Note to all: We will all one day be over 50! (if vices, reckless behavior, acts of God, etc. don't do you in first!)
Yeah, you're right, that sort of comment is uncalled for, but this IS the internet after all. You'll have that.
I'm glad you showed us the latest model. I like the green better than the orange. Orange bikes are hot, but I've got a thing for green bikes. I hope the orange bike lovers out there don't take offence at my stating a color preference.
I'm not so sure why I got sucked into the debate so wholeheartedly either. I do think the dual chainring feature is dumb, but then it's as easy to remove the second chainring from a Quickbeam as it is from any road crank. I kind of thought this thread had died a peaceful death, but steelcommuter resuscitated it.
