I have read Infinite Jest and watched goats pick their mates and I swear to all things holy it was less of a ADHD-inducing circle jerk than this.

Also, I have to ask, why buy a $200 bike and say that you only made "minor upgrades" to it which include a wheelset that is equal to or more than the value of the bike you purchased, a crank that is worth more than the bike, hell a seat that is worth half the value of the bike.

On that note, I'mma go down and buy me a Dodge K-body Aries and put a $4,500 set of gold deuce-deuces on lowpro, wide-stance tires, do a minor engine swap to a 442 Buick, take the rear end off and replace it with a posi-traction from a Dodge Challenger (1971) and then replace all the interior with carbon racing seats with five point harnesses. It might drive a little better.
