Except that the geometry that Specialized has taken on one step at a time for like a decade is what Geometron basically invented. The latest Specialized and Treks took that idea and introduced it to the masses one tiny step per model over years and years. I don't believe these bigger companies could have got there on their own. They needed the niche nerd visionary to test and prove those waters and begin the long slow process of getting the masses to consider new ideas then they jump in and commodify it.
But having a G1 I can tell you it's awesome but it's definitely a monster bike.
