These days, the shop I frequently visit is near Byclore,
so I checked why Colnago was being displayed there, and it turns out the importer has completely changed.
It switched from Audi Bike to LS Networks, and since a large corporation is now managing it,
I'm excited that they'll be able to provide riders with more stable and smooth service.
(There's even a dedicated Colnago website, so I could really tell they put a lot of effort into it.)
It looks like they're also expanding the Prologo saddle lineup. This was previously under Wix International,
and whenever I reached out about saddles I was interested in, the stock situation wasn't great, and lately almost everything only comes through direct import,
so it was frustrating — this seems like good news.
When I was young, I used to wonder why a place called Byclore was so big, and then I came across information saying that LS Chairman Koo Ja-yeol
has a great love for bicycles. I even looked up some articles separately, and
the headline "What needs to be sold is not the bicycle, but bicycle culture" was truly impressive.
(Safety education, academies, etc.)
While e-bikes are seeing an overwhelming boom, I always want to cheer on the hope of breathing new life
back into the road cycling scene, which has cooled down significantly since the endemic.
*This is a separate topic, but I'm puzzled as to whether Audi Bike
still hasn't imported the Reserve 57 and 64 wheels —
the 42 and 49 should also be popular items, yet they seem to be deliberately listed as out of stock, and I'm worried about what's going on there ㅜ)
