I've ordered and built two kits from gasbike. I ordered two kits from rose326a on ebay... just finishing the first build. here's some comparisons...
Gasbike.net
kit comes with the motor apart. I kinda like this because I know that the engine is put together correctly and if anything fails, it's probably my fault.
comes with slightly larger tank.. a bit better quality than rose326a tank. shipping is a pain because i gotta sign for the package, which means an extra day. If you try hard enough, you can actually talk to someone on the phone. wrong / broken parts... one piston ring was broke in half... rear sprocket was completely wrong and didn't match holes in rag joint. had to call MULTIPLE times to correct this. quick shipping of replacement parts.
$134 shipped
rose326a on ebay...
fairly quick shipping. rear sprocket is a good bit thicker and doesnt warp when tightening the rag joint. sprocket does not have a "shiny" side. gas tank is a bit smaller than gasbike kit. throttle grip and matching grip are nicer than the dinky gasbike kit. Engine is assembled ! however I might take it apart to look around inside. one messed up part - clutch cable had a kink in it. i sent message on ebay and got a quick response.. new part in the mail. you can get the engine and muffler in black/flat black or silver/crome. instructions !!!! .. seriously, there was a pamphlet with instructions ! in color ! and in english !!!
about $139 shipped
so, both have pros and cons I guess.
