Hey [165] whats your determination of whether a corporation is major or not? I mean there are plenty of companies/corporations that are profitting off fixed gear cycling. is there some cutoff date that determines which are good/old/original/whatever and which are just jumping on the bandwagon for profits? I can understand the whole making a material to get people interested in something without explaining it all and how to do it safely. but thats the very point of marketing, to hook you and get you to spend your money and figure out what you actually bought later on; and yes the larger the company the more often they just use an ad agency to make something eye-catching and there is not much of a connection to the actual industry or target population.
