What….that 'speaking the truth' attitude? 650B, 29ers, dropper posts, oval
rings (and I'm not talking Biopace….) etc were all around in the 1980's. Not
much is really new at the moment. Just incremental changes in this years
exciting new colours and marketed to hell. That's not to say that current
bikes aren't much better than they used to be but these days we get creaking
CSUs, knackered down tubes from shuttle pad damage and other such delights
that we never used to get. Not exactly revolutionary. Maybe off the back of
E-bikes there might be an option to buy products that weigh a bit more but
don't fail if you sneeze on them.
