Bikes: EAI Bareknuckle

Who gives a crap? It's an $800 bicycle frameset mass-produced in China, not a vintage Colnago Pista. If your so-called "track friends" would care so much, they just might be "hipsters" themselves...

None of my posts here imply "anger" in any way and the only people threatened by knowledge are imbeciles.

Does my being sensible and correct put your beret in a bunch? You can flex as hard as you want behind your clavier but as someone who does a ton of direct business with EAI, I maintain the fact that they do not make a stamped alloy cog.
