I understand that in a world of "want to have what the professionals have" it is not nice, but only for the ones who want to copy them, not for the people who are aware of what they buy. thats not only in cycling like this.... so if he wants, he can name his front wheel "bora" and the back wheel "dura ace", I dont care. ;)Stefan R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08575902330058200980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172202953319134786.post-76856701854152587092010-09-27T09:19:14.974-07:002010-09-27T09:19:14.974-07:00The tradition of "branding" bike parts a...The tradition of "branding" bike parts as the product of one company, while everyone knows they're made by someone else is tacky. Whether it's NIKE putting their logo on shoes made by someone else or Campagnolo "BORA" stickers on these wheels, is anyone really fooled? If Pippo wins the WORLDS using those wheels and Campagnolo runs a big ad touting his use of their "BORA" wheelset to gain the rainbow jersey, everyone should cry FOUL because at that point they would be misleading the public and making false claims. If he does win I think they'll be smart enough not to draw attention to the wheels with more than a photo. How often has a race been won on a bike actually made by a small builder in Italy with a sticker on the downtube from a big bike company? Too often, but sadly it's the same way with golf clubs, tennis rackets. etc. Advertising is pretty much unregulated so anyone who believes claims made in them without any investigation can certainly be misled.Larry and Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16346445393389942837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172202953319134786.post-80958210011803712952010-09-27T07:48:39.036-07:002010-09-27T07:48:39.036-07:00@stefan: because it is misleading consumers@stefan: because it is misleading consumersAngelo senza la ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00876175566987717150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172202953319134786.post-57877963915046295612010-09-27T00:45:39.971-07:002010-09-27T00:45:39.971-07:00They're Carbonsports Lightweighs.
