I have the opportunity to head to Shenzhen for work and have been curious about the opportunity to grab a bike/wheelset from one of the many manufacturers / wholesalers located around that city.

Someone posted links to a Chinese website selling fake factor frames on the fake factor thread a couple of days ago. The paint jobs look so cool. No idea whether they have stock, or where they are. But at least it was in Chinese :D
Alternatively, any of the usual suspects, if they have stock, can ship to your hotel, presumably. Then the box becomes oversized luggage. If you do wheels frames and a few components, ghetto aggregate this into a bigger box, you have a bike for much cheaper. A good chunk of the prices you see on AliExpress, for example, is shipping. Duct tape can solve half of the world s problems.

Planning to get a local co-worker to take me to around with a fistful of yuan and try to stuff whatever I can get into my luggage. If a person can't visit the sellers/makers in person, local delivery would be ok too.
Shenzhen has those giant wholesale "malls" for people to buy stuff, might be able to snag a bike bag for everything if I wound up with too much to fit into my largest suitcase.
