    Praiseworthy because &quot;Timo Noko&quot; is mentioned as a customer. Those bicycles were good but dirt cheap, maybe even 1&#x2F;10 of Raleigh or Shimano.

      Shimano never sold complete bikes.

        Although, fun fact, there are complete bikes badged Shimano. The neutral support bikes in the TdF are Canyon Ultimates from 10 years back with Shimano branding. The TdF is full of such truth-bending in the name of sponsorship, see also Lance climbing on a Litespeed with Trek branding.

          Yes the same way Mavic were carrying Mavic branded Cannondales a decade or so ago.
