Fuji superlight bikes
My recent journey of looking for new bikes and hunting for carbon bikes reminds me of the stories about the "Acres of Diamond about envy and wanderlust and the idea that the other mans lawn is always greener. The story of "Acres of Diamond" was about an Indian who dreamed of riches from Diamond. So he sold his land and set for South Africa where stories were rife with diamonds that can be mined from rivers and beaches. But lo and behold, a mining company laid the stakes all ready to all the sites and the poor Indian could not get his hand on diamonds
Poor and feeling a failure, the Indian returned to his native land India where he eventually died. He was buried in the land where he used to leave and lo and behold, the grave diggers found plenty of diamond, now the center of diamond mines in India.
Moral lesson: you do not have to look far for opportunities or better deal.
Now for the past several weeks being afflicted with upgraditis, I have spent a great deal of time searching for better bike frames especially carbon: Cannondale, Scott, Bianchi (it all started with that) mag aabang sa bike replica ni Atty. Fortun etc. I must have looked like a fool doing that.
I even planned to return the Fuji carbon bike yesterday to its original seller. And the seller offered to give me only P30,000 for the carbon frame set, Campy Record and the carbon fiber frame and fork.
But after reviewing the video and other literature, I have in my hand one of the lightest carbon frameset in the world. (Mga 700 grams nga ba?) One of the lightest bike in the world weigh less than 5 kg and its made by Fuji. Mine weighs about less than 7 (6.5 kg) The Mosso bike weighs about 8.2
Ano kayai ituloy ko ang proposed deal ko sa Willier owner?
