My friend Alan Tang of Excalibur shed the light on one possible theory as to why Chinese bikes have inferior metal; apparently, there are Chinese companies that ship a whole slew of substandard steel to the US. They let it sit in warehouses for several months. Then, they ship it back to China sell as 'US steel.'
