Part of what you're not understanding is that the "big news" will not be big news at all.

Sorry to break it to you.

Maybe some of his posts border on (or even cross the border into) trolling. Might end up banned, might not.

But the side-comment in the post quoted above about buying such a bike for his daughter says to me that he's likely a pretty good guy IRL If this thread were to drop out of circulation after the announcement, whatever it turns out to be, I for one wouldn't mind.

Yeah, there was a long thread a couple weeks ago where he asked about drop bars for kids. He races his daughter and she is frustrated she isnt winning, so apparently he decided to buy her a new bike.

Refreshments and snacks no doubt on offer.

See what I’m getting at?
