a friend bought one and he should have known betterer, though when he came home with it I rolled my eyes...
If you change anything first change the goddamned brake cables ok? He had to stop hard...and low and behold, the nipples broke ...at once....and he had to bail.
People can try to defend them but hey, why defend that shit? I'm not a snob, I don't mind cheap, if cheap isn't bloody dangerous, and they are hugely dangerous, and if you do anything other than 'tootle' about on them then they are death traps.
please be careful.
