I appreciate that a lot of folk are currently looking to China for cheaper carbon products but I was wondering about titanium.
I’ve been trying to get hold of an affordable titanium flat bar to take the sting out of my rigid hardtail and was looking for something a little cheaper than the Thomson (currently about £180). There are a fair few sub-£100 offering from China, Taiwan etc. (usually via Ali Baba or Ebay) and I was wondering if anyone had any experience of them.
I’ve had a look at the Rock Brothers website (China I think) and in addition to cycling components they make a bizarre range of items including titanium key rings and titanium tooth picks for ‘self defence’; it doesn’t fill me with confidence.
