I have no issue with them and would never insult a newbie for making a mistake. Neither did anyone on the thread about the OP's World Sport. As you suggest, we should offer guidance and help. What I take issue with isn't the bike he sold, it's his attitude.

I made a ton of mistakes on my Raleigh Pro. It was my first vintage frame up build and I goofed some stuff. I also didn't call the people who helped me old grumps and I doubt you would have done that to people who helped you either. I don't spend that much time on the evaluation section, but every time I have I saw helpful people offering their expertise and knowledge to promote the hobby and sport. I sure haven't seen old grumps.
