Remember this recent thread people?: Bikefanclub.com

I just read a Calfee forum thread where a guy was asking about advice on buying a Tetra Pro vs a Dragonfly and 1 inch vs 1 1/8th inch headtube options?

One Calfee board regular responded that he should definitely go with the 1 inch model because of the weight savings (this is almost as classic as the Calfee classic "please don't paint your frame, you'll save weight drivel). Yeah, like any even SEMI RATIONAL amateur rider is gonna worry about weight savings in their HEADTUBE DIAMETER SELECTION?????????????? ROTFLMAO Only in here would you see this type of comment! Yes,honey, I have 10+% body fat, but I did sleep in a Holiday Inn last night and man, saving that 15 grams on the smaller headtube diameter made all the difference baby!

BUTTTT, the same thread gets even better if you can believe it! Next, another one of the esteemed board regulars attempted to convince the poor guy that the 1 inch headtube bike would ride more comfortable, but the 1 1/8th model would climb and descend better , LMAO!!

ONLY on the Calfee owners site could you have amateur riders providing advice on weight savings on a headtube diameter selection, advice not to paint a frame to save weight, talk about feeling the difference in a carbon seatpost, and of course that famous - "choose the 1 inch headtube idea" - because its more comfortable, but the 1 1/8th will climb better. Last, we must never forget the board beauty where the guy claimed when he put different wheels on his Calfee, yes because of better wheel AERODYNAMICS, he claimed he increased his speed on a STATIONARY, yes a STATIONARY trainer from the low 20's to over 30 mph, ROTFLMAO!!

You have to admit Bruce, some of these posts are funny with their wild exaggerations and BS. Cmon, have a sense of humor bud, it'll be ok, smile.

Good weekend fellas, do not take this stuff sooo seriously, your posts may in many cases be completely ridiculous, but they are fun, and that's what its all about.

---- Don't worry guys, I'm still trying to reach Johan so that he can strip Lances bike of paint before the AD TT so he'll have a shot. Gotta get rid of that terrible frame paint weight penalty.
