Subject: [CR] Ah, the delicacy of some classic bike riders!


Once again we have folks telling us how they could not possibly view someone converting a nice bike into a fixed gear without vomiting. It must be pure hell to be so delicate that one cannot allow someone else to do what they would like with their very own bicycle without producing such a reaction. My heart goes out to you who are so afflicted and I hope you can toughen up a bit. If someone having different tastes in bicycles upsets you so, it is difficult to see how you could survive looking at all the real world atrocities going on. Perhaps we could establish some sort of additional support group so that folks of such a uniquely sensitive nature could receive a bit of nurturing. Surely the world must recognize that they are uniquely qualified to dictate to the rest of us Barbarians just how we should enjoy our hobby.
