>>2035821Are you that guy who goes "but you can just buy different cranks" when people bitch about bikes coming with ridiculous crank sizes?
I should think it would go without saying that when someone is griping about something autistic related to geometry/parts combos they're not saying the bike is literally impossible to create via DHL/fedex/amazon, but that the bike isn't preconfigured that way
Even unracers, as insufferable and delusional as they can be, don't claim that slow ass bikes aren't a thing. Just that they want their favorite kind of bike to be the default bike that every shop pushes aggressively and every manufacturer puts on clearance once a year for 35% off
Like obviously I can buy the NIB gravel frameset on facebook marketplace and the tools to face the BB shell and headtube and maybe sell the fork for something more to my taste, and then I like it except for this short list of things I couldn't get around, obviously I can buy a full build that is "mostly correct" and sell half the parts on ebay (I already do that with any bike), the issue here is how many steps you have to take before the bike is "mostly optimal"
