I haven't visited PB or the PB comment section in a long time because it's a cesspool. Nice to see nothing's changed.

A man walks into a casino and sits down to his favorite slot machine. Taped to the machine is a sign that reads, "A fool and his money are soon parted". Angrily, the man rips the sign from the machine and underneath is another sign that reads, "The truth hurts, doesn't it?" I gave an honest opinion based on my personal experience, presented facts and did it without resorting to name calling and trash talking, and I get DV'd. For those that DV'd me, I guess the truth really does hurt.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT WORK FOR ARI - I've been an ambassador for Fezzari for the last two years and I currently ride a Delano Peak. A little about me...I've been riding bikes since the mid-90s. Over the years, I've ridden Specialized, Trek, Cannondale and YT. I tend to ride my bikes for a long time because I don't have a ton of disposable income. When it's time for a new bike, I buy the most bike I can get for the money. For me, it's about value. When I was looking to replace my YT Jeffsy in 2020, I looked at a ton of different options, including Specialized, Trek, Canyon, Intense, Stana Cruz, Yeti, and a few others that included Fezzari. The only manufacturer that even came close to Fezzari, was Intense. Nobody at the time offered a well-optioned, full-carbon, 140/150mm trailbike with XT drivetrain and brakes, Fox36 Performance and DPX2 Performance for $4899. The closest Specialized was $2k more for a similar spec. The Delano Peak has been far and away, the best bike I have ever owned. It's not a circa 2004 MTB, it's a bike with modern engineering, kinematics and ergonomics. The bonus for me is that their HQ is 20-mins from my house and my money goes into my local economy. I can speak to the owner pretty much anytime, I met the designer of my bike, and plenty of the staff involved. You don't get that with ANY of the bigger brands. I have always been indifferent about the name. It's just never been a big deal. Some people are so hateful, and for what? I have to wonder what their personal life is like. If you like a certain brand over another, that's cool. It's MTB, and we're all out to have a good time on the trails. Get out and ride yer damn bikes!
