Lighten up, Francis. Except OP and you, pretty much everyone else here is being pretty polite even when they disagree.
Only point I'm making is sometimes people lose perspective on how much "serious" cycling is done on very cheap equipment. Don't try to enlist me in your holy war.
I think you might have something interesting to say about the Grant Petersen paradox--he seems to be writing about bikes for the "everyman" potential rider, but he builds bikes for people who are willing to pay relatively large sums for bikes whose primary appeal are reliability and opulence. Think you could drop the baseball bat and actually write substantively on topic for a change?
