Anyone have the link to this companies site? I can't decipher their logo.





https://www.kemcogroup.com/about.asp



I have to take care of some car stuff first, so I'll have to mess with this some more later.

looks like asialink

I'd love to hear how you got on with the bike, see some more pictures.

I suspect the kemcogroup are just the company that import them, based on their address, I wonder who actually manufactures them?

Can't find anything about asialink concept (what it seems to say on the box)

Thanks

asia link concept.

wow.

i thought i was going to read about the bike.

pics of the box doesnt help anyone

well, the box looks cool. review over.

get a blog

I put it together as is just to try it out. Out of the box, the rear brake is mounted and connected all the way to the bars, the front brake is assembled and hanging from the bars. I'm going to get some other bars soon. The brakes will come off with these stock bars. And some pedals that are easier to get into.

I've taken it around the block a few times. It's twitchy, but maybe they are all like this? I got an aluminum frame because I've never had an aluminum bike before. I wanted to see what it was like.

more pictures, and more details.

I'd be interested in finding out who makes these as as I said in this thread I'm hoping to import some of them to Europe.

So any further information would be much appreciated...

This review needs more close up pictures of the welds.

among other things

in for more

Can you measure the frame and let us know if it matches the geometry listed on the sale add? Their top tubes seem pretty short.

Details of what? Close up pictures of what? Which measurements?

I'm new to these bikes and I don't know which critical details differ enough from one bike to another.

Right now, it just seems like any other bike and not significantly different in one way or another.

For long term durability though, I'd definitely say go chromoly for any bike.

The threaded aluminum tube that makes up the bottom bracket. Those threads just seem so delicate(being aluminum).

The aluminum head tube. Driving out and pressing in new cups. The long term of that.

Also the potential issue of welds cracking or cracks in the heat affected zone.

Even with the frame being painted, it's only painted on the outside. Bare aluminum insides and various vent holes allowing access to the insides.

In small aircraft litterature, it's recommended to take hot linseed oil and pour it in tubes and coat them, then drain it and plug the hole.

Better late then never?


Being aluminum; it's got some fat welds on it...

It's got some miles(literally) on it now. How it looked out of the box:



How it looks now:






Frame and wheels have held up and no problems. I swapped out the handle bar and pedals. I was always real twitchy with the stock bar and didn't like how low they were. I always had a hard time getting into the stock pedal straps. I'd like to get a better(more comfortable) seat.

If I could do it again; I'd have gotten the chromoly frame for the look of the thinner tubing.

Still riding it!

Haha that's nice to hear!

I'm more impressed with most of the image links still working!

ImageShack goes hard.

Too bad it's blocked in China and many workplaces alike.

I had a premium account with them so I can host large .gifs and flash files, a premium feature, and I can vouch that they've kept them up and viewable long after I stopped paying.
