Standards? What standards? That everyone should spend all their time discussing the technical minutia of cycling, focused on being the smartest or most knowledgeable guy around, discussing the latest trends and amenities, making every possible effort to present yourself as a bona fide serious cyclist? What I like to call pissing contests?

Not addressing you specifically, Shelby, but mostly the general demographic here that thinks this way. It’s one of the reasons there’s so much hostility around these forums because too many people have their pride at stake in their postings. I don’t expect this pattern to change just because of my criticisms, but a good, lite hearted thread comes along much too infrequently now days. Just saying.

Good job, OP.
