I saw there was some discussion recently about the merits of Chinese bikes compared to European machines.

Anybody favouring the latter will look at this and say, 'I rest my case!'

Take a hard look.
Nearly all cars have mud under the wings that falls off in a collision.
Tong in cheek posting hence the smiley face. The wonders of digital editing.

not everyone.
because a lot of expensive German designs are eccentric, especially in frame designs, pushing one aspect forward to the detriment of the rest.
German bikes are generally better fitted but not usually better designed.
