Hmmm. Would you buy a $5 helmet? What about cheap condoms? What if they offered to throw in a full brake set for only $10 more? But you want to "Give it a shot"? I don't care where the fork is made, but even you don't sound sure of it. If I see something safety related that cheap, there's no way I'll buy it.
How's your dental plan?
[Note to others] What's with the whole communist China thing? People need to go spend time in other countries before they become critical of how things are. Should the US be the model for living standards?
I love this quote:

So there's people in China lining up to work in conditions we would never accept. It's another country, and another culture. To them, maybe that's a better existence than not working in that factory. I have a conscience, but it's got better things to concern itself with.
