Things I have an irrational/unfounded dislike of...

[Radar]

don't know why but don't like GT bikes at all at all at all

Don't like Scotts either (this one is not irrational - my brother in law has one and, cutting a long story short may not cross the threshold of my house)

riser bars - just wrong
marzocchi forks - cheap and nasty (two things they certainly aren't I know but can't shake the dislike)
body armour - plain wrong, practical and safe but still wrong
full face helmets - heavens sake save up and buy a motorbike!


apologies to anyone i've offended (apart from my brother in law)

... and not-pace forks on proper pace frames. These new fangled round paces don't stir any emotions good or bad

cnc'd mechs, just look over engineered foe the job, I prefer something clean and simple. For the same reason I dislike spin/trispoke wheels, give me wire spokes anytime.

You all have just no taste

About the only bike I like them on is an RTS so your okay.

Do not know why but alloy specialized hardtails and alloy GT hardtails just leave me cold but new or old Kona hardtails are nice.

Not rational, theyre just standard diamond frames, weird. Think I need to see a shrink !

Long live irrational hatreds otherwise everything would be the same. I'm cured, no need to see expensive shrink !!!!!!!!!

Cheers

Spot on that spokes too

I hate Canondales too. But then I owned two Kleins. or suspension. Or wire bead tyres, or mud guards on mtbs,
