Maybe, I'm just in a bad mood today.... i just feel like I worked hard on cycling and bikes by scrapping parts together for a beater and then swapping them out and learning, and meeting guys that helped me and building and cutting and riding shit things.... until I'd earned something better.... the Mercian, I would have felt so dumb riding that before I'd learned about ratios, and BBs and headsets and tubing and wheels etc. etc., and all the physics and shit that goes with cycling, fixed wheel, skidding..... Maybe that's just me being weird.....
no harm intended

P.S. I don't work on the shop floor at BrickLane, so it's not me that u need to shout at.... I do understand what people say about the guys on the floor there, but I do see their point also
