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

im sorry but i took them off after i zip tied them. i wasnt really thinking my whole weight would be on them. i thought my weight would be behind the bars but i guess i was wrong. anyways they are off and i bought a new set that will actually fit and look tons better.

originally i made this thread for help picking out a new bike and i finally got it. but after realizing how you guys liked my posting it made me laugh at your comments and this thread is definately hall of fame worthy now.

when my friends ask me what's good friend, i say "good upgrade or no". the words to live by.

what doesn't add up is you didn't have enough money for a bike...

all of a sudden you have teh jerseys (minimum of $45 each, and you are pluralizing it), aero bars, zip ties, band aids, razors, all of these things that cost money.

What gives?

yeah something doesn't add up here. call it cyber-stalking if you want, but all you have to do is type his user name in google and this is the first result that comes up:

LOTS of purchases on here even over the last few months, no way this "kid" is as broke as he claims, either that or his parents just give him whatever the hell he wants.

In case this is a serious question, there is a member-who-cannot-be-mentioned that was banned from Road Forum and then erased from the halls of BF altogether. His name sounded like phasor.

Velo Gator, I'm sorry. I'm just not following you on your past couple of posts in this thread, or the one in my shop ride thread. Perhaps I've had too much coffee today and can't focus, or you're making vague references to things I don't know about expecting me to get some inside joke.

Also, take a look at his amazon purchases. He has spent THOUSANDS of dollars in the past couple of years.

People buy bread on Amazon?

His review of the Macgyver compete DVD set is the best.

"For the price of this box set, and how nice they re-made the show, it is easily worth 5 stars. A lot of people gave it less stars because of the packaging. I can see why they did that, because the dvds do get stuck when your trying to put them back in. But that is easily overlooked I think. The box and everything else was just fine. MacGyver is one of my favorite shows from when I was a kid. Never really understood it, but now I do. It is a very educational show as well. He takes stuff out of no where and combines it to make different things. So if your ever in a situation where a car is chasing you with guns and won't back off, just cut off your muffler, drain a little gasoline from the line, cut open your backseat of your cadillac, stuff some fiberloft in there, put a steering wheel knob at the end, and put a inline fuse, then use your cigarette lighter to light the fuse. Now, you have a home made cannon to deter the bad guys. It's truly amazing some of the stuff he comes up with. If your a pyro-maniac, I suggest you look elsewhere, because it can give you bad ideas. But if your mature and like action, this show has plenty of it. I am always on the edge of my seat on what is gonna happen next."

for the last time, i am not a former member. i am just a person who stumbled upon this forum because i was getting into biking. i just asked my first question because the bike i got was crap and this looked like the most active forum on the web to be posting on. as for as for the money, razors are like a dollar a piece for me because we use coupons that give like 4 dollars off for them. also, ive been selling things of mine that i dont need or are just going to make me fat to get money. i sold my laptop and my denali bike to get the bike i have now. as for the accessories, i am not sure how i got the money to get them, but i did. i think i had a little extra leftover from unemployment.

maybe he just roams around the internet making mockery of one forum after another? Maybe Bike Forums is just one of many forums he has made similar threads on?

my mcgyver review is the best one i think. it's because mac is awesome. as for the thousands of dollars on amazon that is incorrect. i do get most of my stuff on amazon, and have probably spent a good 2000 or so in the past 3 years, but no where near the things i reviewed. all those reviews, i bet half of them are for stuff i didn't buy on amazon. either they were around the house or i got them in the store and came home and reviewed them on amazon. but amazon is where i did get most of the stuff i get. its because they have awesome customer service and easy returns, plus i get to look at the reviews on the items. in stores, you don't get reviews or easy returns.

as for the jersey's, they are so much cheaper online than they are in stores. they are also just as good. the one i have now fits well and is very good at keeping moisture out.

https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT


and this one i just got matches my bike perfectly and the seat thing is removeable which will be nice for the triathlon. it was only 21.99 with free shipping.

dude. I'm just having trouble with this.

Post a picture of yourself with your Fuji and a piece of paper that says jschristian44 to prove you are who you say you are.

Please, do this so we can all stop wondering if you are a fraud or not.

Yes, jschristian, just do this so we can move on. It's like Obama and the birth certificate. Just show us so we can get off this conspiracy theory(though the "birther" thing was crazy and this conspiracy theory has validity). If you are telling the truth, we can help you and have lots of "LOL's" and "guffaw's" in the process.

Leave jschristian44 alone!



How fing dare anyone out there make fun of jschristian44 after all he has been through.!

He lost his job, he went through an accident. He has ten f'in jerseys.

His parents turned out to be supportive, road rash and now he's going through a training evolution.
All you people care about is….. readers and making mockery of him.

HE’S A HUMAN! (ah! ooh!) What you don’t realize is that jschristian44 is making you all
this posting and all you do is write a bunch of crap about him.

He hasn't ridden in years.

His posts are called “cries for help” for a reason because all you people want is MORE! MORE-MORE, MORE: MORE!.

LEAVE HIM ALONE! You are lucky he even posts for you BASTARDS!
LEAVE jschristian44 ALONE!…..Please.

Members talked about netiquette and said if jschristian44 was a troll he would’ve pulled it off no matter what.

Speaking of netiquette, when is it welcoming to publicly bash someone who is going through a hard time.

Leave jschristian44 Alone Please…. !
Leave jschristian44 alone!…right now!….I mean it.!

Anyone that has a problem with her you deal with me, because he is not well right now.

LEAVE HIM ALONE!
