This forum is here for bike shops to get info to the MMBA community. This isn't the place for petty insults. Your opinions of the individuals involved should be handled in a private message, on facebook, in person, etc.
Show some restraint.

You act like being called a carnival barker is an insult or something.

Yes, that's a 1x10 set up with the new SRAM XX. The way this bike sits it is 20.5 pounds. This particular bike isn't in the shop right now, but you can check it out if you are at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show this weekend in Scott Quiring's booth!

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

A portion of all the King "Pretty and Strong" components goes towards the Susan G. Komen foundation to raise awareness for breast cancer research. More about that here: http://chrisking.com/prettyandstrong

I did, but please note that I was talking about the pink components; not the bike overall. In this case, specifically the Hope brakes. Everything else on there just happens to be pink, and looks quite nifty.
And yes, I did see the Koman stuff. I just didn't mention it, because I've got no issue with it.
