Hong Kong got bling....
Yo Peeps!
I'm back early from my trip to HK due to a bad case of gastro, but I did manage to see few bike related bling while I was there thanks to my mate who knew a few bike shops around town. Most of these bikes are from this guys private storage. So off we went to his warehouse. These bikes won't make alot of sense in Australia, but they certainly made my mouth water when i saw the parts on these things....and it kinda sums up up what the bicycle scene is in HK. Bling over Function. And I also managed to go for a ride on one of these bikes one morning, guess which one i chose.....LOL (Hint: I got ass raped BIG TIME!!!!) 7.6kg Merlin!!!  6/4  Dura-Ace Mech and 12-27 Cassette  32g UltraLevers feels suprisingly solid and Some japanese brand grip shift can't remember the name but suppose to be the lightest....  Clacicula!!!... OMG!!!  Extralite, I'm pretty sure it's right....  Lovely engraved Merlin Works Logo  Magnesium!...

Hmmm... i was kinda disappointed though at what the bikes shops had to offer at the time...... I was yay close to buying a 2010 Mojo SL for peanuts.....but I already have the BLT.... I was offered the Attitude at a price i couldn't refuse as well..... but after i got ass raped I had a sour taste in my mouth...  Having said that i have a few upgrades on the way for the BLT
