Title: Full Suspension Chinese Carbon 29er - Under $2,000 USD
Post by: Carbon_Dude on June 14, 2014, 12:36:08 PM

First time I've seen this.  A complete Carbon 29er out of China/Taiwan for less than $2.000 shipped.  XT level build, DT Swiss suspension components.  Seems like a really good deal.

Looks nice to me.

Where did you get under 2k from, though? Looks like 3k without shipping to me, and cheaper when you buy in bulk. 2k shipped would be a ridiculous deal for a full suspension carbon bike with xt brakes, and drivetrain and dt swiss fork and wheels. 3k is still a good deal BUT I guess the obvious thing to do would be to start a group buy....

The OP on MTBR posted that he contacted the seller and was given a quote of $2,000 shipped.  Out of curiosity, I sent the vendor an email requesting a quote for 1 unit, shipped to the US.  I will post if I get a reply.

That's why I usually just skip messing with Alibaba. Hard to tell which sellers are good and which ones suck. I ordered a sizable amount of moneys worth of kiosks from them about 3 years ago.. Was not the best buying experience. Maybe I just had bad luck, not sure, but I don't plan on buying through that website anytime soon.

2k would be a really good deal though, I'm like SN I tend to think that it's probably more than that.
