only no name, unbranded carbon bikes and frames.The only brand names I will do is the Yoeleo wheel sets and registered trade companies like Yava bikes, BKR etc. Would anyone be interested in something like this? Shipping would be around R600 from there to here with a 5% charge on duty for complete bikes, 0% duty on frames and the normal RSA Vat charge. I will take a handling fee. I have done quite a bit of research on this topic and I can honestly not find any fault or dodgy manufacturing with the companies that I have dealt with RE the no name brand frames. I have personally ridden on some FM 206 and FM029's and they feel amazing.Go and look at some forums and youtube vids. Im still sceptical of riding a chinarello or a fake Trek, but just cause they take the piss of the companies doing the hard work. if you know you want to spend R40K+ on a bike, then I would advise going for the original... just a newbie looking for lightweight bike?... why not an unbranded one rather for half the price? Would anyone be interested? Yusuf29, Jorrie and SJ01 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mongoose! Posted April 3, 2015 Share So what prices are we looking at? Is it cheaper than aliexpress? http://www.aliexpress.com/ Really so easy to oder direct from them. And if Paypal is used for payment, the risk is almost zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
