Ha! That picture is great. The saddle on that bike looks insanely
uncomfortable. Now I think I understand what people mean when they say ass

it's a cute cartoon, and we could use it to bash a lot of people if we
want, but it's just jokes

bag attached to the cf seatpost. The owner said he loved it. To do him
justice, the bike was given him by a friend who had to give up cycling.
Patrick M. and Peter M. make good points. One of the things I like about
this list is that it's generally civil respectful. Sure, snarky remarks can
be made. I know I've contributed my share, but overall there seems to be a
healthy element of respect and not taking ourselves too seriously.

Being familiar with Grant P.'s feelings carbon bicycles, and this group's
strong preference for steel and in particular, lugged steel bikes; it seems
a bit unrealistic to request that this group not engage in anti-carbon
discussion. I would imagine it's akin to going to a group with a fondness
for
graphite fly rods on the bamboo fly rod board, etc.

When I started following rbw discussions four years ago it seems like
there were frequent debates about things like carbon vs steel that would go
on for days with literally hundreds of posts. I understand that for long
term members those debates were just a tedious rehash of stuff that they
I don't think it's unreasonable at all to ask members *not* to bad mouth CF
without evidence of its defects. This is simply asking listers to be
reasonable. Mere expression of bias against this, that, or the other
because one doesn't happen to like it is clearly irrational and it is a
great way to
I would say keep criticisms limited to the bikes and products, not to their
riders. We all know that CF guy and he isn't a bad dude, is he?

I just came from a shop that heads all the hill country sports events.
They were assembling a new carbon bike for a guy standing there and

Some of my best riding buds ride CF. Some of them chuckle at my lugged
steel bike. The coffee shop doesn't care what we ride, and we talk about
travels, current events, books movies. No one cares seriously what
material the other's bike is made from. It's just a bike.

Yep. I don't bash anyone's bike materiel nor their clothing. I had a
carbon bike and I loved it and I rode with lycra and well I felt like
a dweeb also felt obligated to go fast.That got old quick. I got tired
of returning a super duper light $150 saddle cause the plastic shell
broke two times,
