Welcome to Chinertown - Introduce Yourself!

Welcome aboard cmh!

I almost bought a Chiner road bike at the beginning of the year, but really sub-par communication had me cancel the order.  Glad to see things are getting better!

Hopefully, this forum giving the consumer more of a voice - and the vendors a place to get feedback, will force the Chinese suppliers to up their game even more because if they don't they will lose business to those that do.

Also, Welcome to Chinertown!

Thanks, all!  I had a frameset picked out, had it all planned out, had placed the order, and waited for three weeks, then followed up and found out that they didn't have it in stock all along. ಠ_ಠ My bad for not following up but zero communication for three weeks?  Lamesauce.

Hi all,
This is Ernesto from Baja, Mexico. As I live right at the border I spend my time mountain biking on both sides. Trails on northern Baja and SoCal are what I call home.
I have a chinese frame I bought from X-goods, pretty sweet deal and has withstood a lot of miles and abuse so far. I swapped all the parts from my Marin Indian Fire trail to it (plus some upgrades).

I'm glad I found this forum and thanks for putting it up.

Good to have you, Ernesto! Sounds like you live in pretty much ideal MTB conditions/environment. 

If you get a chance.. Rep your country: http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,479.0.html

Don't think we have anyone from Mexico here, yet.

Thanks Sitar, I think we get the best of both worlds, terrain and weather wise. On the Baja side there’s a lot of not-developed terrain to explore, on the Cal side there’s lots of miles of marked and mapped trails. Even though in the summer it gets pretty hot here (100-110F even in the mountains), we also get snow and rain (what makes things even more fun sometimes) and plenty of good weather in the fall, winter and spring.
I already spotted a couple of very interesting threads, I’ll check them out this evening and leave my comments (saw that “are 26” dead?” thread  ).

Welcome Ernesto!  Glad to see your country represented on our forum.

Hey Chinertown.
Andre Casey here hailing ya'l from Central Oregon great forum by the way it's proving to be very helpful. I'm looking to get my first full suspension bike & a buddy told me about Chinese carbon MTB & this forum here. I was thinking about the Titan 29 until I read a post from someone here on this forum abut them compressing seizing up & finally breaking but with all the talk about the O36 & the u tube videos about them I finally made up my mind & getting one. Once again thanks for the great info & helpful form from like minded individual's.

Welcome Andre, glad to have you here.  Look forward to seeing your IP-036 build.

[Izzy]

Welcome, Andre. You definitely came to the right place - Glad you found some useful info here. I really like the Titan as well, but think the 0-36 is more proven and tested and the frame I'd almost certainly go with. If I were going to go for something other than the 036 though, it'd be the Enduro copy. It's just so sweet looking. Problem is, it's the newest and least proven Chiner around. Here's the thread on it in case you haven't run across it yet: http://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,472.0.html

Well I post a lot on MTBR and Ive been a member on here for a while but dont post a lot so here goes....

My name is Andy, I live in KY. We dont have massive downhills around here but we have nice flow trail type stuff. There is also a dirt jump park around here that I take my SC Blur TR out to. I built a XMI IP-106 last year and its been one hell of a bike. Probably tied ( with the Santa Cruz TR ) for the best bike I have ever owned. Love this website its really chill up in here. haha

[Carbon_Dude]

Welcome Andy, nice to see you came over to Chinertown, MTBR gets a little snippety at times.

[MTB2223]

Welcome Andy.
Sorry, I'm not familiar with all the state abbreviations. Where does KY stands for ?
