I thouroughly enjoy lurking through this forum, I feel like I've learned alot about each of the members that are frequent posters.

I have to say that I'm impressed at the level of detail and nuance with which each of y'all bring to the forum. I can't tell this difference between one tire or another, this part or that part. I believe in quality equipement mostly for the sake of longevity and consistent performance. I'm a nut for bike fit but could care or less who made it, what it's made from or where it's been made. Give me a reasonable quality ride in something resembling my size, I will move the seat around maybe swap the stem out, fiddle with the air pressure. Mostly I will ride it and eventually I will come to understand how it performs best. In other words, I conform to the bike (just about any bike) and not the other way around.

As for myself, I've been riding and racing bicycles for quite a long time now and consider myself a very capable rider.

I chose SS and 29er's to simplify this process and it's working. I love it. I'm glad to be a part of this forum now. Expect me to keep y'all's geeking out in check, I'm here to keep reminding all to ride fast and smile.

Or maybe we'll ride more and geek out more, this is an "internet forum" ... take out the geek and what's left?

I'm with you, I love reading all the "geeking out stuff", but I mostly ride.
My 29" SS... and yes I'm called the geek riding the SS.

Marry Christmas all you GEEKS

If you think this board is Poindexterland then you should browse the Turner board for a bit and see what geeking out is all about.

I use to say that of myself too. But then I had a bike made to conform to me, and my cycling experience was brought up to a whole new level of geekdom. Now, my opinion is to dictate to the bike rather than have the bike dictate to me...

Hey!

I resemble that statement.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I WISH I could be riding right now. Since I can't, I might as well waste time at work thinking about it, right? It's the beauty of the internet...
