LOL. no where did I ever say major. consistently noted better....how much better is hard to say..... I don't think Dave would let anything bad come out of his shop, he is very serious that way.

Based on Dave's posts and site

his current personal bike is Montana Road bike version of the Onesto Fillet frameset. The main aims with the bike are to have it be simple, light, efficient and fun. So Sram AXS 1X, Velo Orange rim brakes, Red Shift Stem, Cane Creek post, Rene Herse tires and my new Hunt 36 Wide Aero wheels. It is beautiful..... take a look

before that he was riding
he is riding a bike he built in 2017 with dura ace 9100 and rim brakes. (per his site)
