Thanks. It was a silly, toss-off comment on my part anyway, and besides being unimportant, was really not even relevant to the thread.

Well, what I said was that Trek is to the bike biz as McDonald’s is to fast food, so it wasn’t a comparison of the companies to each other, but rather of their positions in their respective markets. ...

Could be, or could be not. It depends on how far you want to take the analogy, I suppose.

There is no question a lot of people buy Trek, so that was never the point. Rather, it's that there are some people who do not buy Trek compared to the totally non-existant people who don't buy from...

Except that it’s a real effect and not fantasy argument. Real people don’t buy Trek, whereas *no one* doesn’t buy former Axis countries’ products.

How you account for reality vs. fantasy is your...

Trek is to bicycles what McDonald's is to fast food. Let's be honest.

I don’t make any assessment of Trek or any other bike company’s “moral purity,” and in fact think doing such a thing is quite silly. In any case, it’s irrelevant to the assertion that there’s “no...

Man, people can’t help but talk about Lance! Even when we’re not talking about Lance, they still want to talk about Lance. It’s like a homoerotic fetish cult. Maybe that’s another reason I don’t...

You keep saying that, but it is not true.

They'd been doing anti-doping testing of riders at the TdF since the 1960s. When Lance won in '99 and every subsequent year, doping was illegal and he...

Lance was stripped of seven TDF wins and banned for life from UCI cycling competition, but you say it was OK at the time for those who did it? “Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we...

I also disliked Trek for buying up MTB pioneers Keith Bontrager and Gary Fisher, acquisitions that really signaled the end of an era in the sport. That happens, though, and I doubt Keith or Gary...

I don’t dislike Trek because Lance “used their product” (it cracks me up how you apologists craft mythologies by hiding the truth!), I dislike Trek because of how they did Lemond real dirty.

Yeah, the way that went down really stained Trek in my eyes, too. I’m also in the “never Trek” camp. In all honesty, Trek was never on my Lust List, not even back in the ‘80s, so I never bought...
