Bling from China

[George Mac]

Does anyone know where in china all the bike bling that we see on the internet is produced? I have just been sent out to Shekou for 5 weeks (unfortunately four of which is going to be offshore) and was hoping to pick up a few bargains. So far all I can find is electric scooters, copy iphones, and weird looking dried stuff that everyone eats. Where are the imitation Pazzo levers, the footpegs, the billet resevoirs? Maybe I will just have to wait till I get home and buy it all on ebay

Thanks Disco, but I am stuck down in Shekou and prob only have a couple of days before heading offshore.
The last time I was here was in 2004 and the place was a rattling haze of two-stoke smoke, now six years later whole families are getting around on electric scooters!! Is this progress or the end of an era?
