Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

$1200 for a $15,000 bike.... sure, buy a dozen and sell them on Craigslist to turn a profit.

1200$ for a bike retailing 15000$ is definitely for real.

Please don't google "alibaba."

Just send a check. Chinese vendors can afford to sell bikes for a tenth of their lists prices because of ... cheap labor? Suuuure ......

Sorry guys, the ad is gone. I guess we missed the boat.
But there's a new ad and it comes with Zipp 404s and Dura Ace mechanical only.

Sure, they can go to China and try to sue them. But it seems the only ones that have Chinese trademarks these days are the Trumps.
