Yeah - but its one of those places you have to apply to - and your bike has to be worth more than your house, and three existing members have to think you're enough of a poser to vote you in. :(

If you decide to go that route - I can't recommend the Jagwire Ripcord MTB kits highly enough! Have installed those on a couple mtbs and their Racer Kit on a couple road bikes. Extremely complete,...
