>>2058614it's for people who have a chip on their shoulder about things not lasting forever. usually spergy, skinnyfat white males with a wound collector mentality. they've been KEKED by Big Bicycle one too many times, fool me once shame on you fool me twice I won't get fooled again. they probably weren't even cucked but it's just their paranoid way of going through life. they're on the looking for Planned Obsolescence boogyman that's out to GITCHA. the timeline is:
-need bike
-not this, not that, oh that will rust, oh galvanic corrosion, oh muh fatigue cycles, ugh carbon? no!
-ahhhh yes titanium, it doesn't rust, it's invincible, just like me!
-spends an entire paycheck on it, YES this is the FINAL bike!
-fast forward 10 years
-needs a new everything because it's all worn out
-finds out all the standards have changed and he has to hunt for NOS at ripoff hipster prices
-oh it turns out I kind of do want thru axle, I kind of do want bigger tires
-sheepishly sells it on craigslist to the next sucker and buys a plastic bike with clearance for 32mm tires
