Cheap road bikes on ebay tonight. About 5 of them with up to 20 bids. Almost no details on the spec.
Are these decent? Who is brave enough to buy them?
Looks like a complete bike 6.8kg
Currently at under 200 pounds

Some/most of the Chinese frames have been used by people for years - do a search on Hongfu frames. Quite a few pop up in Your Road Bikes on here.
Absolutely no reason why, if you do your research and get one from someone who has a good rep (eg Carbonzone) you shouldn't get years of fun out of it.
Expect much brand snobbishness though. Oodles of it.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

I'd be happy to buy that IF it's a whole bike as pictured. That Epicon fork is worth the current price. I suspect that it's frame onlyMy blog: http://www.roubaixcycling.cc (kit reviews and other musings)

Depends on how much the guy selling it puts on the customs declaration - I asked the guys who sent me my wheels to put "nil value, commercial sample" on it .......Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am
