I don’t even know what that header means, I just didn’t want to be left out in the cold.

No, I’m not in Las Vegas. I keep saying I’m going to go to Interbike, and then I realize that there are roughly 674,904,783 places I’d rather go than Las Vegas. And if I wanted to hang out with BMXers, I’d ride my bike.

To keep this vaguely relevant, I’d just like to say that Macneil’s going back to the 22.2mm seatpost standard because frame tubing is smaller now makes about as much sense as going back to 1″ headtubes. Your move, Jay. (Or was that Silent Bob’s idea?) Smaller-diameter seatposts aren’t any lighter, but they’re definitely weaker. So, on behalf of those of us who insist upon running more than .000005″ of exposed seatpost, thank you for reducing the number of frame companies we’d consider by one.

(The bike in the photo above is what we presume will be shown at Interbike in 2012. The 3/8″ axles in the front and rear save weight, as does the 1″ headtube and the 22.2mm seatpost. The radical curve in said seatpost allows one to run a shorter frame, yet still keep one’s weight centered further back. You’ll also note the liberal use of chrome.)
