I was getting fairly confident at assembling these bikes and would just order the frames from Taiwan, acquiring other components locally.
The cost of these frames is less than half the European counterparts with also shorter delivery times.
The frame updates on the latest high racer included thru-frame cabling and smoothed joints which really gave the bike a high class finish.
Also featured a tapered steering bearing system and new tiller.
One of my friends was so stunned by this bike he asked me to build him a green one.
He spared no expense with Ultegra components. The finished bike weighed in at 11.2 kg, and that was with fibreglass seat!
About this time I was looking for a travel bike.
Again, I ordered from Christine, a split-frame FWD bike with small wheels.
