This discussion seems to be turning into a forum on the present focus of the company. With a lot of values coming into it.
Reminds me of when I was "cold shouldered" out of some off (paved) road riding/racing in the mid to late 1980's because I wasn't part of the initial phenom on Mt. Tam. 2000 miles from where I live. And how I'm starting to feel now because I don't (a) ride fixed gear only; (b) ride brevets and try to beat everyone's time. Seems like folks are more into exclusion than anything these days. You'd think that after living my entire life being excluded would be used to it. Guess my skin ain't thick enough yet.
