Not at all. If you review the comments in this and any other thread taking about technologies developed in cycling since 1980 the tirades begin about how this is nothing but a big bike conspiracy to sell new product. If someone enjoys vintage technology and wants to return to a time and place which has positive memories or in other cases purchase something that was unaffordable in their youth, great stuff and enjoy. But to go on about how some lugged, Columbus tubed, Record equipped, tubular tired straight block bike is performs or rides better than a new Aethos or other current top tier bike is ridiculous.
You mention innovation sub forum for people like me however in this thread we have people debating friction over indexed shifting. This has been around for 40 years!
