SuperB distribution in Europe
« on: August 08, 2011, 10:53:01 PM »
The SuperB parts will be available in Europe in October through Brakeless distribution from Switzerland. As you know the SuperB frames and parts are produced in Japan and it's tricky to import them because the production in Japan is rather expensive and the import tax makes it even worse for Europe.

However, Adrian from Brakeless is already doing a great job distributing Ares parts and will provide you with affordable (not cheap tho) SuperB parts in the future. All the prices and options are already listed on brakeless.ch

Are the parts actually produced in Japan? As far as I can remember Ares had their stuff done at some "special shop in Taiwan".

not too sure about superB, but the tubing for ares are some "special" japanese steel (equivalent to ox platinium?) tubes, shipped to taiwan for machining(not too sure) and welding(99%) by a "specialized production house" then shipped back to japan...shady, lol.
