just copying parts that aren't fully tested would end in wasted money and effort which these pirate guys just don't do. But also the Helix guys pricing is pretty damn good already so i'm not sure how much cost cutting is actually safe to do on a copy.
I did chat with a Chinese titanium frame manufacturer a while ago and mentioned Helix as a comparison. They were stunned that Helix could produce something at that price range. The implication is that even Chinese copies could not sell a titanium bike of that caliber at that price. Just FYI.
