Not a sub. My remark about him not knowing what a hillsen is stems from enquiring on his blog about his reasoning for characterizing it as he did and then reading his response of "It’s not an issue of comfort, but of performance. Whether the A. Homer Hilsen is overbuilt or not is hard to say without having ridden one." My skepticism about the importance of main triangle tube diameter is based on my impressions of a Gios and a Hillsen's ride qualities and some simplistic mechanics based theorizing. I also enquired about that but I don't think he responded on that aspect of the thing. If you can point me to any open source description of the basis for his views on tube diameter, or even a more complete explanation of what those views are, I would appreciate it. My other remarks are just how his presentation in his blog strikes me. Not just the one thread but still I was likely being overly snarky and ought to take a chill pill or something (like maybe go ride a bike).
