Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Anybody? Seen one? Ridden one? I was able to find one post in another forum... But it read like a fake plant by a rep or something... Which to be honest, turned me off, and now has me thinking they are just another pack of jokers trying to unload Taiwanese generics at a premium. Am I wrong?

Probably not since even some of the "prestigious" Italian names are doing the same thing.

It's a Taiwanese "generic" regardless.

Wow that looks god-awful. Did they get their graphics from the same people who draw up the menus at your local low-end gelatto place? Ugh.

It makes the GMC Denali's graphics look classy.

There is a forum specific to those who want to argue these sort of things. Please go there. Otherwise, do like I do and try to ignore people's use of language that does not necessarily fit into your personal mindset.
