Then have him message you privately. His posts suck. His "knowledge" is nothing more than re-constituted group think.. stiffer frames are always better, modern materials are better, simply because they are newer, leather saddles cause erectile dysfunction and on & on. He enjoys being antagonistic and is disrespectful of other members. He adds very little to the forum, except this type of, low value, discourse.
@fender1 Just because I wanted to give your 50th "Mention."

Well, I do like this thread especially because I can get through it quickly when I don't have to read so much of the stuff.
My ideal 2020, which will most certainly be different from the real one, will have fewer leaf blowers, fewer drivers but more of them knowing how to drive around a bicycle, fewer jack hammers, a reasonable selection of gumwall tires, reduced CO2 in the atmosphere, more bike lanes, and more banjos. With a bit of luck and St. Tullio's help I'll still be riding as I turn 72.
