I've only been on this subforum for a few months. Been a member for awhile, but was in other subforums.

The people and the attitude in this one is outstanding! I really think I used to be more jaded just because of the negative energy in other subforums. I'd ask a simple question and it would turn into a fight over something not about the question.

I've posted a few times in here and only gotten helpful, useful answers, given with kindness. THANKS for the kindness everyone!

Ha ha ha...it was worth it to spend the money on a new, classic bicycle that I didn't really need just to get involved with the good folks here in C&V

RobbieTunes: I should be in Durham, NC doing work all summer. Not sure exactly where you are in NC, but would love to get together for a C&V ride. Until I came into this subforum I thought the idea of riding with other BF members (from the roadies and fixed forums) sounded like torture. Now it seems like a great way to meet bicycle enthusiasts, not cycling competitors.

Definitely a great atmosphere and feel here in C&V. Thanks everyone!
