I commend Jan for following his passion and making a very welcome business out of it. I'd urge every interested person to read his blog and his paper publication and carefully consider what he and his contributors have written.
But after that, take what has been written with a grain of salt. I promise that every one of Jan's opinions is perfectly true - for Jan, for today. Some others may share aspects of Jan's body type, riding style, personality, or general preferences, and some chords may ring true. But for others, there's no need to wear Jan's clothes if they don't fit. I'm thinking of commuters and recreational riders who ride 6000+ miles per year on, say, a tire that Jan didn't review favorably or on a bike that doesn't have Jan's optimal steering geometry (i.e. most bikes). I'm thinking of people who ride relatively slowly for an hour or two most days taking pictures, but would never think PBP, or even a 200k, sounds like a good time. Jan is a sort of like a famous wine connoisseur. If he says Wine X is good but Wine Y is swill, and you try both and find your preferences are the exact opposite, then his opinion is worthless to you, and you shouldn't lose sleep worrying that you're not tasting your wines correctly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
