Gyro cables together with a front cable.

What is so weird about a GT piston stem? The dark purple shade looks almost black. To me, the frame, bars and stem are relatively normal, and the rest is a rainbow thrown thru the blender. Its his personal taste.

We need uncoordinted bikes to appreciate the coordinated ones. [Image Can Not Be Found]

Only if you refuse to buy it because its the Chinese who make it. Not if you want to support local jobs.

Damn you crazy cats and your logical answers.. But the query is more about the ethics involved in producing something.

I'd agree with Dave on that one. But although your reasons would be supporting local made products or quality, I'd still keep it on the low.
Some will be quick to call it racist. Also, the quality of Chinese/Taiwanese made products is improving, and Aussie companies often need the Chinese manufacturing to stay in business.

It is said the Japanese made products were bad quality at the beginnings, and they quickly improved to be amongst the best in the world. Similar will happen to Chinese/Taiwanese products, just not at the speed and level of the Japanese. De ja vu.

No, boycotting on the basis of a good or services country of origin is not racist at all. However, if you refused to buy something on the basis that it was a Chinese person who made it - a Chinese migrant working in Australia, for instance - then that could reasonably be construed as racist.

That said, good luck trying to put either of these principles into practice. [Image Can Not Be Found]

Not racist but is parochial.

(not me from another forum)

"
Reverse tech support:

Me: Hi our internet is broken

Them: The internet can't break-

Me: Your DSL modem is causing NAT issues with my router and making it impossible for me to properly enable port forwarding so that people can connect to my ventrilo server or so I can play Supreme Commander. Moreover your DSL modem is old as balls and constantly drops our connection.

Them: Your internet is broken, we'll send you a technician and a new one.

---Later---

Me: Our internet is extremely slow and I'm pretty sure it's still the DSL modem. At least now it's not disconnecting all the time.

Technician: Let me do a speed test. Yep, your internet is fine, connecting to our private speed test server shows you're at full speed.

Me: The internet is not on your server

Technician: Yeah it is, that's how you're getting to it

Me: And they let you use anything more technologically advanced than a pencil?

Technician (under desk): What?

Me: Nevermind...
