Anyone ever bought a bike from Taobao?

[effertime]

I'd be bloody hesitant making that statement, cause there are plenty of unscrupulous sellers on TB selling nothing but PS adulterated photos of nothingness, for a slice of ones hard earned cash... moral> don't believe anything posted or being sold on TB.

Well, I'm sure glad I found this site. After a few more hours of searching for places to buy a bike in Chengdu, I discovered that the site admin Crazy Carl also lives here in Chengdu and has a website that pointed me directly to Chengdu's LARGE motorcycle market (and in addition; where to get a license, where to buy gear and find a mechanic, etc). So thankfully I won't need to use Taobao after all. Awesome resource for anyone in the 'Du.

I'll be heading down to the Motorcycle Market on Wednesday...and i'll post updates. Thanks again to everyone.
