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

Does anyone have a link for radar ev in the pitch (not path) lens style?

Has anyone had any experience with this ebay frame and this taobao other one? This seems too good for all the eyelets and mounts so what's the catch or is it just unbranded?

Does anyone have any experince of the Hylix seatpost on ebay?

Hello,

Any opinions on the quick releases to go for? Or should I just splash out and get some Hope ones?

Cheers.

Slightly more expensive than other carbon seatposts but with a new screw on the cradle

Is there a particular brand that's sold on AliExpress that is trusted or shows decent quality? I'd like to get a carbon stem/bar/post to shave a few grammes off my track bike and the orient is a cheap solution. Currently looking at Temani as I've got a saddle made by them and it's decent, just wondering if there's others I should know about.

Still got this?
I'll take it if it's still on offer

anyone got any of the cnc V-brakes from china?

No sorry , though I have an xl on the way so may sell if it doesn't fit ..

Any recommendations for lights? Gf wants some and is skint

Any Rapha reps/clones of the City lineup anywhere?

Really don't get the whole buying fake clothing thing

Agreed. And surely the whole point in buying something decent quality is that it'll last a long time? I reckon I rotate the same 5/6 jerseys every single week...if they were cheap replicas I'd have to buy a new set every 6 months.

Saying that, if there was a cheap Cipollini muscle skinsuit going for comedy TT's, I'd get one in a heartbeat.

I tear through these garments quickly and don't want to pay premium because cheap ass.

And how long do you think lower quality knockoffs will last? False economy.

I've bought the gaciron 400 lumens model, bright and the battery is actually replaceable.

Dunno, will have to do a trial run with them to say for sure. But that's saying that those knock Raphas are in lower quality...which they probably are at 15 quid a piece.

In the sentiment of false economy this whole thread should not really exist.

Not sure if its what your looking for but these are OK for a tenner or so.

Nice one, just placed an order. Almost looks too good to be true for the price

Don't get a cheap carbon stem or handlebars for a track bike. They will be way too flexy.

Ok I'm convinced. Putting zipp sl kit on the xmas list then.

Any links to some good looking socks?

Can't upload more than one pic using my phone, so here's just the claimed 400 lumens mode
