Chinese Bikes
Hi Matt,
If you are going to Nairobi, Chris at JJ's will buy the bike and prepare it for you.
The Jincheng 150 which I got from him took me 15,000 km from Nairobi back to UK going west across the continent.
I re-engined in Morocco for £220, including taking out the original and fitting the new one !
Cheers.

So excited I found this thread, as buying Chinese was my plan! (Like MennoMoto, there's a long story behind this decision)
Any idea on what's available in Mozambique?
Or would it be cheaper to buy in SA?
For spares, based on typical problems with these bikes, what spares should I buy?
Tires? Are people buying Chinese too?
Thanks!
