1) This forum is the last place on earth where someone will pick your bike. People here like to build their bike. Yes, it's not just for the good price that we buy Chiner. We like to spec what we want, put it together ourselves. And then be proud of it.
2) Then, it will be very tough to sell outside of "our" world. Who would pay 1200$ for a unknown bike (and really, outside of our world, this bike is unknown).
