This reminds me of talking to the owner of a local TREK dealership, when I mentioned I would be looking for a good touring bike, he immediately informed me that I had no choice but to custom order a titanium frame since (and I quote), "nobody makes touring frames anymore, and a touring frame might get scratched." I guess "nobody" is a collective trade name for Surly, Soma, Trek and two or three dozen other brands including Rivendell.
Oh Yeah, I do wear a helmet, and the Hunqapillar will be getting SPD pedals.
