Cleveland Cyclewerks Misfit: Opinion?
« on: August 28, 2011, 08:31:47 PM »
Just saw an ad for these:

I've been told they are made in China. Needless to say, I'm intrigued.

I don't know, I like the cafe tank and seat, but the rest just looks like a cheap little commuter. I've heard nothing good about their engines (that's a "generic" engine used in about 10 different Chinese bikes) so I think I'd buy the tank and seat and put them on something decent. Cheers, Terry.  ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

At the rate things are going, China will be your only option in the near future.

Well I suppose we were concerned about Japan taking over the world financially 20 or 30 years ago, but Japan is now in a similar situation to the US (pretty much fcuked) nowadays, so China may well rise, but when the Chinese people get sick of communism screwing them, and demand decent wages and living conditions, they'll be in the same boat as Japan, methinks. Cheers, Terry.  ;D

NORINCO makes a good SKS and a good AK-47.  They even make a pretty good 1911 45 but alas none of these have a motor.
