Really don't know, but "gruppo's belong on road bikes";) I'm new to mountain biking after years of road cycling. All the Xs have been a real shock to me.

Call 'em what you want. You'll get crap from us either way. I'm pretty hard to get along with;)

Sounds like a marketing opportunity! |

Why do all the aliens begin with Z? Zorg, Zot, Zootron etc.. an how come we never see James Black and Barry White sitting down at breakfast together and where the hell is wonglepong anyway? Just askin....
|
Probably a referrence to cross, as in cross country; XC.
|
Speaking of which why do they call it cross country? Its not like you are going across the country.
|
Dw chel, we all love you really...
I think groupsets is best, gruppos is more of a italian road bike group set term (ask the roadies if you want to clarify, I think I'm right). The cross country bit depends on your use of the country. I think in this use it means "that area of land which is not part of a city of town". |
