Orient Express - Cheap Chinese Rims / Wheels / Forks / Frames / Cranks / Etc

Damm, thats clever.

welding looks crap though

Good insulator too so will stop the heat from disc brakes building up in the bars and melting the stem ...

(stretching...)

I actually could do with a stem if there are some good steep angle links out there? 17ish probably?

Kalloy Uno?

Good shout

What size do you need? @hp93 bought one and stripped the logos off it, then used it once. Think its a 120mm

Its 110mm, will hold onto it fe a bit though as a new shorter frame mighg be on the books!

110mm would have been great. Let me know if you change your mind

Anyone have a recommened seller on alixepress for Kalloy stems? Can't find any UK sellers on ebay.

This is where i bought mine from, dont think it took too long to arrive.

No, but the consensus seems to be 'flexy as fuck'.

Fewer parts to fail and maim you though.

Bar and stem isn't somewhere I'd be willing to gamble. At least with Ritchey, Deda, Zipp etc my family could take the manufacturer/brand to court.

Okay cheers for the heads up. Don't want to die.

wouldnt put any ebay carbon bits on the steering interface

..but yeah, wasnt it someone on road.cc or somewhere who broke his collarbone via broken ebay bottle cage

Bottle cage? How does that happen?

Probably dumped the bottle under his backwheel, bucking him off...

ahh okay. Makes sense.
