Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

You are pretty far off in your assessment. I need a phone that works as a phone with texting capabilities and email. The other stuff like browsing, I don't do much of that. Hardly ever get on the forums with it. 90% communication use, the rest is casual stuff on the rare occasion. I do use a few apps for work like Lexi-Comp, Micromedex, etc. but I don't count that use as it is my choice to use those vs. the internet at work or paperback references.

So why then do you feel the need for a physically larger phone ? I really like the smaller size of the SE, which is the same as the iPhone 5.

Would be nice to have the larger screen for email, attachments, viewing documents and photos, etc. I also plan on using the camera quite a bit more on the new one, not that the 5S has a bad camera at all. I considered the SE honestly, but ultimately decided that since it was the same size as the 5S, it would be a lateral move and not worth it.

Well, something else to consider is that you probably have much larger hands than I do, so an SE in my hand is about the same as a 6s in yours. Also, the keyboard on the SE might be too small for your larger fingers, but ok for mine. I'm used to working with a small Nokia flip phone, so the SE didn't feel cramped to me. Anyways, this is my first ever smartphone, so in two years when the contract is up, I'll have a better idea of what I need, and get a new phone that might be different.

Sitting up here at Whistler, going XC riding (private guided tour) on Saturday and DH on Monday. Looking at the mountain, thinking I am getting "old" and feeling a bit intimidated!

But, other than Europe, I have never seen so many bikes in one place. And, I have never seen so many DH bikes in one place, ever!

You know that we all hate you right now, right? You take the Langster? That would be pretty epic!

Langster is sitting at home.... For some reason I believe my Epic WC is better suited for this trip.

So, are you saying you want lots of pics???

I feel very fortunate to be up here, in all seriousness.

Buyer beware if you're going to buy the NOS vintage cinelli confetti bar tape from the MASH storeroom.
The adhesive backing will be dried out and seperated.
