What kind dumbass name is Kurgan Gringioni?
That is not a real Italian name... he is just wannabe
Italian.. just because the Italians make really pretty bikes


"Kurgan Gringioni" is really rec.bicycles.racing's Henry Chang, self-described as "bald and ugly as f**k".
He originated the salutation "dumbass" as far as I know, but its universal charm has led to its adoption by several others.
Newbies occasionally must be told that this is said with great affection.
