If someone is like "I have this bike, and some different shifters, and a triple crank, and some replacement wheels that I wanna install... what kinda cheap stuff can I use to make it work?" and ppl are like "no, don't not worth it", I think the implication is clear, to the point where it barely qualifies as being merely implied....
From this thread:
You've picked a very poor candidate for upgrade
An unsolicited negative
opinion of the bike in question
...very low quality one - not "vintage."
Another opinion, again negative, and also unsolicited... coupled with a boldface falsehood... whatever the level of quality is, that bike certainly is vintage.
Hypothetically speaking, if you cam on here and said your wheelset for your Navara was toast, and you needed a new one, you might be taken aback if someone responded with "scrap the Novara and buy a bike worthy of a new wheelset." Obviously, you wouldn't likely need advice on your Novara's wheels, nor would you likely see that response if you did post that... but, surely, you could see how such a response might be insensitive, rude, or just plain mean-spirited, right?
