Now I'm not one to comment, mainly because I'm new(ish) and don't know the general intricacies on intra-forum dynamics, but I think it's a shame that's Scott's gone because I liked his general shoutiness. I particularly admire him for a long, drawn out defence of Brooklyn Machine Works in general, and the Gangster frame in particular. It went: Forumenger: 'I don't like the slack angles' Scott: 'But they're [insert expletive] ace: well made, ride fierce, great integrity, always pushing the boundaries of bike design, and they're just darn nice bunch of guys' Forumenger: 'But Pharrel's got a stealth one with **two **arrospoks' Scott: 'well Pharrell is very good at checkers (see below), but BMW are great guys, brilliant build quality, integrity, experimental design, plus you get a free milkshake with every bike, and a sock' Forumenger: 'But I don't like the slack angles' Scott: 'but you could ride this bike to the moon and back its so practical, and well made......"
Rinse and repeat. At the end all I could think about was how to get my hands on a BMW Gangster and I still really want one. In peach.
Well that's my fond memory. Good luck with the bags Scott
