Must be a personal problem.
BTW...Giant got three teams...that also included the development Rabobank team (espoir team) and one of the top cross teams in the world.
Oh.
With manufacturers running out of 2008 model bikes on East
and West Coast warehouses in
JUNE, cycling is getting huge. At the shop I work at, Giant ran out of OCR's in June, and we didn't get Defy's until Mid-July. What does this say about entry-level road bike sales? With hundreds of thousands of dollars being invested into the newest, lightest, most aerodynamic bikes and components, consumers want more. Gas is high? Groceries cost too much? Screw that, I want to spend more money than anyone ever did in the last hundred years on a bike.
I was going to say something else, but I had to put some pants on and I forgot.
