Thanks guys,
I feel so elitist now! JK!
I never thought about the commie connection.......Not that I am one but I love the style. My daily rider is themed on a commie color scheme......I guess it kinda fits! Well since I love posting pics any time I can, how 'bouts one of the "prole"? Just in celebration of the people of BF.

A red star is awarded to anyone in C&V who has ever done two of the following:

-picked up 7 bikes from the curb on trash day and hauled them home in/on their compact car.
-arranged for packages with bike parts to come to the office and not home.
-snuck a bike into the garage and then claimed it was there for years
-been given a dirty look for looking too closely at the bike ridden by someone of the opposite sex
-traded frames with someone on BF

Kelly 50 to 52 cm or standover 29 - 30 inches. Just about like the Volare only with a longer wheelbase, a touring frame maybe in decent shape

Red stars for only $25 for a virtual lifetime (or thirty years, at least).

There are other ways to block ads, but the red star gets rid of them. The head administrator, Brian, is working on a modification which will allow people with red stars to be able to switch to a 'view ads' mode without logging out. By the way, blue stars indicate a moderator or an administrator.

Welcome to no ads, Kelly!
