thinking of getting a Titanium road frame from China.
They're about half the price of anywhere else. Does
anyone have any experience or comments regarding
Chinese made Titanium frames?

Rather than repeat too much old info I would say I'm generally happy with
mine (2 years old). I had a few problems when I sent the money to their Bank
of China account (banks like to deduct their own cut) but nothing too
drastic.

If you want more specifics you can email me....or wait for Marty to reply

I wouldn't say I'm an expert. You have to be bold and just "Do it!".
I'd recommend getting seatpost, handlebars and any other bits you can
while you're at it. They can fit a fair bit in the box and the postage
costs will be the same.
