Sorry, that should have been 'detestable'
"An unjustified and unethical imposition on a healthy activity."

Just to digress, looks like there is a very understandable cross-pollination from Sailing technology to biking technology.

Yes, but they are a cracking good shirt!
Also, I will never, ever, EVER buy anything at all from Specialized and will continue to recommend against their products, due to their corporate a-holeness.

mmm.. I would suggest the main cross-pollination and expertise that Neil Pryde brings is their track record for producing high quality goods in low-cost, usually-low-quality, countries - then selling that in the west.elantra wrote:I prefer the new name anyway.

At least "xipp" would sound like another well known brand..
