Nope, I don't personally know too many people on this list. I have only met a few so personally so I have to judge the group based upon what people here post.
I'll say that without a doubt, there are many bicycling fans here but ,OVERALL, the group is very focused only on one type of bike. Its just weird to me that here and on the iBob list there are many people who only consider bicycles that fit into the Riv stereotype. Now on the old serrota list (now The Paceline Forum) and even on velocipede salon they tend to appriciate all bikes. Those two groups most definately cater towards the faster crowd but they also apreciate and enjoy the Riv type of slow, heavy, comfort bicycles. As for what started my intial post, who here has had a carbon frame/fork break, fail or bend? OK, now who here has had a steel frame/fork break, bend or fail? As for me, I will keep riding all types of bicycles not just those of one small type.
