With a little internet research and determination, anyone can put together a spectacular bike with top-end components for a fraction of what bike shops charge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4786784182488135171.post-10306435511496895782009-06-30T21:21:44.030+04:002009-06-30T21:21:44.030+04:00Beautiful writing - that hurts.Gonna have to go gi...Beautiful writing - that hurts.<br><br>Gonna have to go give my CAAD8 some love now.

But its interesting that at my bike shop, there's always a few hard-pressed individuals from the neighbourhood touring the bike shop, marvelling at the luxuries of capitalism they could never dream to even touch, leave alone buy. Its funny, also a little sad.Philnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4786784182488135171.post-25622939094797203782009-06-30T00:28:03.462+04:002009-06-30T00:28:03.462+04:00Nice one!
