Like you said service should be easy on these bikes. A reputable shop should work on it no problem. It's different though and just like some service shops only work on domestic or only imports. With a dead simple bike like these I can't see the justification though.

I think it has to do with getting parts if THEY break it while working on it. Also the no name-brand parts, no part numbers. Plus the broken bike could be in their shop for a couple weeks waiting on parts.

With the increase in these machines, someone would make a lot of money and save people a lot of grief by introducing part numbers and brand parts. I am not sure why chinese companies have not done this, especially if they want to compete with American buyers. It only makes sense. These are things I am slowly learning about this owning experience.

I have been considering the CSC RX3 bike as well... Just not sure which way I am going to go right now. I think CSC are doing the best out of all the chinese import companies.

I'd be very interested in checking out that page. Could you please post a link? I searched on FB and China Bikes North America gave no results, so I'm thinking it's called something else.
