ROFLOL, guys I'm not agitated. It's hard to express true sarcasm on the internet. I told you I was rarely(read:never)serious. Like I said, if you think it's cool do it, it's your bike.

I think it's really funny that your "practical" (I use that term VERY loosely) objection has now changed to an aesthetic objection.
"great, just hope you don't have to tighten your headset"
"you would have to remove the stupid bit you spent time putting there to get to a bolt that has a actual purpose"

If you are really a fan of Hank Rearden, or Ayn Rand (which I am not), then why do you just sit and watch people flail? That story and her ideas are about the virtue of productivity. You have contributed nothing to this post, not even your own opinion about the original post. Thats not productivity, its a waste of time.

I wonder if it has a disclaimer that says don't look at your bottle cap while riding.
willtsmith_nwi, and NoF3ar, Y'all mentioned wanting a Dr. Pepper cap. Check out The Dublin bottler for Dr. Pepper. They still make it with sugar not that corn syrup.

guys, you can put any metal drink cap you want on the damned thing.
i've had one on my Bianchi roadie since October and am using a Guinness cap, 'cause i drink a lot of Guinness. but i had plenty of other choices; i even had a thread asking folks' opinions.
here was my cap shortlist, btw:

you could put banana stickers on your bikes too. Just not over the stem cap bolt. You don't want to upset anyone.

Hank, you often point people out for "being silly", yet you don't consider your total unproductiveness to the thread and your constant annoyance to members of this forum kind of silly?

I think my post was QUITE productive. It helped vw addict post a bunch of amusing, confused nonsense. The fact that my posts are directly responsible for your latest bit of silliness is also evidence of how productive my contribution was, and is.
If fragile folks like you are constantly annoyed by/threatened by my posts why don't you save yourself by adding me to your ignore list?

I may be not to knowledgable about bicycling, but I do at least make attempts to post on topic and to help whatever questions people have.
I would add you to my ignore list, but everyone once in awhile when you do post something positive I do enjoy reading it. Plus I wuv topics where you put your foot in your mouth.

I'm really looking forward to your next round of whining! I'm sure it will have me laughing at you even more.
p.s. How can you possibly claim that "everyone" thinks something? Really, posting that kind of idiocy just makes you look even more dense, amazing as that is at this point.

Do you need me to quote all of the lovely comments people have made towards you in your last few rounds of silliness?

You didn't disappoint. I am laughing at you, again.
If quoting what a bunch of fragile folks have written in response to me makes you feel better about yourself, go right ahead. I'll still be here laughing at you F3arful.

Geeze people chill out...Most of us here come here to get away from all the bi***ing and complainting and to learn and enjoy biking more....but what do we get here....more bit**ing and complaining. Now I don't want anyone to be mad with me or anything but come on people.
I personaly think its a pretty cool idea (except for when you want to tighten or loosen your headset) but then again I think anything that helps personalize your bike is pretty cool.
