OK, that's not a direct quote. He didn't say that specifically, but in today's blog post, Jan *does* debunk the notion that steel frames "go soft" with use. They don't. You can't break in a steel bike and make it get more flexible for comfort and planing, and you can't wear out a steel frame in terms of stiffness. It doesn't get flexier with use. You might break it with use, but you won't make it flexier. Good read and uncontroversial for many of us, but definitely counter to the popular notion in the cycling community in general.
