flat bar isnt good enough

Notices
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

So if you don't buy the road bike what are you going to do with the money - leave it to your kids when you die? My worst nightmere is all of my kids standing around my coffin or worse, my death bed, and talking about how "sensible" dad was. Sorry, kids, the last check out of my account is going to the undertaker and it's going to bounce.

what you need is some help with your punctuation.

He he; don't mind Botto.

But he does often make BF more entertaining, especially when anyone mentions the US. It's just fun at someone else's expense. But I am often amused, so it's all good.

Well, in that case. As long as it`s Stevie Ray Vaughn and the plurtasm is limited to debating the merits of flat-bars vs. drops we`ll, you know, let it slide. For now. But we`ll be watchin`!
