Hello,

I have seen lots of reviews where Create bikes are heavily criticised, but no one has posted any pictures or videos of the bikes exploding while you cycle them (As some people claims)

They are made in China, yes... Is that all?

Thanks for your input

Heavy bottom quality steel frame
"junky" plastic parts.
Nothing to suggest that it will explode

With bikes, you get what you pay for. Usually.

Do we really need two threads asking the same question, started only 3 minutes apart?
