Hence, it seems most larger companies are catering to the general public by producing the lightest possible bikes. I'm assuming that's why there seems to be less steel out there.
So if you had said in your post, "So in your mind, if all I cared about was the weight of my gear, then I'm ignorant." I would have agreed that you're ignorant.
Does that clear things up?
Yes Bob, it does. It clears up the semantics and the spirit behind your opinion. I apologize for annoying you with my extreme interpretation. It's just that I found your overly broad (dare I say extreme) statement of:
"These bike companies seem to be catering to the ignorant masses who think getting the lightest bike is all that matters. It sucks. Stupid masses." - to warrant an equally nutty response.
If you give, then so shall you receive. Peace.
