Any ideas, cost etc. about shipping to the U.S.
Good luck with it.
sure, can always choose brand/version of tubing.
i assume the starting prices are for "entry level" steel.
in this case it's columbus cromor.
it's slightly thicker at 0.09/0.06/0.09 than the lighter
0.08/0/05/0.08 reynolds. no biggie, and i'd prefer
thicker tubing for touring anyways.

trusty? dunno, it's a dude on the interwebs. but has
good feedback on taobao page with comments and
photos from satisfied customers.

don't know about shipping to the usa, but shouldn't
be more than $50 or so. could contact seller if
interested. shipping within china is under $10
