I have had a ride on one bought from China and also seen one from Taiwan, the are decent frames and not the cheap quality i would expect
They are pretty cheap, but most just come frame and forks, some come with bars aswell
I contacted a seller who offered me, frame, fork, bars and wheels for $1199 including shipping, so thats like £730, not bad, but then add on everything else you have to get and your going to still be over £1000, so save a little extra and get a decent carbon bike from a retailer you know
