+1... This is a forum populated by people who respect cycling and bikes. Though I did not get in on the original thread, you clearly outed yourself as someone who doesn’t really know or care about bicycles. While you are welcome to pursue the free market and do to your bike whatever you think will improve your competitiveness in that market, you shouldn’t expect us to provide a free appraisal. More to the point, you shouldn’t expect us to support doing things to bikes that demonstrate a lack of knowledge and or perhaps even a disrespect for bicycles in pursuit of personal gain.
