Tommy,
I know it sounds that way but when he showed me the problems that he came up against with the seat tube having places for a bottle or pump frame to screw into plus the frame itself I could appreciate the problems that he had. I'm not a dullard and could see that he want trying to take my trousers down. I didnt want a low end wheel set, so no 7sp option. I wante to keep the flat bar again, fewer choices. Had I had the $ I would have bought a Rohloff and Ti frame but I feel I got a good combo for the price I paid.
