The ultimate bicycle brand name

I imagine two Japanese welders talking after making their first
frame...

"So, what should we call it?"

"We should call it something evocative - something that really tells
our customers just how light, how fast, this bicycle really is!"

"But what about English? English words are cool - let's call it
something in English!"

"You're right - that's a good idea. Flip open that English dictionary
over there and pick a cool sounding word..."

That's a Japanese bike with Campy parts?!? I wonder what Shimano thinks of
that?

Los Angeles has an indoor wooden track? I was at the olympics in 84 and the
venue was an outdoor concrete number...in torrence I think.

Where is this track and when was it built? Looks incredible.

Probably something unprintable about not being able to do better than
Ghibli wheels anytime in the last 20 years...

Just completed ADT Event Center, part of the new Home Depot Center on the
Cal State Dominguez Hill Campus, roughly 150 yards south of where the old
Olympic Velodrome sat.

Oh, no. Is Bridgestone Cycle Co. associated with Bridgestone Tires? I was
going to say, that's actually a very nice-looking bike.

He is using the MKS EXA pedal with a cleat that uses a 3 bolt hole pattern
like a LOOK cleat that also uses a pin lock mechanism in the back . You step
in push down and the cleat locks in. Toe straps keep you foot down and snug.
the are secure enough to use without toeclips

Probably just what Ernesto Colnago thinks about Rabobank hanging Shimano on
his frames.

That is actually Ernesto Colnago's preference as he has had a long standing
animosoty wirth Campagnolo

Is that why he has on occasion manufactured his own cranksets? I could have
sworn about a dozen years ago I saw one with a * 6 * arm spider.

Then why does the team bearing Colnago's name (Landbouwkrediet-Colnago) use
campagnolo?

There are more Italian bikes with Shimano parts: Willier, formerly Fassa's
Pinarellos bikes, Carrera...
