It's like being in Jabba the Hutt's palace here, even if i do feel like C3-PO.
Apology accepted Prancer, much appreciated. My point was that i had personal details exposed on this forum after most folk jumped the gun and assumed i was a troll. Most users here are only facing up because of the anonymity afforded by their user names. All of a sudden i was exposed and just for trying to sell my bike. You jumped the gun. Not cool, and especially when i'd been such a plumb! Yes, it was embarrassing as hell!
It was pretty shocking how quickly everyone put the knife in assuming I was a troll just because of getting a frame's purpose wrong, and stupidly misusing NOS. and cos of a build that just ain't to everyone's tastes.
That kind of mentality reminded me a lot of this film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMVMIHoyFXg
That said, it's a great way to weed out dodgy sellers and shops that grossly overcharge. i'd say hold you're horses next time before diving in there and publishing personal details, just because it's public domain, doesn't mean to say it should be posted in here.
Going to get some new bar tape, new stem, and maybe some new wheels. Sticking to singlespeed mind. One day i'll have a Cinelli Supercorsa and probably put all the wrong parts on that too.
