We do not usually promote products on our blog. Partly it's because we think that you can have just as fun on a cheap bicycle with budget components as on a really expensive bicycle with top-of-the-range components. Actually, as long as your components work you probably have more fun on your cheap bicycle, since you don't have to worry about damaging it or having it stolen. And you can tell the snobs with their fancy gear to get bent. Partly it's because we are against the snobbery of the bicycle sport - we love to tell the snobs to get bent. Partly it's because we are Socialist. And partly it's because we suspect no one would give us products to promote them anyway.
And as much as we love Italy and Italian bicycle products (we do, usually) these
Mavic wheels are just plain cool. If we had about 1470 € just lying around we would go out and buy these. (They would look amazing on an old French steel road bicycle.) But we don't have 1470 € just lying around and these wheels are a limited edition of only 6000 sets so... Congratulations to you who got a pair.
If you want to read more about it, go here. And we didn't take the photo so thanks in advance and respect to the photographer and to http://www.bikerumor.com, where we found the photo.
