Awesome! I love the swingarm and the trellis frame, but I'm most impressed by this pic.

We already discussed these briefly:
http://chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=13933 Unfortunately, FX bikes have been taking preorders for some years now, so I'm a bit skeptic if they'll ever see daylight. Hopefully, CCW will be faster |

That's a very funny expression that I've not heard before.

They sure weren't gentle with their bikes. I could hear the typical CB squeaking and rattling over the music, but the bikes took the punishment. I wonder what to search for on Taobao to buy parts like that.

I have looked and looked . I could not find a Chinese source of theses bikes . seems Cleveland cycles works may be able to get there's out sooner. I have not seen pricing anywhere. I think I could use one

I'm wondering if I could build one for the street. It would require that those skinny rims and tires have DOT approval, and the rest I could sort out.

I've been looking at the FXx and the Motoped (shown below with pegs not pedals). The Stromer ST2 eBike might be what I end up with. Just not sure yet, which way I will go.

The Stromer ST2 is rather pricey but it goes 150 kilometers on a charge.

Does anyone know where the Cleveland FXx is being manufactured? One of the links provided by Krasi lists an MSRP of 2,100 Euros, which equals $2,770 USD. I'd be tempted to get one at that price.

Meaning which country? If so, my lunch money says China. I'm sorry if that answer comes across as trite; I don't mean it to be.
