I usually skip threads like this
And every other one I may not like.
I think BF is great. I get what I want, in a relatively focused number of threads on several sub-Forums. And buy nice parts. And meet nice people.
Read more in Mechanics or the various

edit: besides winter is coming. It’s gonna get worse, lotsa folks would rather whine than put on the long sleeves/jacket and ride.

re-edit: had to check = 11,229 posts over 17 years means I’m well under 2 posts per day.
So if I blow, it’s not too hard!
Diventa di nuovo un ciclista oggi!
Baaaaaaaah
clear your handlebars and your mind will follow.
