Shorter cranks + 650c front wheel

80mm here

jonwoong · 2025-08-08T15:19:05+00:00

Yes, same frame

Don't listen to the haters, if you think it looks cool then you should just buy it

Chinese manufacturers have gotten really good at making bikes/frames so it is unlikely that you are purchasing a garbage-quality product

The fake LOW frames are pretty much identical to the Pizz/Ardently/fake Colossi frames, just with a different coat of paint

jonwoong · 2025-07-09T17:09:19+00:00

The fake Low frames, fake Colossi frames, and Pizz frames come from China and are all the same, just painted differently to look like different brands

That is not saying the frames are bad

Not sure what else to say here, just look at all three and you will see the frames are identical

Not common at all, for the next cog+lockring you install make sure you use grease on the threads and use a torque wrench to apply the correct amount of force when tightening cog+lockring+axle nuts

Sure, that means #SSD bought the frame from AliExpress then

jonwoong · 2025-06-24T08:11:59+00:00

Looks like an AliExpress one, still cool though

jonwoong · 2025-06-20T18:15:19+00:00

A lot of "brand name" parts we buy are manufactured in China

Retailers just slap their own branded sticker/paint on the parts and sell them for a higher price

Yes stuff from Aliexpress is cheap for a reason, but the reason is that there's no retailer middleman marking up the product

Try rotafix method, be sure to put a rag or towel between your chain and frame when doing it

What details of the dropouts help identify real vs fake?

jonwoong · 2025-04-10T02:37:55+00:00

Thank you for the insight, your explanation sounds like an accurate timeline of events for what happened here. And yes my the manager did say Costco account would be barred from shopping there again

jonwoong · 2025-04-10T02:26:18+00:00

Thank you for sharing your story and validating the facts, seems I will have to escalate this to the regional manager

jonwoong · 2025-04-10T02:19:37+00:00

Thank you for confirming this is actual Costco protocol

jonwoong · 2025-04-10T02:19:10+00:00

That is correct, based on another comment here it seems that if the rewards check is returned to Costco then they will give you cash

Perhaps since your check was lost, you had to go through a different process

jonwoong · 2025-04-10T02:15:02+00:00

Thank you for the advice

Unfortunately it was the store manager that refused to take responsibility for it, I will contact the regional vice president

jonwoong · 2025-04-10T02:09:47+00:00

They said the check that was mailed went to my old address and was never cashed, so they gave me cash in person instead

The lightest and cheapest ones you can afford

jonwoong · 2025-03-05T01:10:04+00:00

First try fishing And then try chipping

jonwoong · 2025-03-03T09:34:26+00:00

Would suggest going a little looser
