I have a Specialized Sequioa Expert (my first bike), too, and I've done
several metric centuries on it this year, some with 5000 ft of climbing.
Had some nice high HRs on it, too.

Frankly, I don't get the point of the bike bashing, either. I enjoy my DF,
my 'bent (Stratus XP), and my recently obtained trike - I did a century on
it two weeks after I got it.

Ah, you think standing up relieves you of a beating?

Sure, sometimes. Over potholes and train tracks and curbs,
definitely. On long stretches of washboarded gravel road, not so
much.

Just for your info....riding the Stratus XP is like floating on a cloud. I
don't ride over potholes or curbs, even on my DF.
