Bike Upgrade Dilemma

[JLN_not_ZLTN]

The scratch race had nothing on the JLN’s Music Thread Mens Keirin.

Just sayin’.

@brendan

it does make you a forum noob, yes.

as does the whooshing sound of the “buy a new bike” joke going over your head.

y’see, back in the day (ie. five minutes ago) whenever someone posted a bike on the forums, someone would inevitably tell them that their minor problem was unfixable (no pun intended) and that they should buy a new bike. it got to be such a catchphrase that when fixed.org sponsored a race at the brunswick track open, the race was called the “b grade ‘buy a new bike’ 10 lap scratch’”. blakey could probably provide pics at your request.

this forum is known for its flaming. welcome.

Ok, I’ll wear that.
I guess being a FOA forum noob I did miss the buy a new bike joke. thought you were having a go at me.
known for its flaming, hey? thanks for the heads up on that one!
