Ohh sticker manipulation!
Gotta love turning a 'Bianchi' sticker into
Biach!
I knew a guy who pronounced Campagnolo 'campalondo', nice try
I admire the euros pronounciation 'campag'.

Blame that on Paul Turner, for calling his company "Rock Shox." As a moto guy, I chuckled to myself the first time I saw the name - - we knew the difference between forks and shocks.
DickyJ - - Maybe we should just call those C'dale abominations a 'tine.'

Tange Prestige?
I think it's pronounced tun-gay pres-teej
But if 'tange' is pronounced 'tun-gay' then why isn't 'prestige' pronounced 'pres-te-gay'?
it don't make sense!
Pop Quiz! Just for fun, lets try this backwards, see if you can guess this common shop supply:
what's 'loka- tee-tay'?

I think they're actually refered to as a Lefty Shock, not a fork at all.

'Strut' would be the most accurate term for a Lefty. I prefer 'abomination' though.
