Well he writes "On a bike from this era, there was zero trail." which is really a poorly worded sentence. I suppose he could have meant that there was one bike (a bike) from this era that had zero trail, but what it infers to me is zero trail is representative of all bikes from this era, while Jan is saying he's never seen any bike, from any era, with zero trail. I think that's a pretty significant difference - Dave says, if not all, then at least a majority, Jan says none.
