Anybody ridden a Twitter Rocket?

105 11 speed and 8.2kg for 25,900 baht, what can go wrong!?

Everybody seems to sell these for the same price, can you get a 'discount for cash'?

These a overpriced Chinese crap, if you're looking for reasonably quality look at the Java brand for Chinese rubbish. At that price though you can get a Merida or Giant with Tiagra which would be a better long term investment. Or take a look at Nich, it's a Thai brand based on Chinese open mold frames, painted in Thailand but generally have good support/service

Thanks for the reply

OK I'm up for a Giant, Defy would be good, got any prices you can point me too?

Re the Nich, I just looked at their website and the KEM alloy frame and carbon fork is 1.6kg for 580 Usd (excluding shipping). I don't see anything special there unless I can get a 50% discount somewhere? ;-)

You have to go to their shop in Bangkok to get proper pricing in Thailand for Nich.

This is the link of the Giant distributor, click through the various links to get an idea of pricing
