Would like opinions from this that have bought it. Leaning towards AliExpress only because it would be much cheaper.
Is there a big difference in quality between the two?

Also curious! Wondering if anyone has compared side by side.
I’ve heard a lot of horror stories about Aliexpress.
If a frame is that cheap brand new, it’s too good to be true.
they are all the same frame set, the tsunami website from my knowledge is just a reseller of the frames and such on their websites for much more expensive. typically aliexpress is safe and i have ordered many parts before with no issue. i would look at a listing of the tsunami frameset on aliexpress that has a lot of reviews.
Never buy an aluminum frame that is under $200
Check with tsunami that AliExpress is an authorised dealer and that proof of purchase will qualify you for warranty.
AliExpress may be undercutting Tsunami to offload dead stock but it doesn’t mean it’s fake or that you’re gonna get screwed. Sometimes suppliers/dealers deviate from rrp.
If you can save a quid and get the same warranty fucking send it.
Edit: or whatever 3rd party seller operating through AliExpress
AliExpress is a knockoff website.
Imagine going 35 mph, and your fork snapping because you cheaped out…
Why do y’all do this? Just save up some money and do things the right way.
I forgot how much I love Reddit….. both the extremes of the intelligence spectrum in all their glory…..
Having worked in a third world country, in an industrial park…… how much do any of you think it costs to make these things? To get a product into a store in the U.S.? It varies across industries. In my retail experience, a pair of jeans you buy in the U.S. for $75 costs about $12. And that’s cost to point-of-storage. I hope you can all tell where I’m going with this…..
Im from Singapore many kids ride tsunami lol. Its not absolute dogshit lah there’s people in this sub riding tsunami too. Aliexpress from my experience, is 100% okay
I just got the TC01 tracklocross frame, but cheap steal and cheap aluminum are not the same thing. Steel is stronger. With that being said I’m pretty happy with my tsumami so far.
what about their chromoly frame? it’s $120 plus shipping?
