Again, this makes it sound as though Grant is stuck in the past but, given enough time, will eventually come around to see the light. However, just as an artist might use oil paint her whole career, even as her style develops and changes, a bicycle designer's approach to designing bicycles will also change and develop, though the basic ingredients remain essentially the same. Hilly bikes are the product of a long career thinking about and designing bicycles, not a new technology in and of themselves. (And, ironically in this context, harken back to the mountain bike designs of the 1980s. So what you are saying in a sense is, it took him 25 years to go back to where the cutting edge of bicycle design was 35 years ago!;^)* *Obviously HilliBikes are more than just a revival of vintage mountain bikes, and riding my Clem L is a different experience than riding my 1980s Trek 830 or Peugeot Express, but that certainly is the foundation, the inspirational jumping off point. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
