    I am now DF Free...whoopie I practiculy begged this guy to buy the Mtb. He was concerned at how
    eager I was to sell it and I said...oh the bike is fine, but having been riding bents for so long
    now...I really cannot stand to even look at a DF anymore let alone selling them to pay the rent.

    After the sale he took a ride on my CLWB & he asked what are the chances he can get his $ back and
    get my bent. No way he gets a refund and I get stuck with a DF...but Tuesday he wants to ride the
    CLWB again. I think we have a convert here.

    I hear it's a nice place. Much better than COWtown.

    Maybe that's why you're so bitter... now that the Stampede is over, all the cowgirls have gone home,
    and there's no one left for you try to impress with your 3-sizes-too-small spandex poseur-suit.

    Yet, only a week or 2 ago, he was still saying stuff like "all of you North Americans." and "come
    over to Europe and hang with guys like me."

    It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

    Damn! When I saw the title and Fabrizios name I thought Fab finally came to his senses. Last MTB I
    got was a $15. junker, which should show people where the value is. Re-sale: $0.00.

    I took the back wheel off and not even the trash recyclers wanted the rest of the bike, so I took
    it apart and threw piece by piece away.

    I am still angry about that $15. wheel!

    Okay..........?

    I have not been here as often as usual for the past 6 weeks or so, but when Fabrizio 1st appeared I
    thought he said he was living in Alberta and had a recumbent. When he posted anti-bent
    messages...thought this was his playing the Devil's Advocate re: he was playing the role of what he
    saw as what a typical DF Racer would say....IF he now believes he is a DF Racer...oh boy. This is
    where make believe leaks into reality and then make believe takes over. Not sure what the
    Psychological term for that is...the common term is he has

    I have two bents and two DF's. I love em all. Today I rode the DF junker bike to the
    mall/bookstore and while I was reading I never gave a second thought about whether my bike would
    get ripped off. Couldn't do that with the bents.

    Moi feel small.......I was racing Italian bikes when you were in diapers. I have the bad knees, neck
    problems and rounded shoulders to prove it. My last racing bike was a Campy Groupo hand built
    FALIERO MASI costing more than a Harley Davidson back in 1970. I was doing 80 mile warm ups every
    morning for 2 years. I can live without pain, but I still miss the speed.

    We've progressed alot since the '70s and'80s. Now you don't get bad knees - neck problems. Did
    you ever get fitted on the bike. Look at guys like Merckx back then, they had terrible position
    on the bike.

    And forget the 80 junk miles, nowadays it's all about quality time and structured training, we don't
    do things like you did back then.

    Summary:

    You were doing it all wrong.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    Too bad you couldn't come out winter trainig with Bennati, Pieri, Zanotti, and Me this coming
    offseason.

    Give me a shout this winter if you're out in the Tuscany region.

    Mr. Sherman is of course referring to Milan, Illinois. He once caught me with references to Havana
    and Cuba (we were arguing OT about communist Cuba) and it turned out that these were both towns
    in Illinois. He is a trickster!

    The reality is, that some of the people on this group ride recumbents only part of the time or
    occasionally or never. There's lots of different kinds of bikes and some of us use several types for
    various occasions. Despite the configuration of recumbents, they have more similarities to uprights
    than differences and all cyclists have much in common to discuss. Besides, despite the peculiarities
    of many participants, the people here are much more enjoyable and congenial than those on
    rec.bicycles. I go there when I think I deserve some abuse.
