Good bikes, but remember with bikes you get what you pay for.Originally posted by Moscow Mule View PostHow long have you had it? Thinking about getting a fat boy (wiggle have a special edition) but not sure about frame build quality etc as I've never seen one.
Focus promotes a story of German build and quality about themselves.
Most parts come from Taiwan, China and Japan.
I had to find out some sizes for bushings for a rear shock on a Focus. No one at Focus would answer me, but a guy in Taiwan not only knew, but also sent me some.
Watch out for spec. changes too. The brochure might say one thing, but look at the bike to see if it does. (Know someone who bought one by looking at the spec., and the rear shock delivered was one £100 cheaper and wasn't suitable as it's PIP was way lower).Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.
