Hagiography Or Fisking? Satire Or Parody? Jerky Boys Outakes?
It's only bikes, so who gives a fuck? But the whole Jerk-7 thing feels a little off, incestuous or something, and considering what a smarmy circle jerk that forum is, that's a pretty neat trick! Gaulzetti bikes are nifty, if obscenely expensive, but the dude has had more business plans than Serotta and Strong put together, and the only cachet is the cult of personality around the cock on the downtube seat tube. What happened to that Boston-area machine shop/factory that was building the bikes for a while now that Bedford's frame shop is building the frames? There were at least two contract builders before that I can remember, and I was not anywhere near in the kool kids lunchtable club enough to know how many contractors he really used. No big deal, anywayz...
