re-introduce steel hardtails.

Quite surprised really.
RB: What are you most proud of having been involved with in the world of
cycling?
KB: Sorting out myth.
Why? The forefathers (sic) of MTBing were innovators, they were people who wanted to push the sport and develop new technologies to improve the way that bikes performed. What makes you think that they should still not have that same attitude? I would guess that most people who have been in the business since the start would have the same view. Keiths right, bikes are better now, lets not let the rose tinted glasses of retrofarianism taint our common sense.
