When I was a Reader subscriber, I was always saddened and alienated when Grant would assert that certain things were stupid, inferior, a fraud, a lie, a hoax, blah, blah, blah. I always wished that he would figure out that it's sufficient to be different and to promote an alternative. It's not necessary to make derogatory comments -- facts, as one sees them, are more persuasive. I think that "Xxx may be popular, but we feel that yyy is a desireable alternative -- or more desireable -- for the following reasons" is much more more appealing to me than "Xxx is a big fat lie". I've got bikes hanging in the garage that range from full-race (no more carbon frames, as it happens, titanium instead, but certainly carbon forks) to classic and neo-classic steel, to a rather tasty classic townie conversion with rubber pedals. I enjoy and appreciate all of them. Shrug. pb, who thoroughly enjoys riding in fast pacelines, and who also thoroughly enjoys relaxed and aimless solo cruises
