Is a SON28 really 2x better than a Shimano 3N80?
Is a Thomson post really 2x better than a VO Grand Cru?
Are VO stainless fenders 2x better than PB Freddy HCs?
Probably not... but it makes me smile when people tell me how nice my bike looks.
A friend of mine only rides Thomson seatposts, he claims that he has broken every other seat post he's tried. I suppose that's a good enough reason. Although I have yet to break even a single seatpost myself, its still a good reason.
and the VO fenders are definitely twice as pretty as the Planet Bikes...
