ebay carbon - crazy prices?

[Chris]

I'm sure for a carbon manufacturer in Hong Kong it would be no hassle to take a mold of an original prince.

Gotta remember these people are the masters of mass reproduction.

Saying that for £199 as apposed to £2700 for the prince I know where i'd spend my money

Team sky decal set anyone :roll:

As much as i hate to say it but the Chinese factories produce good stuff. The prices are silly low. Well made from what i've bought and they have excellent comms. Customer service is excellent unlike some of the British companies i've had dealings with.
I even worked in a dept were we did our best to stop the Chinese getting the lastest tech.
They will take over the world

A mate of mine has had a Prince shaped one for a few months bought through someone he knows for a fair bit less than the ebay price :shock:

He's built like a tank and has the riding finesse of a, well quite frankly he has no riding finesse whatsoever he borrowed my Planet X and it had died within 4 hours of him having it :?

I haven't ridden a Prince to compare and I doubt it compares in anyway at all but it rides as nicely as my ( new ) Planet X and the Planet X bikes ride VERY well for the money

If it survives a whole winter of him riding it I'm going to buy one in the spring but not the Prince shaped one as I hate it
