I'm not really sure where to put this.
The few info I've read is that Sava is a German brand. But over here in the Philippines, all the stocks came from China, with aggressive Chinese marketing. Suffice to say, if one doesn't read one would believe it's Chinese. But pretty much all the info Google showed me are Sava China or Sava Phils. (I'm guessing this has to do with Google being localized by region). So I'm a bit lost.
I'm thinking of a titanium frame w/ carbon fibre parts single speed touring bike as next year's project. And came across Sava. They got a few ti models that's around US$1,250 (built bikes). And carbon fibre models under US$1,000. Granted the components aren't sexy, with Deore and 105's as their top of the line specs. In short, they are targeting the budget concious ones. And pretty much everyone I know (who's been riding with me for years) avoids it... because they believe Made in China can't be trusted.
I personally don't have anything against it (I got a couple of Chiners myself) but wants to know from folks here (especially the Germans and Europeans) who knew Sava. Is it a good brand over there or am I better off looking at On One, Seven, Moots or Litespeed, Lynskey and the likes?
