"Chat is this real": I don't understand Alibaba but apparently a bike here sold at 700 US$ is sold at 30 US$, anyone can confirm/reccomend factories? (hexbear.net)

Don't cheap out on bikes. There are some great deals to be had for great frames and components on AliExpress, but the deals are more akin to finding a carbon fiber frame that would go for $1500+ in the US, being sold for $700 or so (last I checked). There is no bike, new, fully equipped for $30 that you could pay me any amount of money to ride. It sounds like a death trap.
