I sent him a message, we will see.

I bought a MSO (digital mixed signal oscilloscope) from Rigol, a great Chinese company, but I don't generally trust Chinese companies, especially on Aliexpress and eBay, as they usually they sell garbage!

I'm writing this as I'm about to return two titanium bottle cages that I bought from two random Chinese companies on Aliexpress, that were welded so badly that they cracked!

And, sht!, we are talking about 500ml of water in a super light Bianchi Barcellona aluminum bottle: titanium requires proper skills and equipment, especially the grade 5, requires cold working and welding that does not expose it to oxygen, otherwise it loses mechanical properties, and if they are not capable of welding a simple bottle cage that is stressed at less than half a kg in weight, imagine how much I can trust a saddle collar stressed by 66Kg in weight!
