No brah, it's a weird ass thing to post considering that I haven't said anything to you in months, and don't remember being a meany to you at all. Unregardless of how much or how little I know, at this point your opinion is that I know at least one unit more about bike junk than the avg. person. It's like me selling a crashed and repaired motorcycle and saying upfront I don't want Alanrider or GP Frame or that nice French couple from Evolution to say anything about it. Personally, if I'm selling any thirty seven hundred dollar item to my friends here on BARF instead of CL I welcome all questions, opinions, concerns, and criticisms. If I write an ad as glowing as yours I'll be able to easily defend every word of it and destroy and embarrass any incorrect critique. You kinda sounded as big of a wierdo as mcarb....you don't really wanna type cast yourself in that category.

Well, sorry bro, but the fact that you took it this deeply and were chatting about it at this level pretty much proves exactly what I was talking about. (and or what I was trying to avoid, Go FIGGA!) And maybe it has been a long since you've said anything to or about me or maybe you've never said anything to or about me at all, ...but that's because I rarely post anything here at all just because all the opinions being thrown around by people who think they know what they are talking about. (and or anyone or everyone who THINKS they have an opinion about anything) And yes, I know for a fact that you know a hell of a lot more than the average person, myself included, about road-bikes, but I do recall that sometime ago you got into it pretty deep on something "dirt related" and at some point you said something to the fact that you really didn't know that much about dirt. That's what I was talking about in concept for the most part, ... and I didn't really feel like having to do this or "defending myself." (kind of like I ended up doing anyway, which is once again, ... kind of the reason I don't post much here)
In this case, I genuinely knew that I had one ASS-KICKER of a toy/product (ie.,. a 22.10 pound lethal dose of full suspension race monster) and felt it genuinely worth showing to some of the peeps on Barf. I also knew that if you had ever heard anything at all relating to XC race-bikes, or Ibis, or carbon fiber, or a kid who got bit by a tic while riding his xc bike, or anything in the friggen world that ever passed you attention span related to XC bikes, that you would feel the need to post it along with your professional opinion. That's what I was trying to avoid. In hind site, that probably would have been easier than this so thanx for the lesson, which is; just don't friggen post of barf unless your ready to deal with EVERYONES opinion.
PS. I'm done. Should you feel the need to further tear me a knew one or tell everyone else how weird I am, ....knock yourself out. I'm signing off.
