Yeah. Another article on PinkBike on a subject that the author has no understanding of. This is a habit.

This article makes the obvious more obvious. Please PinkBike, learn something about handlebars before writing about them. Ugh.

I wish but those folks work hard and I'm quite lazy.
I chose to stay out of the bicycle business 3 decades ago because the pay and opportunities didn't make any sense. Today it's even worse.
What made Mark such a legend was his ability to keep costs down to a minimum while producing a quality product. It's shameful that a business like this can't exist in the United States. If they can't, we are all lost.

@bemorebikes:
6. I disagree with your premise. The steering axis is almost meaningless in the system. The same is true for the hub axles. High flop is a very bad thing unless you get value from it. My recent bike has no negative side effect (other than needing bespoke bars) from having a 69 degree head angle. Only good stuff, like low flop.
7. Please don't. The bicycle industry is a terrible place to make a carrier. There are better ways of making a living. That said, I've yet to see a setup print. Makes it very hard to believe in this. Having Marino make something with wacky numbers is not that.
8. I disagree.
