Yes, pal, that's right, it is all subjective. My claim that my bike feels like so and so, and your claim that your bike feels like so and so are on equal subjective ground. One is not more credible or objectibly true than the other. I suggested that is the case a couple of posts before your own post.

You have led yourself to believe that you know me, therefore to pass judgement on my social skills. Does that belief empower you? You actually believe this to be true?

The argument about say the PR or the Swift "feels" indistinguishable from a roadie doesn't imply it feels identical, but rather, it has that typical roadie feel of stiffness, responsiveness and lightness that characterise roadies in general. My Swift definitely feels like a roadie, but it feels radically different from a typical MTB or say a Brompton, the latter which does not feel anything like a MTB or a roadie.

The key word is LIKE. Keep your pixie dust and koolaid ridicule to yourself professor. You may have very nice looking bikes but a very poor social skills. Go home a do some rework there.
