Post by: Queen of Skulls on October 05, 2022, 07:07:01 PM
I just saw this frame on aliex for $236 USD...

Just posting incase someone might be interested in a older cheapo frame. For a cheapo dont worry so much about it build.

Its from the trst official which I think is the thrust clearance store. Or it could be a scam.  I am not sure. Use your judgement. And make a comment of what frame it is and if a scam or not. 

Here is the OG thrust store.

Looks legit. I usually layer my AliEx payments with multiple layers of protection and so far all my orders have worked out fine.

Interesting! Do you mind to elaborate on this?

If you're in the US, you can use PP and Amex as a double layer of protection on top of AliEx's shipping guarantee. Amex doesn't mess around and all it takes is one call to reverse a charge on a bad sale. PP also sides with the buyer almost all the time and they have various ways to slush your purchase either in an interest free payment plan or using PP credit which is also interest free for 6 months.

I would like to have 2 builds I have like half the stuff. But I was going to save that for a 218. I am wonder what the cost of the cheapest a half way ok group would be.


Edit AND I just found out why it was 236. Max tire is 23c. Eww no. Maybe If I was 20 something, I got to thank about comfort now. Sure I am a mosaicist like everyone else here, but  I got to take care of my body.
