Xi'an Ti Bikes - A no-brainer?

[Disgruntled Goat]

A new ti frame delivered for £279. Tell me why I shouldn't.

I have few qualms about build quality. It won't be a high spec frame but for the money, who care?

The only bugbear is the plain frame (get some decals made?)

and doing business with China - but how can you avoid it nowadays.

A chap on Another Cycling Forum did it - his impressions are here.

Yes, someone did it on C+ : have a look on BR and see if it's archived

Just took delivery of my crosser last weekend. $US800 including delivery plus some Ti bottle cages and a Ti stem. I was fully expecting to have pay duty as I'd had to pay for a groupo delivered from the US but not a whisper. Hoping to get it built up soon with my old DA g/set, Spesh carbon disc fork, Avid discs and a pair of Deore/DRC wheels. It won't be light but it will be cool!

Toomuchcake (I think) from C+ had a fixie built up, THAT was a thing of beauty!
