>>1258870I really want to believe it wasn't a knockoff because the old man running the store was great, but how would I be able to tell from looking at the bike personally or by asking him certain questions?
It's not quite alibaba or walmart cheap, costing roughly 360 bux, So while it probably costs more than it would in the US of A due to imports and my country (Israel) being generally pretty expensive, It's also not quite a third world shithole and he operates not far from other shops that sell at more predictable prices for the type of bike (around 520$ ish).
As I said, googling the brand name brings up nothing and I tried looking in aliexpress for that bike and couldn't find something with that particular design.
I should try and take a picture next time I'm there.
pic semi related, it's obviously not the bike I'm talking about but it's similar in shape.
