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

Blue Competition bikes on Bonktown

I have seen some blue competition bikes on bonktown. I was wondering if anyone owns one or has any insight about them.

Basically I am wondering if they are a good bike, or is there a reason they are being sold on bonktown.

From a few people I know who've had them, yeah they are good bikes. I guess they just didn't sell enough, so off to bonktown they go. I would confirm warranty coverage before buying.

They're good bikes, often coming with nicer parts than their competition of the same gruppo.

On a related note... I installed that Chrome extension for Bonktown the other day. They are already sucking lots of money out of me... dangerous LOL...

I would have saved beaucoup money if I had an ounce of patience and held some orders for combined shipping.

I raced a Blue for a season a few years ago. It was a very nice frameset.

I ride a Blue RC8 and absolutely love it... I also got it on Bonktown. If they have your size pull the trigger, you won't regret it.
