Is cynicism a necessity for this forum? I've tried new stuff as I sell it. Some of it has been really brilliant. It has not changed my life. If I could sell the shop contents to cynical folk, that would change my life.
OK... what's been really brilliant? You shouldn't take things literally... I was wondering what's ground breaking and what's just just had a paint job and a 25% price hike.
ok, i'll try...

how can 1 bike be so good at climbing AND descending? - i don't remember Brant asking me exactly what i wanted from a hardtail frame, but he must have been taking notes because it's all in there.
it's life-changing in that i haven't ridden my full bounce bike for about 8months and don't miss it at all...
