    That’s not only the case for Chinese bikes, though.

    I once had my saddle stolen and the bike shop was like:
    “Yeah bring the bike over because we need the exact measurement down to a tenth of a millimeter.”

    Me:
    “How the fuck am I supposed to do that? It doesn’t have a saddle!”

    Hardest 5km I’ve ever ridden a bike…

      Well, you can ride standing, but 5km is a long ride for that. The biggest issue for me would be not to forget about missing seatpost and not to sit back reflectively

        Exactly! :-)

        Endless loop in my head during the ride:
        “I MUST NOT SIT DOWN. I MUST NOT SIT DOWN…”

        And the upper legs felt like burning lead afterwards…

          If you have a rear rack, you can sort of sit on it, I guess. That’s an awkward position to ride, of course
