I think they were suggesting I was being too lazy to post a link, but then if I did post a link, someone would be whining that I was shilling for the company or something. In any case, it would have required typing far fewer characters into a search engine than those we have wasted here.

Note that this time I carefully included a link.
Don’t mean to harp on the graphic (the bike itself is nice), but the raised fist sure has a lot of negative connotations. If one has to explain the meaning, perhaps it’s best avoided. Also, something a bit ironic about a gold-plated raised fist head badge on $2,000 bike.
