Debate is good because it sinks you deeper into what you already believe. Just like OP who titles thread with a question mark but already has their answers.

Damn. So close.

Typos and auto-correct matter too.

Good article on singletracks a few years back. They mentioned how high end bikes were much lighter than say a 1500 to 2000$ bicycle. Those cheaper bikes have heavier parts that could very well last longer than the lighter expensive parts. Although many don’t believe this.

I do do believe it.

Your lesson for today:

Not every reply is about you.

See my previous post for a perfect example of this fact.

In future threads I'd be pleased to see you two guys being nicer to one another.
