“It hit like a ball-peen hammer to the temple. New isn’t necessarily better. Sometimes new is just… newer… Old parts inevitably wear out with time, we end up remembering them in their worn out state of performance, which usually coincides with the release of new stuff. Hooray. Before we know it, the wallet’s gaping open and a new model year is tearing at the poor thing like a pack of jackals at a zebra carcass.” - more anti consumer hand wringing from days gone by (oh no, NINE SPEEDS?! the horror, the complexity…) over on ye olde stack of subs. like! subscribe! consume! #steamroller #jamestaylorisanasshole #bikemag #thegrimyhandshake #1999
