Back when I retook road riding, about 6 years ago, I had two Chinese frames. The second one I used for almost two years and back then I was putting 300 mile weeks pretty regularly. None of them asploded
I won't go back that route since now I can actually afford original frames like the Look 675 I built up, or the two steel bikes I'm currently putting together but there's nothing wrong with Chinese frames as far as quality. I personally know 3 more people that have them and have ridden them for years without issues. These scare tactics are just that; go out and ride what you like and don't worry about what anyone says because in the end it's your money and your bike.
