C'mon guys (and gals), you're forgetting your History of Myths and Legends 131 from Sophomore year. By definition the Holy Grail of bicycles: . cannot be possessed by a mortal, . if actually found, signals the death of the finder, . appears differently to everyone, and . gets discussed ad nauseum, often around large circular conference tables (or in circular fashion via the magic of email).
This is one of those "journey-is-the-reward" things. In other words, whatever you thought was the holy grail of bicycles is yesterday's news once you get your hands on it. If you're still breathing, that one wasn't it after all...
