those brakes sounded pretty squeaky, even though they weren't wet. not so good if its supposed to make us want saint... the on/off rock was cool but not to write home about, 2 foot drop off it. still really cool riding, good to see some raw lines once in awhile.

Sick line, love Thomas riding style..so smooth..but i hate the part when they say he's doing this line because he feels confortable with the new saint group. I mean..it's only a derailleur and brakes. Unless those brakes are total crap, he could have done this line in any case.

I dont really see why he is getting neg props. Shimano, like a lot of other companies, has not yet adapted to new riding styles. the revamped saint edition is that answer to SRAM.

That comment about over-seas manufacturing could not be farther from the truth. There is a lot of quality stuff made over seas. Actually the greater majority of bikes/components are made over seas. They not only have access to a lot of newer technology, their labourers work hard.....just for less.

dude, without overseas manufacturing, companies wouldn't ba able to do as much research and development, so there would be less high quality gear.
