I ain't a retro-grouch by any means - modern stuff can often be better and I wouldn't hesitate to use it if the end result would benefit from it.
But crap like integrated headsets give you no benefit whatsoever and are actually just a bad idea on almost every level - that ain't progress.

What about using legendary names on mediocre bikes that aren't even made of the same material as their predecessors? Or a total lack of high quality steel bikes in large numbers? Kona are the worst culprits in my opinion...
wicked im no longer the youngest
i dont like the ignorance . the idea you need a boingy bike to travel over a bit of the earth that a rigid has done for years previously
expensive stuff for expensive stuffs sake . like the people who buy a chris king and have no idea about the bearing used or the lifetime warranty :x
ive found i generally dislike boingy bikes personally but im not going to say i hate them as they have a place . if you want to go fast over some really rough ground fine . dont buy one to go to the shops though
generally using the wrong equipment for where your riding or what you want out of a bike . i dont reserve this for new bikes , i find it just as funny the people who insist on using flat bars but have 2inchs of spacers under the stem
i dont think ill ever understand why a 6inch travel boingy bke would have a triple chainset :?
