The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Going to get worse in the West too. Chinese (I think) carbon pushing hard into pro' teams, X-Lab if I recall rightly. Suppliers of whole bikes. If they get the distribution chain and customer service side set up properly, they will be a real force.

There is an article about Chinese carbon bikes in this weeks Cycling weekly.

Cracking looking bikes, tbh.

No a different one.

Two cycling journalists with differing opinions on whether the Chinese will take over supplying bikes to the pro peloton in the future.

They'll rerun the whole lot sometime.

They'll rerun the whole lot sometime.

It's probably all on ITVx as we speak.

They could watch it all from the beginning then.
