Tom said:Any reason besides cost to be looking at Ansbern vs. FREY? So many pitfalls ordering direct from China and ways to get taken, FREY may not be the cheapest but you know what you are getting. I did a search for Ansbern on ES and one person here bought one of their bikes. Seemed they had some issues, not sure if they got them worked out.

the Ansbern is $2,000 cheaper with very similar components,
No one had heard about Frey until people started buying...
They have been around longer than Frey bike
Just wanted to see if anyone had given it a go?

Maxxis tires, 17/21 battery
I think this could be a good single track light riding bike, good enough components for good price compromise,
They say they are a manufacturer not just a assemble company.
I can't afford a Frey bike,
I didn't ride hard stuff just fun stuff.
Any thoughts

Which components do you get for the base price of 2k USD? It seems they listed a few parts as Upgradements, which makes it difficult to compare. Let us know what they quote you for a bike and its specs.
