Is that you pot? I thought your attack on the whole car example was a little over the top and condescending. Read the previous posts. There was a debate about Spez v Santa Cruz. Some more comments about how expensive the s-works is, with a premium being charged for the brand. My comment was simply this: when looking at certain categories of cars (dare I say it) some people don't mind paying a little extra for the brand, and people are often brand loyal. That is not to say that any one brand is that much better than another. I personally think bikes are similar. Some differences here and there, but some people are willing to pay a little more for the brand. If they want to, so be it. This is a thread about the new s-works, which is what I wanted to read about. If I want to read about the new Santa Cruz or Giant, then I will go take a look at that thread instead. So take it easy. You very obviously know much more about bikes than I do, but that is no reason to be so aggressive. For those of us that want to read about the new s-works and appreciate it for what it is (or isn't) I just wish that the spez-haters would let it go. For clarity, this statement is not directed at you Wyatt, but whoever feels it is necessary to bash the new s-works on this thread.
