Riding too hard or hardly riding? Cycling in Taiwan vs Overseas

He had the thing for a year? It looks brand spankin new. How does a grown assed man not feel shame at the circus he created?

The ol classic, nothing can be wrong with me, I make millions of dollars, so it has to be the bike and the people who sold it to me.

I was a bit confused when reading the initial article and some cyclists were saying how the store wasn’t professional and they would never buy from there again. After re-reading it, seems like all those who left comments were all of Mr Wu’s friends.

At this rate, they will probably be going to the coffee shop they ride to to complain about that the coffee is too hot and sue or buy F10s and complain the bikes don’t fit them…a year after they’ve made the purchase.

Is he fat? because if he’s fat I will really hate him.

Unless he sells me the bike for 30k.

“…insisted on […] pro pelOtOn…”?

I think that is all we need to know.

Bell. End.

Actually, I’m rather envious. If he can’t get comfortable with a frame only 1.5cm difference, he must be something of a thoroughbred. I’d love to see his palmares

3 cappuccinos, six lattes, a toasted croissant and two maple waffles

The Trek store that Mr Wu went to has responded.

Another pro pelOtOn bike. Trek Madone for 88k?

Oh man this is golden.

We’re getting there… gOOd lad

flatlandr · May 25, 2018, 7:17am

So it was a matter of bulge in the back pocket to make up for the front?

mad_masala · May 25, 2018, 7:19am

I don’t understand… what’s up with the Madone?

flatlandr · May 25, 2018, 7:24am

Mr. Wu asked for a bike in the pro peloton

ranlee · May 25, 2018, 7:28am

The shop in which Mr Wu bought his F8 from is using the publicity to make sales and is poking fun at Mr Wu.

mad_masala · May 25, 2018, 7:31am

Er… does the ad say something like “get a PRO peloton level bike like the Madone 9 for only 90k”?

Anyway, the guy turned out a super idiot.

ranlee · May 25, 2018, 7:35am

Doesn’t specifically say it, but it’s implied.

The post mentions a few times “Don’t worry about the 340k and size of an F8. Now you can bring home a Trek Madone 9 for 88k!”

mad_masala · May 25, 2018, 7:40am

Yeah, that’s what I meant.

Well deserved.

flatlandr · May 25, 2018, 7:44am

Haha good on them

ColT · May 25, 2018, 7:46am

I almost feel I should send him this, and direct him to Rule #5

ranlee · May 25, 2018, 7:51am

The f is rule #105…I thought it only went up to 95?

ColT · May 25, 2018, 8:08am

Crikey - this seems to be auto correcting…

ColT · May 25, 2018, 8:11am

type rule #5 and hit enter

weird…

rule #105

mad_masala · May 25, 2018, 9:08am

Maybe I’m wrong, but you sent this before, right? or maybe it was another forumosan…
