Maybe he meant in the 80s people started showing up to brevets on mountain bikes as they gained popularity? Perhaps I am being too charitable, but given I believe he is a non-native English speaker, being quoted briefly by a third party, I don't want to be too hard on him.

I generalized too much, as I thought this thread was primarily about tires and the relationship of width and speed, acknowledging that width usually adds comfort (compliance). You're absolutely correct that frames in torsion deflect far more than frames in a strictly vertical plane.

I like the 650B version of my Bingham because of toe clearance for the same size tire, vs. 700C. It's a non-issue for paved road riding but not so in off-road conditions, especially low speed uphills with not great traction conditions.
I may need to move to the PNW... Quote:

Maybe I'm trying to convince myself more than I'm trying to convince you.

Deerfield is this weekend. I wonder if the spirit of gravel will be there?
