Brad - In defence of the bike industry (of which I am not a part of) I can see their need for incremental change. People who buy bikes from bigger companies do not place the same sort of blind faith in the creators of such bikes as say a Geometron purchaser would. Someone who purchases a Geometron knows Chris Porter knows his stuff and while it may take some time for you to adapt to a Geometron it will be worth it in the long run. If a bigger bike company were to do this it makes their older bikes instantly outdated and may alienate customers who are looking to buy new bikes.
Anyway who really cares what bigger bike companies do if you want the latest cutting edge bike - because it's not coming from them anyway.
I do understand your sceptisim of bigger bike companies though.
