I am going to give you some advice. I mean this honestly with no malice. I am trying to help:
You only get a hard time when you give out unsound advice. If you had just said: "Go with the vig
because it doesn't have as agressive of geometry, which is usually better for longer saddle time" no one would bat an eye because that's a true statement and your opinion is tied to it. It's when you take a matter-of-fact stance on things that simply aren't true or are unfounded or go against tried and true axioms (ie. Sheldon Brown), that you get crap.
Saying that it's "the frame of choice for most cinelli track bike cyclists" is mumbo jumbo. What, exactly, cinelli track bike cyclist? I don't know anyone who fits that description, do you? Do you know someone, let alone 'most' people, that has owned both frames and says they prefer the Vig for longer rides over the Bolt?
Do you see where I'm going, here? I hope so. Again, I'm just trying to help you catch less flack. Do more absorbing of information and spend less time trying to come off as "the one who knows." You don't, yet.
