Personally, I think it's good that all these new triple triangle frames are coming out and devaluing the GTB and Pulse... cuz then I can get one for myself for cheaper.

justfitme was gonna sell me his GTB complete for really cheap, but it was one size too big. The "54cm" GTB's have 56cm top tubes, IIRC. Second time in a row that has happened to me. Womp.

I sold it anyway. But not for that cheap. I was so confused with selling-not-selling, that I decided to raise the price and if nobody will take it, then I will keep it. It was sold next day.
have no regrets at all.
I may look boring but I like regular and usual Langster better...

I pretty much view you as Carleton in real life, on a track bike. This may not be far from the truth, considering you have a pretty sweet bike with an SRM, and Carleton from Fresh Prince is pretty yoked.

All the iPhone spinoffs have pressured apple to keep innovating and keep their prices down (but only slightly because they're apple :P). That argument makes even less sense since the iPhone is still in production - GT isn't getting any more money out of triple tri track frames. The dilution of their market value doesn't matter much to GT now since they don't even offer them anymore.

QFT. There's a blurry line between what is and what isn't a copy but calling it a copy just because it has three triangles is a little overkill, just as yummy said about aluminum frames with big downtubes and cutaway seat tubes. (stuff)
