delirium or uzzi?

well, it sure as shit ain't gonna be the fucking knolly.  i didn't realize until this weekend that all the knolly frames are made in taiwan now and forever, so unless they're selling them for a grand, i would never buy one of those pieces of shit.  if you can't employ american or canadian craftsmen, then you can't charge three fucking grand.  obscene.  and even better, they can't manage to get any delirium frames this year anyway!  what a fucking disaster.  i can only assume that knolly bikes is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of dorel.  if i owned intense cycles or kona bikes, i would have such a fucking hardon now and would be sure to send noel a big ole xmas card every fucking year.  i'd also make sure to play on my american fabrication or huge price advantage in my advertising and spiel to really twist the knife.

and, surprise, surprise, it might not be the uzzi, either!  apparently the test rig isn't gonna be here for a while, a long while, so who the fuck knows when they'll actually be able to deliver a damn frame to a customer?  jeez, what a shit show.
