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

Just found the email chain… here’s the discount we got:

And we shipped individually as it wasn’t really any benefit with all the hassle with collections and the minor save

only thing is the cable adjuster isn’t sized correctly

Nothing a dremel cant sort out!

This is correct. And actually because LB invoiced, collected payment and shipped to everyone individually I don't know how many of us eventually went through with purchases despite doing all the initial quotes and back and forth with them.

Quite a few people dropped out at the very last minute so I suspect there were only 7 or 8 of us in the end but LB honoured those group buy discounts.

Around the same time (I think) I did an EU group buy but piggybacked the bigger group prices. Only thing was they wanted to ship to one person (in this case, me) which was fine. Price was good.

Yeah I remember we were lucky that it was done that way because of the late pullouts.

Definitely recommend it that way for future purchases just in case.

I’m game for a pair of rims

I’m in for a pair of wheels!

question is who is going to arrange? my excuse; I am a dad.

my excuse; I am a teacher

So you finish work at 3pm and have 12 weeks holiday?

I'd be interested in 4 rims.

There's very little admin involved, literally someone has to set up a google sheet, set a deadline for people to populate it with specs, send it to LB to get them to price up and then set a deadline for people to confirm if they are going ahead. If LB now take payment individually it is even easier, when I did it I had to get the cash from everyone and then pay LB and that was where most of the leg work was.

If I needed some rims I'd do it again...

Last one I bought off they all went to one person and they were collected and shipped by that person which was decent of them.

Great

Has anybody had any good experiences with cheap Chinese on-bike luggage? Thinking half frame bag/saddle bag etc.

I just can't justify lovely but spendy UK-made stuff when my wife will probably use it twice ever.

Just caught up on all of this. I'm up for some LB rims. Do we have someone admin'ing yet? Google spreadsheet? I can do it if needed...just PM me emails and i can do a Google sheet and share. Or if someone else is doing it, I'll send you what I'm after. Lemme know.

The next person to ask this was deemed to be the admin owner
