Is there anybody who rides korean kerin bikes, like "CELLO", "COREX"? It's my corex kerin bike. Full spec click this (http://velospace.org/node/9060) plz.

In korea, there are two kerin HAND-MADE frame maker "CELLO", "COREX". "CELLO" is YOUNG CYCLE's brand name and "COREX" is JIN CYCLE's brad name.

Almost for twenty years, they've made kerin, track, road bike frames.

There are some on here.

that bike looks tiny, but might look good if you got rid of that horrible tt pad, put the brake on the front, and taped the bars..

just saying what about 50 people will say.

there are a few on here. Do a search, there are two or three threads on it already. In fact, bonechilling is in Korea right now and can probably answer some questions for you.

TDHK

No way man, I'm not in Korea! You're thinking of bonelesschicken.

cello studied under yoshi konno.

That's a cool frame, thanks for posting. I would like to see more detail shots of the frame itself.

Dude! Shows what YOU know. Keirin brand bikes USED to be made in Japan in the same factory as the Keirin brand beer, but rising labor forced production to Taiwan and Korea.

The better quality Keirin brand bikes are now made in Korea, while the really junky ones, the ones with old fashioned loose ball bearings and quill stems and that obsolete kinda junk are all made in Taiwan.

I heard Keirin went bankrupt and no longer makes bykes. :(

i heard keirin is only for yugoslavia

You used to be able to see korean keirin (kyeong ryun) in Seoul at the olympic velodrome.
They moved it to the speedom in Gwangmyeong.
They also have races in Busan.

Here's a link with pics from my last visit. http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=351676&highlight=keirin+korean

i got some NJS stamped kirin ichiban on ebay the other day, $200 a six pack.

5 of the 6 cans were dented, though.

check for rust

If you don't know that Korea has its own version of Keirin then I suppose its easy to make these kind of mistakes. It would be more accurate to call it Korean Kyeong Lyun since that's what Koreans call it. But that'll never catch on so... I can has arrospok?

Considering Kirin and Keirin arent pronounced anything like eachother.... :rolleyes:

its pronounced the same in chicago.

KAY-rin!




not like americans or europeans are about to say it like that though. i mean, i've heard announcers say "kir-in" during track championship events on youtube.




just like everyone says su-JEE-no, not su-GHEE-no.

how is it actually pronounced? my friend and I were talking about that today because we'd never heard it said.

its because americans have a ****ed up sense of pronunciation.

my favorite example: tae

tae is not tai it is tae. tai is tai. kei is not key, it is kei. if they wanted it to sound like key, they'd have spelled it that way.

Oh man, don't get me started on romanizing Korean names. Everyday I meet 30 new Korean children. They all have to make nametags and write their names out in English. There are several standarized methods for doing this but the kids usually have they're own way of spelling their names. When I go and read the name and mispronounce it, I instantly have thirty kids shouting and laughing, either correcting me or making fun of their friend who just had their name mispronounced.

you are either prejudiced against americans or misinformed of how languages work as a whole.

how do you think romance languages differed even though they all came from latin, hmm? different places adopt different tongues, see the same word and pronounce it differently. it's human nature, don't try to blame it on one isolated group of people throughout history.

americans are dumb and misinformed when it comes to the world. how many times have u watched CNN, CNBC or any other major national news channel and the newscasters pronounced Iraq/Iran as I-Rag/I-Ran?

atleast the BBC news would take their time and call up the embassies and ask about the correct pronunciation of foreign names and words. this is called respect.

just look at the commentaries by british commentators in F1 and football (btw it's not and never "soccer") too.

cheers

whatever dude, it goes both ways. i'm still right even if some american commentators may not take their pronunciations so seriously.

yeah you don't really have to look that far... jsut look at your head of state.

cheers

shampoo is better! i go on first and clean the hair.

ouch, insulted for a man whom i actively insult and lampoon. touche.

How is this different than people who speak Asian languages mispronouncing English words? Sometimes there isn't an exactly analogous sound between two languages. It's ok to think that foreigners mispronunciations of words is amusing or stupid, as long as you're ok with your own mispronunciation of foreign words being amusing or stupid to someone else.

hvernig hefur þú það?

I listen to the radio basically all day, and I can assure you that plenty of BBC reporters mispronounce a litany of words, including "Iraq." Similarly, there are plenty of American commentators who pronounce Iraq "properly" (if there is a proper English-language pronunciation, and some would argue there isn't). Making a blanket statement like this is absurd.

Andre is right, comments like this show an ignorance and an anti-American bias that makes no sense. Anyone with even a passing familiarity with language can tell you that he's correct.

This is a wildly misinformed comment.

i'm growing to love you.

shampoo is better! i go on first and clean the hair.

NO! :mad:
Conditioner is better. I leave the hair silky and smooth.

it is soo gih no....all syllables very short and even.
keirin is the same ... kay rin/lin with both syllables even and short.

how should we say "iran"? "EE-ran"? I-ran is how it is pronounced in america. just like Deutchland is pronounced Germany. Italia Italy, España Spain.

Localization mother****er

Korean romanization lesson:

The "dai" in hyundai is put together using Hangul (Korean phonetic characters) with d, a, i, but the a&i together sound like ae (eh).

how should we say "iran"? "EE-ran"

I think its ear-rah-n.

this has nothign to do with americans not being able to pronounce foreign names. yes, there are sounds that americans simply cannot make. but on the other hand there are names americans refuse to care about pronounce properly. this is what bugs me.

you cannot expect people in asia to prounce an R properly or an L, P, F whatever. the sounds simply don't exist. on the other hand, americans are fully capable of knowing the difference between AI and AE but they simply don't care to make the extra effort to sound it out.

So tell me, why do they say pisto or pisuto in Japan, doomkin?

they

traitor.

This is awesome. You never know what random argument you will find in any given thread.
