Welcome onboard, fun to have you here! "Any bike is better than no bike." Today's wisdom! Me myself ride a really cheap 29:er made from entry-level parts and a Chinese frame, but i love it and I love the woods and I love the asphalt, and that's what counts!
Okay .... there is a rule around here about talking about your bike and not showing it .... Also, when you say Chinese frame .... I guess now frames are made of steel, aluminum, titanium, carbon fiber, and Chinese? I am interested because I own a couple Chinese CF bikes (Workswell) and was reading about a guy considering a Chinese Ti frame. What have you got? Where is the build sheet? Where are the pics? Further ---- it is possible we have had this conversation and I forgot it,.. That's one of the bonuses of being old---every day it can be a brand new world! Downside is you can get lost in your own neighborhood. Oh, well.
