Adverts may sow the initial seed when it comes to a product, but I always back it up with plenty of fact finding and plenty of varied opinion..........................

I hate to admit it but have had a thing for sombrio clothing ever since the collective and somehow have ended up with addidas goggles...
Are we fashion victims in mtb?

Yes we are suckers. At least i reckon we are... I wonder how many people now own an iron horse sunday since sam hill started owning on them? I think adverts work for me if the products look juicy enough. However, often upon looking at the price tag i decide not to buy them.
I also wonder how many people have started buying hardtails since Dirt's hardtail obsession.

i duno...i'd like to think that i'm not too advertising driven, but then my views might be deriven by advertising. basically i have strong brand loyalty...basically always use the same brands because i know they work and i like them and stuff.

Think brand loyalty is good heff. I'm a bit like that as well and tend to stick to a few.
You do get the impression we are like sheep with marketing like JAW said about iron horse. Will flat pedals become more popular again with DH'ers as well? Similarily troy lee lids are for racers etc.
