Shimano shipment stolen
Bad news: your new bike may be further delayed.
Good news: you may finally be able to get that Shimano groupset you've wanted. Just wear asbestos gloves when you pick it up.

My guess is that the truck driver was given a bunch of Korunas to take a long walk while the truck was cleaned out.

I have this picture in my mind from early episodes of “The Sopranos” when Christopher was trying to come up but he gets his ass beat because none of Tony’s crew gives a damn about cycling. .

So the fire extinguisher trick does what? Obscures finger and she prints, and just generally makes recovering physical evidence difficult? Apparently effective, simple, and clever!

I'm never going to get my new bike with the Shimano Ultegra Di2 R8100 12 speed groupset. I ordered it at the end of September and was told it would ship in April. Two weeks ago, I was told I'd have it in May. I think I'll be lucky to get it by the end of THIS September at this point.

Am I the only one who thinks Bike Fun International sounds like a Google Translate error?

We are proud that every bike that leaves the Bike Fun International production line is treated in this way in the best possible way
