Did you think that "stories" were reserved only for those that fish? If you can't make for a better story than why bother posting in the first place?
My myth is more about the subjective becoming the fact. Blank bike stinks because it was made in Taiwan and etc. Just about all "serious" bikes are well made. It comes down to personal choice. Cube, Canyon, Specialized, Trek, Jamis and etc. are all good bikes. Bikes in the same price range are very similar in specs. and quality. It boils down to what catches your fancy.
