JD's Trek Posts

TBF

From the Google archives:


"Kathleen, when we rode at Bartlett, I was wishing I had my Y bike that had
been in warranty replacement since mid-December and I did state that."

And this gem:

"Even though mine broke (and has since been
replaced under warranty), I still think that the Y ride is a
damn good one for the money and I intend to ride it until it
breaks again."

Even better, a poster wrote he was going from a Trek 820 to a Trek URT
Y-Bike and JD replied:

"You'll love the difference Mikel. Going from my lead sled Trek 850 to my
Y11, I surely did."

In response to an ad for a URT Y-11 on EBay:

"Yeah?, so what's the spec?
JD interested in a Y11"

Dude, that was like so last millenium. Some people learn, some don't. You
seem to be the type like Dan V. who don't.

"Dude" what are you talking about? I already said I'm disappointed that the
thing broke but otherwise it's a nice frame. The bike has performed very
well, and except for this incident it's still tops.

JD on the other hand did an about face on Treks and then wants to come down
like he's some sort of mountain bike god.

Everyone wants to be the man in their own hood. Alt.MTB is obviously his
thing, but it's you groupies that make me laugh. Your so eager to kiss his
ass that your probably staking out the bathrooms in his town.

You and Dan still don't get it. It has absofuckinlutely nothing to do with
JD. It has everything to do with heaping grief on 2 completely fucking
pompous cockheads like you and Dan V.

Hey dumbass, your the one who's researching google to bust on JD, not the
other way around. It appears to be pretty simple -- the man changed his
mind regarding the quality of Trek frames after being disappointed several
times. It's like Greg said, people learn!

I've never met JD in the flesh, but he is well regarded by those in this NG
who have met him -- both as a person and as a bike rider. Seems to me like
you're the one who's coming into "town" and trying to stake out your own
"tough guy" ground. What's wrong, can't you handle the fact that someone
has a poor opinion of your ride?

And guess what .... I ride a Trek!

Sheesh!

Okay, just saw the battle of wits previously. Violated cardinal rule - read
THEN post. None the less, looks like your still just trying to wipe the egg
of your face there TBF. Give it a rest, dude.

"Dude" I'm still stoked on the frame, shit happens once in awhile. I just
brought back my new 80GB HDD for warranty replacement. 15 drives in 10
years from Seagate without a hitch. One bad batch ain't changing that, same
with the bike.

That being said, the egg was wiped long ago, actually right after I taco'ed
the frame. Another season and I'm unto a SC Blur or Intense Spyder.

Actually I couldn't care less what JD thinks, now Pee Wee Herman is my hero
since I saw him with that beach cruiser, with the spinners...now if he dogs
my ride I'm gonna be hurt!

Cheers

Jr (gone for a spin on my other ride)

Except that JD started the heaping and that seems to be ok
with you, right?

Now, now...I was just kidding (that's why I pointed out the model of my
TREK bicycle!).

Ah, they're not so bad. They still will be forced to admit (to themselves,
anyway) that they need you from time to time.

Mine's a '94 steel Marin. Its my croozer now. Amazing how these things
last. If only we lasted so well!

Greg, pull your nose out of the pubic hairs in JD's asshole. You don't even
know what the real argument has been about, even though you have been
chiming in from the start. Aside from the backslapping among you and the
other circle jerkers, the dispute has little to do with good mountain
biking....the dispute is much more about two views of the sport. There is
the SS group, that thinks REAL MOUNTAINBIKING is about simplifying,
lightening, spending less, and somehow getting back to basics ( and of
course, forgetting that hiking would be the ultimate extension of
this)....and there is another group of mountain bikers, that is always
looking for the Magic Carpet ride...they want the technological marvel that
will allow them to do more, easier. If someone in this category was given a
rigid SS bike to ride, they would feel that they were being robbed of a huge
part of the experience of mountain biking---the feeling that they had all
these technological solutions, all dialed in just for them, each
contributing perfectly to the ideal performance for a thrilling ride on a
good trail.
The people who resemble either of these two the most, don't think THE SPORT
OF MOUNTAIN BIKING should be enjoyed any other way than their approach.
Both groups forget that we are all doing this for the thrill and for the
outdoor adventure... They are really arguing about who knows how to have
fun, and this is a pretty stupid thing to argue about. I've been pretty stu
pid in that I've allowed myself to be sucked in to such a ridiculous
argument, by people so far away that settling the argument is a huge, long
distance ordeal. Such a ridiculous argument could only be created in a
place like the Internet, and there is no guarantee it can be settled with
some kind of "group get-together" .... you still have the two conflicting
ideas of what fun is, even after all the fitness and skill posturing get
sorted out in a group ride.

I was going to point out the anatomical flaws in this concept, but it got
me thinking. When do pubic hairs become anal crack hairs? The hairs around
the varse/barse (perineum) - what category do they fall in to?

You do realise that the majority of people with whom you are having heated
discussions, all own multi-geared FS bikes, don't you?

You do realise that the majority of people here have already ridden with
other people on the group, don't you? There are ""group get-togethers""
throughout the world. The difference is, we just want to ride with each
other on nice trails, not settle scores. I think this final point probably
illustrates our differences of opinion rather well.
