Looks like the guy needs to get a divorce? Might as well walk around w/ a sticker saying "Im a p y & my wifes got my balls". Bad choice that poor fella has made.

Maybe you should invest in a brain, instead of an "r". Infact, next time you want to try to get into a conversation, or a pissing match w/me, let me know ahead of time? That way, I can check my brain @ the door, and we'd be even.

Well Mr. Smarty if you thought creatively you could have used LemondFan4ever and had room to spare. But Nooooooooooooo...

Nothing wrong with the price, but if it's going to be in his honor seems like it should be tied in with him somehow.

Lol, never understood the fascination w/fixies, so no.

Imo, wouldnt it have been a smarter decision to make a replica of that 86 bike, instead of passing off an updated version of it?

Wouldnt have a problem w/ them making say a few hundred "collectors versions" of an exact replica of it for the $7k, but the current one, as you said, has nothing to do w/ him or that 86 bike.

Well, had I known you couldnt use all 16 letters initially, I wouldve done that. Infact, I tried going back to do that, but guess what? Wouldnt let me do that either.

Lol, to the guy who brought it up in the 1st place.

Shush. Please don't.

LemondFanForeve 02-15-12 04:22 PM

Also, if LOOK had made an exact replica of Lemonds 86 bike(as say a "super collectors edition" of like 150), I might have been more inclined to buy one, regardless of the $7K tag. Theyre trying to sell an ugly bike imo.

And yet in his OP he would have paid $3000 for one in his size. He's learning.

this one was doomed half way through the first post.

I'm only surprised it hasn't been a bigger train wreck.

In fact I'm a little dissapointed. You came strong out of the box, but then some conciliatory, even reasonable posts, bled the life out of it.

Well, gosh. That'll stop it in it's tracks when this gets out! Gonna be tough on the guys and gals in SS/FG.

Sure. Send me, oh, A Billion Dollars and I'll get you a t. Throw in another 50 mil and I'll get you a T.

Ya, most of the posts are like a pack of wolves circling their prey waiting for a hint of fear or the smell of blood and once that fine line is drawn and crossed it's in for the kill so to speak. I have never seen a forum with so many threads that go into a tail spin for no real reason as I have here.

Being new here I have to say I agree. Starting to wonder how this place is even here.

The problem is there are SO many idiot OP's. It's a target rich environment.

I think there are a lot of high post "idiots" that are a lot more ignorant than most of the "easy targets".

Indeed, there's a close correlation to the lemming and fox popluations.

Ya think?

I think there is a lot of ego all over the place.

But that's life, no?
