When I first saw one, I was about 19 and it was hanging on the wall in Turin Cycles in Chicago, about 1972 or so. I was in those days into lusting over beautiful bikes, and that's how I became interested.

Bottom line on that blurb: it's just a blurb. Focus on the bikes, and make your own judgment. Do you believe Keds shoes really made you run your fastest and jump your highest?
