Which is why I bothered linking definitions.

Bit of a pet peeve, that one?

I'm dyslexic and struggle with spelling and grammar, but also find it hard to make sense of bad writing.

It's quite feasible nutsjesmoar hasn't realised there are two words. I didn't mean anything by it.

^ Fair enough, I have strong tendancies in that direction (Break Leavers etc), but I'd also be a bit bothered if we ended up with non-native speakers feeling they can't contribute for fear of their efforts being parsed by the grammar police!

Me too. That's why it's nice to be nice about it.

Free english lessons? Can I have one miro? :D

Sorry guys, I'm on grammar school so my English is better then an average Dutch person. But faults like the difference between 'to' and 'too' are easily made for me, especially when I have to think about what I want to say and also have to spell it right. You feel me bro?

Bit wet outthere today. First time on the local trails with the new setup. Serious improvement. Love it :)

DO IT! It is awesome!

Its super versitile. Super fast for innercity riding. Super low maintenance comparing with a geared MTB. Its a great winter hack (has fender mounts for proper full fenders). And leaving geared cyclocrossers in the dust/must on it is just one of the better feelings you can encounter in this univers.
With little change in parts it could even be light tourer.

I've been bitten too. currently thinking pompetamine frame with crabon forks, drop bars and otherwise cheap components.

Ah, I was wondering if this had gone to the forum! Would have put a punt in if I needed another steel track frame.
