Truth in bicycle advertising....

Well I finally found a component maker that is truthful. ACROS, the "Chris King of Germany" has the following description on their web site. The whole thing is in German except the following on their top of the line category. Makes you wonder who it is aimed at or maybe there is just no good way to say it in German.

"pimp-style @ its best"

Listed under the Exo line description : https://www.acros.de/acros_e/03_servi...duct_lines.php
