I posted this over on MBR, but I thought I'd share it with the roadies too.
I was out riding (in Taiwan) and a guy stops to tell me how much he likes my bike. He then offers up that he owns a bicycle manufacturer that makes mainly "high end" mountain bikes made from carbon fiber and titanium and other exotics. (my ears perk up).
He gives me his card and a little poster with different models etc...
There in HUGE LOOK/Shimano-styled lettering is the name for his baddass mountain bikes:
DORCUS
I had to do all I could to not laugh at him in the face.
I told him to change the name if he tries to sell in the US. Then again maybe he subcontracts for someone else.
FYI-32000 NT Dollars is about $1000 USD
