How do you feel about Phonak stuff now...
Granted a lot of you don't like the "tour" bikes to start with, but with all that has been going on how do you feel about Phonak branded cycling products now?

off topic but related, I ordered that Phonak jersey for my old roommie (he's a large, they only had large/x-l, saving me the trouble of deciding if I was OCP enough to wear it) and it arrived today. How long ago was that $26 deal? just a couple days ago...

I think I'll buy a Phonak jersey at the discount price,and put it away for a good long while. 20 years from now it will make an interesting conversation piece on group rides.

I've always liked BMC bikes and still do. I've always hated the Phonak team kits and still do.
What's your point? Is it because of the doping allegations? Who really cares. I believe most pros dope anyways so I do not subscribe to the notion that one team is more respectable than another. I believe you're naive if you think that there is not at least one person on any team that isn't doing something illegal.

I'd feel strange wearing team or ride jerseys unless I was a participant.

NEWS FLASH
At least the Phonak TT bikes were Swiss colors this year, red and black. Don't recall if the other bikes were still green and yellow, probably were though. Green and yellow is the color of baby clothes you get when you have a friend who doesn't care to know what sex the baby is, not a great color for a team.
Their bikes are very high tech and superlight. The Easton stuff they run with is amazing, I have an Easton fork and post and they just rule. This nanotube tech they have is the bomb.
