It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I got a Specialized Camber for like $25 bucks off a SD link and it's featured on the above list for safety.

Thanks!

This year is replacement year... Technically a few more months but I should just pick it up now so I'm ready with it. Going to do some tuning up too, I don't ride for my commute anymore (fully remote) so ive got some stuff to take off that I just don't need on the bike anymore....
