He would have never belittled someone for their choice of bikes. Had he been asked he would have simply given good advice. Dr. Bill was a great man and a great cyclist. Dr. Pete should use someone like that as a role model.
The hilarious thing about this thread is that
the only one launching personal attacks is you. I don't care what bike you ride, ride the hell out of it and I'll see you on the road. It doesn't mean that I have to love the bike you're riding--you be happy with your bike and I'll be happy with mine. At no point did I belittle you as a person (or anyone, for that matter) for their choice of bicycle. I personally won't give BD my business for several reasons, but there are people who do and are quite happy with them. ElJamoquio is one of them, and thought the OP was funny. Why aren't you attacking him?
Again, the choice to take a comment about your bike as a personal attack is yours. Nobody else's. Please stop blaming me for how you feel and stop with the self-righteous crap.
