I tried the link and the first thing to pop up was a thread "****headsonbikes: the ultimate reason to avoid carbon." The thread contained many silly profane words in only a couple of sentences. I guess that is what is meant by plenty of style. It is not for me, even if I do somewhat agree with the sentiment.

Agreed. And bendo, isn't this your blog? You're usually quite a bit better than this. I count 16 riders, or bits and pieces thereof, almost all in a club kit. Do you have a problem with this club, or is there some other issue behind the profanity?

I gotta believe your site was hacked??? It doesn't sound like the Bendo we know.

Yeah that's me. Got a bit carried away I suppose. I'll take back what I said about Ti. It's not such a bad substance. But yes, I have a major problem with that 'club'. Those dinosaurs are the ruling conservative party in Australia right now. So conservative they make the GoP look progressive. Thanks to their influence we have, among many other things, a new wave of neo-Nazism gaining traction. Australia is a less humane and less friendly place than it used to be before they came to power. Sadly, we're a democracy, so that means some kind of majority of my countrymen and women voted for them, although most are regretting it now. Unfortunately we don't yet have a viable opposition leader either. So it's dark days here. But I've made some amendments based on your feedback. Have to leave some swearing in there though! A better description of my blog might be somewhere that I let my Id off the leash a little... I did swear quite a bit there didn't I? I love a good swear, clears out the cobwebs! b |

Ah, now I get it. It's not that they ride those ugly bikes, with those (expletive deleted) press fit bottom brackets, or even that they ride matching ugly kit. It's that kit, and those particular people. GOT IT. I certainly appreciate your standing up to freaking neo-Nazis, where ever they may be, but I did not gather that, and would not have known, just from the picture.
I like your stuff, Bendo, so please, when you need or want to rant, remember those who are not following Aussie politics and provide a little background. Then, hey, guns out and blaze away.
I lust for a full Ti Seven, by the way, and that Aussie Nazi guy on one in your pic is just some creep trying to destroy a good brand. I really got into it today with a couple of hacks on FB who think nothing of buying counterfeit ENVE stuff from China. GRRR. Nevermind.
Gotta ride more.

Jon Ritzheimer's hateful message has a very small following in the US; sorry to hear it actually gained some traction down under. Funny how hate sounds the same no matter the source. Nevertheless, I prefer to talk bicycles, not politics.
