While the corporate histories are useful, leaves out much. Like the Agressive lawsuits to get royalties, for Trek, Schwinn and others.. ultimately being shot down as the concept of an oversize alloy welded tube construction bike was not new, unique and patentable.
I think the bikes are great, and started a big trend, but when the lawsuits first started, I thought, I've seen guys racing on something like that already...In the pages of Competitive Cycling...(remember that rag?)
My brother has a Top Gun, still a cool bike. But Garish graphics.
