New American (hipster chinese grandpas)

I few months ago when I was changing buses where the north third rings road turns south I saw what I had quickly deemed to be a figment of my imagination, two nondescript Chinese yéye (grandpa) riding casually on very high-end Italian road bikes. Yesterday I was in that same area again and in need of a little bike repair myself. After stepping in to the local Giant shop, which is known to be one of the better ones around town, I ran into yéye number one and his two Colnagos. A couple minutes later yéye number 2 showed up on his ride, pipe in mouth. By this point I was pretty confused so I decided to ask them why they have these really sweet bikes and they told me, "because they go fast".
