I too am a big Jan Heine admirer. He is a very bike smart guy, but he is confused about two things, not evident in the posted blog. First, riding fast and riding far are two different things. Both can be fun, but as you combine the two, fewer and fewer people actually enjoy it. Second, bikes and components are not necessarily faster or better because they were first made in France. I would be happy to put my Ram, with mostly USA made components, up against any bike costing not more than twice as much on any two to four hour ride, which is about all that I or most riders actually enjoy.
