Is this like the time 56/12 and 28/22 or (whatever his handle was) was totally going to build up the Colnago C50 with the money he won playing video games?
That was an awesome thread.

Well I was thinking of a huffy. With dura ace components. But then that giant just shined in the light.

Sweeet. Umm, honey, I'm buying this Moots, only like 3k. I'll get you this Giant on sale for like 400 bucks.
Nice rides though. I know a guy with a Moots. They are nice.

Pheard, Pheard, Pheard. The fact that you ventured into the roadie forum looking to get your coolness ticket punched means you will never be cool. 
The damage has been done.

Sweet rides for you both, Jon! Welcome to the dark side. You are now roadies, which make you an evil bastid, too. But not Siu. She's too cool.

Anyone have any positive feedback on the giant or moots? Any problems with the frames or components? How did you like the ride?

Nah I'm not asking to know if the bikes are right for us. I already test rode it and like it, just wondering what other owners though of it.
