It's not stupid. It's a quality of the forum issue. Between google and the search function answers to a lot of these broad questions can be narrowed down to something that doesn't contribute to the already execrable signal to noise ratio of this forum. I started on a road bike less than two months ago and selected my bike and adjusted my fit by searching here instead of starting another "what bike" or "ZOMG my elbows hurt" thread. If you want to **** where you live that's fine, but I'm going to challenge new users to live up to the same standards that I did in using this forum as a valuable resource and respecting the opinions and work of more senior members. /rant
