I think you're mixing fantasy fiction metaphors there.

I'll cross that bridgestone when I get to it.

Duplicate thread.:troll:

I wouldn't take anything for Granted.

I'm supposed to remember stuff I write? :lol:

Maybe we could talk about Peter Grant instead.

Can we say it with bike porn, :lol:

This thread may peter out.

Were those brifters "grant-Ed" the curmudgeon blessing? Awful complicated...

That's a very sen thing to say.

And a "plastic saddle", for shame!! ;)

Honestly looks a lot like my X0 wanna-be. Love it.

I don't think we'll ever really know how tall that dude is.

I've found it interesting how Grant's discussions of how marketing has affected bike design has been a vehicle for his own marketing messages.

Which has had me thinking more than once how marketing and "economic" considerations affect all kinds of decision-making in seemingly irrational ways.

It's a strange world, and Grant fits right in...
...as must we all.

Ultimately Grant sent me here. shopping around, and really liked his stuff, but the prices!!@ Started looking for the poor man's rivendell, and stumbled across c and v

I find it hard to be cynical about Grant's marketing messages, since I don't believe they have made him wealthy. He's going against the tide, and he's not winning. He might do better to mouth off the typical "laterally stiff and vertically compliant" BS. I think he sincerely believes the stuff he writes, and he lives by his words, as far as I can tell.

I prefer "firm yet supple".

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice!

Oh let's not start with Jan Heine and his supplometer

I just googled it. Here's one of the first images to pop up..
