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

I think I’m going to build a pinarello copy for summer. Always wanted a white one but not sold a kidney yet.

Are most aliexpress okay frames @amey

With sky stickers?

hugely intrigued too. i guess they are just painted to look like s-works

nah, no chance, they are all copies, specialized are made by merida in Taiwan.

same factory as the spesh bikes, someone put a few aside off the production line?

I doubt if any OEM would risk doing that.

or carbonda/hong fu/etc painted to look like a s-works?

Most likely

cool. they have good painting skills!

The paint is actually way off from the legit Specialized paint schemes.

Says who? I mean, what do you know about paint anyway?

Nope just a white pinarello.

That's the beauty of it.

That looks good!

Ladies and gents, I'll be ordering my carbon rims to replace my tarck rims and road rims, going wider and less aero due to the silly wind we are currently having in this country.

If people are still interested please let me know as I'll be placing the order at the end of the week, @LeePaton @motoko @jzk @pjhobs and anyone else, if not that's alright too.

Many thanks.

@HoKe
