Re: Mr. Leisure: Bikefanclub.com

i forgot, your lance armstrong himself. sounds like someone has been jaded by a few too many mid pack finishes. no one asked for your opinion. i asked for the group's opinion. you choose to reply back with a comment which is in itself childish. and yet, im the younger one. its suprising how you suggest that there are people here who are knowledgable and willing to help others out (im sure that you are assuming that you are one of these people), yet you insist on the degrading the level of this thread to a childish, "im faster than you" quarrel. you said it yourself:

"IMO you'll waste your money on any of those items you spoke of, and just prove it when you ride it, when some guy makes you suck his dust as he's pulling away from you on bike that cost half of yours, because he spent other half his money for a good coach and training program. Which will make you look just like what you are."

what exactly am i? have you ridden with me? do you know anything about me besides my age? mr. leisure? so you think i dont compete? you assume i dont have a coach? you assume. guess whos the ass then.

keep your attitude to yourself and well be fine. i wasent asking about speed, nor traning, nor appearencs, but about buying components for the sake of getting the best bike i can; i work in a shop, i have tons of people around me who know what they're talking about, among them a south american national champion and somone who i am sure has forgotten more about cycling than you can ever claim to know. i starte a thread for the sake of the thread, for a convo.

you said im hypocritical. how is acknoledging that money is not too much of an issue (i am looking at ~ $2k groups here, so it honestly isn't) but still looking for a good dollar/performance value hypocritical? as old as you are, i think most here will agree that you need to grow up. either that, or older people are becoming senile younger and younger these days. im not going to launch any further attacks, im just going to leave it at that and ride away, the younger of the two, the more mature of the two, with my d'fly and the best components i can buy even though im slow and fat and a poser and only ride bike paths.
