phenomenom = phenomenon
yup - that sounds like me in my pre-selfabsorbed era trying to
diplomatically state that all the specs that made up the so-called
crit frames (back in that era...) were a joke and - if a bicycle was in
fact designed that way it would handle 180 degrees from what you
really needed in an event as specific as a crit.
imo, crit frame design is a 70s u.s. bike boom phenomenom concocted
by that era's cyclo-journalists who may never ever have raced.
my bad.
