Sorry, no Asian made product can be considered bling however falsely advertised as "Made in [insert your preferred boutique country]" it is.
That said, I am an Asian, just so people don't label me prejudice. http://homepage3.nifty.com/ClassicBi...andonneur3.JPG Toei ;) |

I mean come on! We all KNOW it's a LOOK already!!!! You don't need the word "LOOK" on the fork SIX times!!!!! I think they're even worse than Cannondale in terms of writing their name on their frames. It's almost like reading the bible! Go with a Cervelo instead. Notice how the word "LOOK" comes up 18 times only on one side of the bike!!!!! EDIT: Someone already beat me to it while I was adding those highlights to the pic!!!!! LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK,....etc..... Annoying as heck isn't it********** |

http://www.pbase.com/colorchange/ima...5/original.jpg For example - 404 Clinchers and a very lightweight frame - a no no in the fast catagory. Also the group is not top of the line for the Manufacturer, another no no. . nice bike/frameset regardless but just a couple things that keep it out of the blingy zone. |

- 50 for Zipp clinchers, -20 for mismatched zipp stickers, and -1,000 for a chain that looks like you left your bike in the rain for 2 months.

I'd take issue with that premise.
Also it would rule out several Colnagos, and Cervelos (IIRC Canadian comany with Asian manufacturing.) Your Giant is sure nice, heck the graphic is better than most European branded bikes (Storck, Canyon, Look, etc.), but I wouldn't consider it bling, YMMV. |

All the bling that I could afford. |

As for the Zipps, the rear PT wheel was acquired after the set of 404's and Zipp changed the decals. As for the clinchers: http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ewart/303s.jpg |
Much better! I don't think it's the lighting though with the chain because you can see how black it is in relation to your chainring.
|
Just get a chain cleaner. no biggy. -cough-engine-cough
|
Your TCR is nice man, props.

How did you get that bike to stand up, colorchange?
|
Bling
Look at the Kuota Framesets: Both Kredo and Khan:
Look at Full Carbon Fiber for color, no paint. Mix w/Black or Black/silver wheels. Watch them drool. |
