That's not conformity, that's just sense. Now if you want to make cracks about paying someone to fit it....
I'm reasonably certain that even recumbents come in different sizes.

I live in a world where rich people can pay money to buy organs from poor people who cannot even afford health care ... a world in which one country kills political prisoners to order to supply organs for transplant ... a country where some governments are actually organized drug gangs, and some which use their armies to invade other countries which have done nothing aggressive.

And for some folks the big issue is manufacturing materials.

Yeah, I would definitely join a mob going out to lynch some carbon fiber ... that stuff is the bane of humanity ... everywhere here on Flat Earth.

This is not a denigrating diatribe ... it is parody done for humor's sake .... right?

Humor has no place on a bike forum -- this is serious stuff.

Peanut butter bikes ride smooth...or crunchy. Your choice.
