Thanks Sebastian,
Interesting, "alleged" performance differences between the copies and the original. I wouldn't care if the Velobuild 218 for example wasnt as good as the original, as long as it is plenty stiff enough, and it clearly isn't too heavy for a race bike. It will obviously be just as aero as the original. For the money what is not to love about these Chinese frame sets!
Lots and lot of hate and scaremongering on the internet. Most of the hate probably comes from snobs who can never admit to themselves they payed £10,000 extra to save 300g and have a cleaner looking bearing interface
