FWIW, Bruce Boysen, formerly of the iboblist, was a demon singletrack rider who said he'd regularly leave his fully suspended, 10 speed peers behind on his rigid singlespeed 29er. (His signature used to read, please excuse me, "big, rigid, and single".) He rode no-retention. IIRC, Bruce as almost my age; in his 50s at any rate.
Anne, relax, there are many idiots out there, don't let them get to you. Rohloff, belt drive -- is this the Krampus? Photo? I agree wholeheartedly with Eric: what works for you may be very different from what works for me, but that doesn't mean either set of choices hasn't been well thought out. But I am eager to see BQ's evaluation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
