I was looking around on e-bay, and saw some bicycles going by the brand name Tank. Anyone have any experience with these, or know anything about them? I checked out their website, but they don't have a whole lot of info about the specific bikes. They look fairly nice, but that can be said about a lot of stuff.

they're a taiwanese brand, that is quite popular here in mainland china. the aluminium hard tails made with easton tube set retails for about 1800 kuai. maybe 300 american.。

they apparently weigh about 1.6k for a seventeen inch, and seem like an ok xc hardtail. apparently they now do a bike with carbon stays, but that's a new thing, maybe not worth guinea pigging. they also have a model called pro-sport, which doesn't use easton tubing and is much cheaper....

need any more info let me know and i can ask around locally
