I would have to agree with Carl... I really think the best budget bike for Chiner travel has got to be the Shineray GY7. It's comfortable and smooth on the road. The wide seat is really nice and it eats up the long streches of bad roads. The only problem I had with mine was the tripple clamp and it seems like the issue has been fixed. There were only a few that did have a problem and none since the new design was implemented.
