grant's marketing of 650b is haughty masquerading as populist. that's my opinion about 584, when other manufacturers are able to use 559 or 571 or 622 as effective wheel sizes. Why not AE-3 or the S-6?
the pedigree of french bikes. nice. maybe grant can bring back the french bottom bracket
along with it.
a constructuer poseurfest.
Well mate, (depening how much over 40) I've got at least a decade on you, started working in the industry at 16, started touring over 40 years ago ... blah,blah, blah.
Who cares. My question would be what kind of service you are giving to your customers, if you are so blinkered that you can't see the viability of another option.
