Every so often when I read one of Heine's articles I'm reminded of the excellent Wikipedia article on chauvinism (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauvinism), especially the second and third paragraphs. Fanatical devotion and undue partiality to the cause of Rene Herse building the best possible bicycles ever, anyone?
Of course, that partisanship doesn't mean he won't follow the market. Why else would Rene Herse offer twice as many tire models in 622 than they do in 584?
