Bucklos
Any good? It shows up on eBay any time I search for anything bike related.

No but it is cheap stuff that is advertised. Have you ever heard of bucklos beyond those adverts? Have you ever seen it on a quality bike from the factory? The answer is no and you won't. If you really need a cheap low end fork SR Suntour makes stuff that is commonly spec'd on lower end bikes (though they also make some decent forks not something I would spec on my own bikes but not something that turned me away from a bike) or upgrade a tiny bit and get a Rockshox Judy, a well known well respected fork that has been around for decades.

If I was getting a fork I’d go brand name, but the pedals would surely be harder for them to mess up…
I see stems and cranks, and those are surely just sticks…

Leinster, apparently Bucklos has found a way to screw pedals up. At the shop I saw two pair of them, and they both failed within a few weeks of purchase. They do not have ball or needle bearings, but are simply a bushing for the rotating surface. Honestly, they look nice, however the looks are decieving.

I picked up a set of pedals for a kick around bike, they've done ok. I've had to adjust the axle nut and regrease them. Mine has a bearing at the end of the axle and a bushing on the crank side of the spindle. Wouldn't buy them for anything I wanted to worry about relying on for long rides.

I purchased an aluminum handlebar and it was light and strong. Lately their handlebar prices have increased, but fortunately I haven't needed another. I wouldn't purchase a suspension fork from Bucklos, but other parts, maybe. Also, I doubt they are a manufacturer, so you probably see their parts everywhere, just with different names (and from the quality of my handlebars, not on "wally" bikes).
