The word salad would not work if everyone used proper shims. I've written multiple press releases in my life and it's funny many superlatives are basically a way of saying "hey we're not morons and our product isn't shit".
but most customers are morons
That's why you need to hype it up. Because people gobble up stupid marketing hype. They'll go "Marketing doesn't work for me" and then they go buy the most marketed things or the most popular contrarian products "for people marketing doesn't work on".
Cycling and mountain biking beat skiing to third place, with only golf and art collecting being more popular. Horse riding rounds out the top 5, followed by fishing in sixth place — ahead of classic car collecting, hunting, yachting and watch collecting."

I went to bentonville for the first time ever a few weeks ago for "work". Worst tap water I've ever tasted.
Something like $15,000,000 on mtb trail and related amenities over the last 5 years.
but don't drink the water.

Let's see.....brass knuckles on internet.....yep, can still get them.
Okay....yep, easily fit in my pocket still.
Oh look, police batons on sale. Definitely throwing one of those in the cart.
Cool. All ready for the second I see that shit in person. Should be here in a week.
Thanks!
Of course it is.
Obviously that's who's bike that is. I mean who else could it be. How could I be so stupid. Mr. DOT fluid in mineral brakes or whatever the fuck that idiot did.
What was I thinking.
So anyway imma beat that dudes ass
Looks pretty balanced. #sacredgeometry
I feel like I could really get some weight over that front tire and hook up on the flat turns!
"I design bikes for a past living and current hobby but am completely impermeable regarding the most basic of standards that have been established because of past experimentation and failures"
Lord help me, I read a little bit of his blog recently (someone made me, I don't hate myself that much). He had the temerity to say that he needed a far higher performing bike than most of us muppets and we're all the idiots for accepting the commonly held best geometry best practices.
He also says that front-center is the right number to size bikes by, irrespective of intended use, and was wildly dismissive of the idea that stem length has any impact on handling so...

Bet that thing would be sweet for wheelies. Dunno about the rest. Big weight shifts required to load that front wheel and keep it gripping I imagine.
HAB's team
In their defense, that was a joke for a shit bike derby kind of event.
Their real bikes are sweet.
Archer components make horrible bar clamps that are sharp as all shit so I get to waste $95AUD, yay!
do you at least also earn matching aussie salaries?
