Patrick >From my perspective the discussion went sideways because your position came off as:
A Roadeo costs >$4k I will not spend that much I want a used racing bike I challenge you to convince me that a used racing bike is guaranteed to make me unhappy in the ways that a $4k new Roadeo is guaranteed to make me happy Anything about tire clearance fenders, aesthetics, construction quality are explicitly off-limits That might not be a fair restatement of your intent, but it is a truthful summary of my perception of your position. I didn't engage because it looked to me like a rhetorical trap. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
