the term "replica" has been misused for so long that we've come to accept it.

http://www.differencebetween.com/differenc...ca-and-vs-fake/

to me, if it's a fake, just call it a fake la. the worst kind of sellers are those who refuse to admit that they sell fake stuff. don't believe me? try la asking some of those fellas over at bbs selling fake stuff

i remember years back, there were "Grade A" stuff. and then some of them claim their stuff as "Grade AA" to distinguish from their competitors. now "Grade AAA". after this? "Grade A-hole"?

abuse, but not too much.. don't take your bike for granted.. or else, it'll plot and wait for the right time when you are riding and snap somewhere sending you tumbling all over the road...
*
what i mean is, too careful until too scared to take out the bike for a spin. i have some scratches because a strong wind blew and toppled the bike over from the stand, and top tube got scraped by a concrete pillar. damn. stupid mistake. i'll post a picture when i have time

So I was browsing through some of the overseas cycling forums and happened to came across this one thread, and one of the poster did made me realized about what a good bicycle is, at least to a mere mortal cyclist like us (working professional with weekend rides).
In short, i've concluded that what I need is a good quality bike that can bring me to places..enjoy the ride and journey..becoming healthier, and such. Getting the same bike as the pros will not make me any faster, but i'll gain the cool factor and a thinner wallet. A good quality bike, that looks nice to your eyes. Am I changing my target from the SL4 to some Italian beauty? In the end it's gonna be the same lor..good and cool looking bikes is all expensive and at least pro-tour level..I'm back to square one!  doh.gif

My lbs shop told me my Sidi ergo 2 colour very "interesting" and most of the staff were shocking.gif  shocking.gif  shocking.gif  maybe perhaps Australia distro did not sell it.

Sidi is made from leather too? Therefore taking care that it lasts its lifespan, maybe a second pair is a good idea for rotation. Miao Gor, mini, group buy ok?

sidis are made of lorica. synthetic stuff. it won't stretch. i already have two pairs. maybe u should ask vinann or butthead to join ur group buy

buy bont la...

or the new shimanos are also with moldable insoles...
best to stay away from moldable stuff if you have water retention issues at your feet... if not, and you mold it to fit snugly fit... you'll have problems when your feet swell a bit

how do i know i have that water retention issues? what's that anyway?
