Of course it's true. I'm not lying.

Your impression is that "few people owned GDs from 2004-2006" so I couldn't have been late to the party.

You need to read my previous response where I...

Using your "logic," everyone should stop doing things that others perceive to put them at risk, even when there is no risk. What a crappy world that would be,

Since I switched to 760s years ago, and 800s in 2012, I've done lift-served riding twice. Wide bars were designed for much more than merely coming down open ski runs (who actually does that rather...

Lotsa coverage, including folks raving about them (ex: Biker - Editor's choice 2005).

Got it. My mistake. Your opinion that droppers are the best innovation in recent years is unfounded and based on a serious misunderstanding of the facts. Since they've been around for over a decade.

Discussing bikes on a bike forum is trolling?

Asking about your uninformed claim and then educating you is trolling?

That's an odd, a very defensive, response on your part.

Fact:

I bought my first Gravity Dropper in 2005. They had already been out for a few years.
