Are AliEx/open mold carbon bikes common in your area?

i live in the bay area and honestly see a good amount of unbranded open mould, defo a handful everytime I go for a quick 20-50 mile ride. Then again the cycling community here is huge. I see lots and lots of high end bikeporn worthy s-works and boutique brands, I have also seen yoeleo, velobuild, etc etc

LA is the complete opposite. I'm in the heart of the city and go on a fair amount of group rides including road, gravel and social meets. I've also worked at a few bike events. In the past few years, I've only seen two non-western frames (a Seaboard gravel frame and Seka road bike) out of hundreds of bikes I've seen. It could also be the LA mentality of just trying to show-off!
