Steve,
That fat bike is a good example of what I was trying to say. I
suspect this may be a difference of _optimized_ for the fringe versus
just _passable_ at the fringe. Expanding into the passable scope may
not sacrifice the other end of the range as much as the optimized
scope. But, the more you move from passable to optimized at one end,
the greater the sacrifice at the other.
Yes. Heavily optimized for the center -- say something like this (Peter
Weigle's Concours bike) --
is going to do pretty well out near the fringes, as this very bike
demonstrated at the Concours last year, while obviously killing it in
the middle of the range. Not as good as a fat bike on sand or snow,
obviously, but that's as specialized and single-purpose as this Snow Cat
Image result for tracked snow vehicle
and hardly the car you'd want to take on your next drive down the New
Jersey Turnpike...
