There are lots of good bikes out there, but its hard to see through the hype.

this review of the 920 says

At its core, Trek’s 920 seems to aim to achieve the same thing as those rule-bound classic touring bikes, but freed the Luddite mentality that is becoming less and less necessary for international touring as bikes get more reliable, and a variety of parts more easily available around the world.
I dont know exactly what this means but its not for Luddites, which has got to be a good thing, I think.

The review is from bikepacking.com, whom I think are more concerned with the luddite threat, than the rest of us.

question: Should Luddite always be capitalized?
