His whole post was about the interesting characteristics of the bike. Actually he started a good conversation about bike design. You came back with an attack on OP and suggested he is not qualified to talk about this bicycle, because he has never completed an IM and likely rides slower than the subject cyclist. On what planet is that reasonable, and more to the point: what is your problem?
