I like how you think that the fact that most of us are on the same standard is some kind of justification for the industry to not come and turn everything upside down. I miss the days when buying Chris King anything was a big deal, a personal coming of age - that you'd grown up (as a bike nerd) and committed to the good stuff, _for life_. Few other parts had that effect except maybe a custom titanium frame, or maybe Chris King hubs. I like your optimism that things are settled.
