Wanting feedback on Look KG361 with Centaur drivetrain, Vento wheels

Don't need no steenkin' FAQ to tell me what's "appropriate" for wreck miss -- especially when regulars post biased political blog droppings on a semi-regular basis. (One of these netizens then turns around and flames people for posting RIDE REPORTS fer gawdsake. Gimme a break.) What's "technical" about a bike's ride characteristics, anyway? (I don't read the racing group, so don't know what's "acceptable" there.) In short, I see nothing wrong with asking for feedback about a certain bike model on rec.bicycles.misc. So there.

Right, sorry, I thought marketplace was good (in terms of assessing value) and included that in follow-up -- meant to mention that.

Wow. Next time I'll take my questions someplace else, where the kids play nice together, and don't waste too much time getting sidetracked with squabbles. --M.

JT - You know as well as I do that there are NO good answers on tech. Let's imagine he asked : "I want to race, and I heard a KG 361 is a good race bike - what do you think?"

That's a shame. I wish I knew more about the particular Look bike that you're considering. My approach would have been to be helpful. It just doesn't seem like such a hardship to me. YMMV. -- Live simply so that others may simply live |

Then don't friggin come to usenet, a webforum, or for that matter the internet. Ol' Thomas Hoobs once described man as "poor, nasty, brutish, and short." That tacit acceptance of the worst in our characters is why useful contributors are ceasing to contribute. It's not that tough to be helpful. It's not that tough to refrain from character assassination. It's not that tough to get past the letter of the "rules" and abide by the spirit. It's not that tough to overlook issues of style and address issues ot substance in peoples' posts. I'd rather try--and have others try--than to "wear as a badge of honor the 'jungle' that Usenet is." YMMV. -- Live simply so that others may simply live |

If the FAQ says someone can't post a question about a particular bike model in a cycling newsgroup, then the FAQ is wrong and needs correcting. PS you're a jackass. Because I disagree with a pompous, judgmental bore? Wah. Invectively Yours, BS |
