No, it's not. That you don't immediately know what it means doesn't mean that the terms are presumptuous, it just means that you're not up to speed.

So there's no benefit to something unless you can personally measure it? While you may not see the value in specific, small optimizations, in and of themselves, it doesn't mean that they're not there...

I bet - the bars on my gravel bike feel wide to me, too, more so that I would have guessed for 2cm difference. I suppose it's possible that they're being measured differently, though, and the the...

Hey! Stop being deliberately obtuse! :lol: When it comes to completely internal routing, it's pretty sweet and should have been done sooner (though I'd be just as happy with external routing that's...

The (what I would call) modular integrated cockpit on the current Madone SLRs has that freedom - you can change out the bars, rotate the bars (within reason), and go to different stem lengths. I...

I 100% feel that any bike that comes with a one-piece bar/stem needs to have a free swap to a unit with the width/reach of the customer's choice (within reason) - I think that it just makes too much...

Cool, but I stand by the part that the form factor and logistics that allow it in vehicles isn't going to fly on performance-oriented and fully self-propelled bikes.

The really narrow set-ups do look gross, particularly with the flared drops and levers angled. Horrendous.

You're underestimating vanity. I think that I'm a pretty practical guy, but I'll make concessions for a bit of bling, now and then, particularly on my flagship bike. If I'm reasonably confident that...

Do cars no longer have emergency brake levers?...

Do cars no longer have emergency brake levers? I'm aware of regenerative braking, obviously, but I assume there's quite a bit redundancy in there, the weight and complexity of which is allowable and...
