why does the innate quality, durability, comfort, soulfullness and suitability for practically any purpose of 80s - 90s rigid steel framed mtbs from the mid range and above make consoomers seethe so hard? I just don't get it. If someone told me that I could save 75% of my budget and get something infinitely superior and rarer that will only increase in value and last a lifetime if well looked after, instead of being tricked into yet another annual purchase of some throwaway plastic chinkshit trash heap, well, I'd be cock-a-hoop with joy and overwhelmed with sincere gratitude.
picrel - a titanium competition specced classic AND a hand built steel framed masterpiece can both be yours for less than a shitty plastic modern Trek turd, and let's be honest about it you aren't a downhill competitor, you're a fucking LARPer who just needs to get to work but wants to project an image created for you by executives at a marketing firm who just want your money.
WAKE UP!
