What caught my eye first was part of the warranty that said "PLEASE TIGHTEN ALL LOCKRINGS, CRANKS, AND PEDALS ETC., BEFORE AND AFTER EVERY RIDE". Then I noticed that it was pretty much all no-name hardware.
The shifters are friction shifters which is a bit of a throwback. No telling how long the screws and nuts will last before they strip. And at least the A Lee 714 has only 14 gears. This is set up like a 1970s streetbike. Looks like it's made in China and sold through Japan. Currrently, the dealer network is limited to L.A, and one sells books as well as bikes. Not a particularly elegant looking frame in my opinion. You get what you pay for.
