I have broached that subject a few times with him.. Last time was a couple of years ago .. He had a really nice lugged frame at the show again (why does he bring them if he doesn't want to make them?) I said something to the effect of "Wow, Bruce, you really make beautiful lugged frames" and he said (Very close quote) "Well if you are stupid enough to like that sh_t."

He was less.. ornery this year when talking about his faux-Nervex bike.
