    This is great, but when is it ever coming out in China?
    XTR is available in many cities in China. Even HK has a few of them

    slightly related, here's a pic of my shiny new CNC machined fork clamps. now i'm not scared to use my front brakes anymore for fear of cast aluminium catastrophic failure!

    there's a thread on chinese bike forum with pics of the galaxy factory down in guangdong and of the water cooled version coming out later this year. judging by the pics it really looks the exact same as the puzey:

    Puzzy originally made his bikes at the Galaxy factory. He had some issues and moved to work with SPX in Jiangmen.

    Eddie, Who is SPX? Happen to have a link to their products or information?

    Edit: Nevermind! Just saw your other posts!

    That would help answer my question about the origin of the non-water cooled bikes shown on the Puzey site. It is probably why Galaxy greatly improved the quality of the bikes from the '08 models to the '09 models.

    Good looking bike, Franki! Are those racks custom, or is this a new factory option?
