Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Sadly..the sheer stupidity of most of his posts makes me chuckle before sahking my head in dismay at what a complete tool he is. And yes...he does manage to get a lot of posts on his idiotic threads.

The law of diminishing returns in practise here. The 400watts thread of last year was a classic, but you're never going to top that one with lame sheet like this.

True.

But I don't avoid beer just because champagne is better.

Hey, anyone look up DuraAss's race results for this year? I did. They suck, especially for guy who claims to be training out the wazoo.

SinCityCycler is the best troll in BF, R600 has had some good stuff, but not as often and consistent as Sin. Of course that's just my own opinion.

I agree the OLD sincity was classic but the newer version of Sin just does not have the same trollability.

Then you've missed the point. The original post is irrelevant; it's the responses that makes these threads fun. Basically, the OP serves as the pinata at the birthday party, and we all take wacks at him with sticks. Good fun, no one gets hurt, and who doesn't like candy?

No way...a good troll wouldn't go running to the mods because I was mean to him.

Edit: the perfect troll never has to make another post in the thread after the OP - the war self-perpetuates all by itself. How many times do you see Sin respond after his OP?

OK, so I'm thinking this guy is like the IRS and just won't go away and then it occurs to me that *it's a joke* and nobody is getting it. This is the third or fourth thread I've read started by R600DuraAce, including the now famous 400 WATTS OF POWER! thread and they are all like this.

Seriously, I think these are very well crafted jokes/trolls and he's just having a bit of fun with everybody, and nobody is getting on the clue train.

Or I could be completely and totally wrong.

edit: I should have read all the way up - iamtim already had it nailed

I think you're right, it's fun and a few get it, some don't. It can be hard to tell who gets it and who does not. My guess is most do get it.

I'm just throwin' in here to say that I was here, on the scene, when this thread happened.
For historical purposes only, you know what I mean.
My grandson is going to want to know where I was.
Cause you know, this WILL be recorded as a classic.

At 135 lbs, you are such a bottom 10 percentile for male weight that when you introduce you "friends" to anything larger than a small child you'll bounce off like ping pong ball.

It must be really sad to only be able to feel like a man on the net, where your physicality isn't an issue. God forbid you ever picked a fight with a grown up male...

Come to think of it, I'm left with feeling sorry for you all over again.

Well, I've met the guy, I bought wheels from him, he's been in my house. He is a skinny Asian guy as some of you have already said (me? I'm a 50+ white guy with a middle age gut), English is not his native language. He did have a sense of humor, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is all a joke on his part, having maybe realized the first time he said something like this on the forum it got a rise out of everybody. He sold me the wheels at a very reasonable price, in fact I can't bear to pay anywhere near half the price of new wheels these were so cheap (Velomax Tempest, the older version, the current ones run something like $750. I'd still be riding them if I hadn't crashed the front one hard enough that I dented the car with it, the wheel itself only broke 2 spokes but had barely enough of a bend that it isn't worth straightening. The rear is Shimano and my current bike is Campy.)

My guess is he's pulling our collective legs.
