2. In what? Also, drivetrain peaked at 2x9
3. Discs are better all round
8. No opinion, but it seems like one of those brands that spring on trends, tons came and went over the years
10. No. Crank length is quite flexible, but I feel most comfy on 180mm ( I'm 6'5" ), and went as low as 152 when I was toying with recumbents
11. No opinion
12. Frame material is irrelevant. Fit > all
14. No opinion
17. Possibly. There is a strong trend in cycling for buying fashion instead of tools. Slammed -> Looks good
18. True
20. Its ZOOM, not Ritchey
21. Road - no. Unless major downhills are involved. But even then longer frames, shorter stems and slacker head angles are lighter ( mtb style ) and provide the same stability.

26. Dayum no
27. No

31. Yes
35. See 17. Most people ride on saddles bought with something else then fit in mind.
