What you are referring to is called "borrowing," and had I borrowed a bike I would have said so.<br /><br />--Tan TenovoBikeSnobNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11256142855437740163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-24296542974410689992018-08-25T17:42:19.913-04:002018-08-25T17:42:19.913-04:00So. .

I’m more the type that fantasizes about carrying a three-pound hammer around the city. Violence gets us nowhere, but nothing important changes without eloquent anger.<br /> <br />Also, cheaper Shimano- I’m a fanboi of SLX, Deore, and Tiagra. Of course XT and Ultegra are awesome, but by now the cheaper stuff is just as good in almost every way except weight and bro-status. I wish Shimano made sense all the time, but unnecessary things like flat-mount brakes and dual-control levers make me insane. At least they usually are more sensible than the GripShift/Sachs guys. I guess they’re actually called “Shram” now, which again makes no sense.Pist Offnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-33117236894560764782018-08-20T16:10:20.898-04:002018-08-20T16:10:20.898-04:00Welcome back,tan wild cat tenovo.Welcome back,tan wild cat tenovo.bad boy of the southnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-39982462764604626052018-08-20T15:41:31.212-04:002018-08-20T15:41:31.212-04:00Tan Ten...welcome back
