You mean that 6000$ spidery carbon/DA thingy in the garage at the end next to your BMW X5? The one you take out a few times a week? I'll pass .... I wouldn't want to to feel you to be uncomfortable, like you were slumming or something. I wouldn't want your friends to shun you for bringing non-Rosedale riders to your mutual aren't-we-just-the-**** love fest, I'll leave them to mock you for other reasons I don't care to know. Anyone is welcome on our rides, regardless of "rig". You want to involve others, don't immediately come off as an arrogant prick. Trust me, high school is over and you won't get beat up everyday anymore.

EDIT nice linkie eyefloater, I may pull that soon.

What kind of crank will accommodate non-proprietary rings? Shim needs Shim rings no?
