That's horribly tragic, but I don't think that's a direct contradiction at all - I said
most folks will be friendly in return and I still believe that, though it clearly may not apply to people with serious mental illness or schizophrenia. But what a horrible thing to happen to that young man
On a lighter note, what do you think of the AWOL? I'm thinking of buying a frameset for a winter build, I thought about purchasing one but I want to cut my steerer to my desired length and I have to have a triple in front.
I don't want to derail the thread, but I'll just say that I love it! I've done some touring on it, loads of commuting and use it for general errands, shopping and the like. I've got full fenders on mine, racks on the front and back and I swapped out the saddle for a B17.
It would make a great, versatile winter bike. And I do plan on riding mine through the winter, though around here (the BC west coast) that mostly entails lots of rain.
