is solid, I think, though it's all still up in the air until the
engine lands in my garage. If I find a low mileage TDI out of a wreck,
all bets are off and I'll go with that. Right now, however, my MC
carbs are sitting here waiting for me to get off my ass and mani some
folds.

dickbags who write passive aggressive comments on blog posts from two
years ago, but thanks to the magic of all these comments, I now have
scientific proof.

"works better for some folk" means it's like an orthotic or glasses,
it's a bandaid to a physical ailment. If you are suggesting
prescription chainwheels for those who really need it, I agree, but
they put those worthless fucking chainrings on a millionteen bikes
because they were trying to sell you snake oil. It's like the pills
they have now for "restless leg disorder", it's a solution to a
problem nobody fucking has, or at most, perhaps... 1% of the
population has.
Quite frankly, the fact that every three months for the past two years
some random asshole has wandered out of the woodwork bound and
determined to convince me that I'm waaaay out of line here is MORE
PROOF that human beings will sell themselves ANYTHING. I hope you are
enjoying your penis enhancement juices and your HEPA filters (that you
never replace the element on) and your bottled water. Please wait for
Biopace III which will come out at the same time as Shimano Ultegra
12-speed and then somebody will bring back Microdrive you little
editorial obsessed tech weenies.

Ben and Robert chasing the devil in a house-dress.
And I'll never give up on love. I'm a romantic at the core and I can't
ever give up on love. I'm also a pretty shy guy with low self
motivation when there is a perceived challenge. Give me hard math to
do, I'll do it, put a pretty girl in front of me, and I become some
kind of self-obsessed jackass who can't pull his cranium from his
rectal passage long enough to sit in civil silence for ten minutes and
make pleasant chat about the weather. But I'm never giving up on love.

Just because you can use something without harm for years doesn't mean it's good to use. Your anecdotal evidence does not trump mine simply because of some strange authority you have granted yourself. I submit again, if biopace were as good as you say it is, you wouldn't be able to buy anything else. If it happens to fit your biomechanics, and not mine, but we can both ride round rings, what is the better solution? It's like prayer therapy for cancer. Say all you did was pray and get better, does that mean we should all pay attention to your shit and not the dozens of folks who get better following traditional medical protocols?
If a device doesn't solve anything, the market roots out that weakness and it falls off the shelves. This happened with biopace, it happened with "hite rite springs" (though these are coming back with adjustable seatposts), it happened with delta brakes, and countless other "essential" technologies over the years.
Also thank you for the pointless ramble about living in Florida.
