hello, I'm a new member here.

I have a question for the bike industry professionals, but I haven't found a specific forum for this.

Does anoyne have the experience of sourcing cycling products in Asia? We prepare a kickstarter bicycle project and we need to find a trustable bike factory or manufacturer. Not pnly doing parts and components, but also assembly and shipping for us.

I sent many emails to the factories but ZERO answer maybe they just don't read ENglish. Now the project is getting in a rush and am thinking to go through a consultant like this one: http://www.cycle-export.com

Does anyone have experience directly working with factories (of you have connections it's even better) and/or going through agents like that? Hoping they are not too greedy, what's the typical rate for such service ? Any feedback appreciated.
