My mistake - 4000 miles - 80 days - 50 miles per day - 3 hours per day.
Sorry.

Gee, Mark, are you slow or something? I came to that conclusion a
hundred posts or more ago.

Pat

Email address works as is.

Yes, they are.

They're nice people, but this stuff is about convincing their very
high-end customers to believe in the uniqueness of their custom frame.

It's marketing, not engineering.

Yeah, I'm more convinced than ever. He tried to bait me into
bad-mouthing a competitor upthread a bit... not worth it. If he asks,
I'll just tell him that I've put a special high-frequency absorbing
material in my seat stays (vanadium!). ;-)

Ooh, high atomic weight incorporated into light atomic weight titanium
crystal lattice structure disrupts the harmonic transmission of
vibrations through the metal. Great idea; think you can patent it?

(For anyone who can't tell, that last bit is pure, market-speak, drivel.
It has nothing to do with reality, as best I can tell.)

Might I suggest,

"Transgressing the Boundaries: Toward a Transformative Harmonic
Absorbtion of Road Shock"?

We're getting closer... but there's no cool acronym yet. You gotta
have a cool acronym if you want people to waste, errrr, spend, errrrr,
invest money in your bull..., errrrr, technology.

Maybe

Patented
Linear
Area
Composite
Elongation
Boundary
Obfuscation

Total nonsense, but that's kinda the point to much of the marketing
technobabble, right?
