As someone who has one foot in both camps, I'd be happy to test ride one for a while and do an independent review. Just sayin'.
Go ahead, but don't blame us when you're riding and it spontaneously disassembles, every component shattering in a fraction of a second, the chewing gum brazing crumbling to powder like some sort of stale madeira cake and the 11 frame tubes rolling away in opposite directions. And you're just sitting there feeling a bit dazed, on a saddle on the floor in the middle of the road, debris without any logos strewn out all over the place.
