    Amazingly, no offense to your bike intended, this is the Chinese bike I have seen with the most dangerous, catasrophic failure of any...

    Well that's likely to happen from time to time. Other manufacturers have had some pretty wicked failures as well (like exploding fork tubes) and they need to be corrected.

    I think Shineray has corrected their design but, as always, its a bitch to get over the stigma once it's in place.

    If not anything else, the GY7 takes good pictures!

    You mean Mike does :P

    I suppose you are right, I hadn't heard of the exploding fork tubes? But now that you mention it I have heard of exploding rear hubs...
