I don't know whether you've gotten the memo, but Europeans are a tiny minority on our planet, less than 10% of world population, and the continent ceased to be the center of the world several decades ago. Living in a self-important, anachronistic bubble, you still think in terms of Europe. As if that means anything to the bulk of humanity. Sorry, I am under no such mental strictures. I think globally. Europe, GMAFB. Get some perspective, will ya.
Now, what about the Tikit's chain-stays? Are they too long? I mean, a couple of months ago you sprung up the BS that 40cm long chain stays (on the FSIR Spin) were too long leading to "weird geometry". It's all recorded in the forum record. If true, the Tikit has even weirder geometry and your Birdy with even longer chain-stays is weirder still.
What were you thinking? Were you so desperate to land a feeble punch, if just once, that you resorted again (remember your Korean beaches BS?) to actually making up bogus claims? 🙄
