Tech72 said:Agreed, it's a shame that many of the pedigreed Euro marques are no longer represented at the highest pro racing level. The multi-national (US-Asian), large scale production companies like Specialized, Giant, Trek, Cannondale, etc. are taking over. No doubt these newer brands are producing top-notch rides, but I do miss the old school names like Peugeot, Gios, Masi (the original, not the new "Masi"), Cinelli, among others.
I suppose that in a few years and with countless wins to their names, Giants and Cannondales will be regarded as "classics" along the same line as the Colnagos and Pinarellos.
Not to me. trekspecializedgiantcannondale are the Chevy Novas of the peloton. Mass produced....
