There is nothing wrong with overseas production. Regardless of where something is made, there are generally one of 2 criteria in the production contract. Either it's made to a certain standard, and price is not a concern, or it's made to a certain price point, and therefore to possibly lower standards. Quality is sometimes sacrificed a bit on some items to keep the cost down on a bike. Seats, tires, grips and pedals are usually replaced quickly, so it's just as easy to spec cheaper ones. Plenty of road and MTB bikes don't even include pedals. As far as Velo, they manufacture for so many different labels, it's not even funny. Nothing wrong with most of their product either.

I'm new here and just want to say whats up and I ride a Thursday. It's a small company in Idaho that handbuilds there bikes out of cromo. They rock, I haven't found a faster bike off the line yet. If someone is looking for a custom steel bike I recommend looking at a Thursday. They just came out w/ a jumper, I can't wait till mine gets here, it's currently being painted. I think what ever bike you like the most is the best and don't support knocking someones opinions. enjoy the sport and ride on...

depends on the day for me....
If its cruising around town with my son it could be my 1979 SE Racing OM Flyer.....

If I am looking to ride a Bling bling ride, its the Nomura 24"......

If I want to be 16 again, I ride my original race bike from 1983-1986, my Robinson 24"

If I want to pretend I am Eric Rupe (look him up....) I ride my Rupe Replica Profile......

If I want to try and kill myself and get air or ride hard, I have a Haro Backtrail X24...Its heavy, strong and so far indestructable.

I ride a Hoffman EP '98 when i want to flatland, or just look slick (not that often).
But lately i just got a new Hoffman Disrupter EL2 '05 that i have been riding alot, street is so much funner (although it has broke a few times already)

When you first signed on to the forums, you agreed that you would be doing your best to use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. If you find you are unable to, then you should not be posting here. If you prefer, we can have the mods explain it to you.
