Okay, so in an effort to be more constructive and not contribute to the evo's work- I say we all just be friends. Internet forum arguments are inconsequential, as this thread will probably be, but if you guys are frustrated, I hear riding your bike alleviates stress . I'm kinda new here, and this sub forum has bequeathed to me a lot of useful knowledge about ssfg... I mean I can't think of anything off the top of my head- but it's there. The old posters who shall remain unnamed provided some useful insight and lots of hilarity- and though I may disagree with some people on brakeless fg riding, or brooks saddles, or even which entry level fg is the best (pista, pants down) I think we can all remain civil and constructive.

(Even if humor within the bounds of tact is hard, we can make an effort right?)

Anyways-

Hi, I'm Carlo, I like FG biking I own 2 fg bikes, a schwinn conversion and a makino and a geared frankenbike which I plan on selling. I hope to buy my brother a really nice bike for his high school graduation, maybe a custom NJS bike or a nice road bike (I promised him something really nice if he got into UVA or UCLA). I condone brakeless riding (within the bounds of reason), I hate when people ride opposite traffic, and I think brook's saddles are the greatest thing to touch my bottom since my ex-gf Luisa.

Let's be friends!
