Thanks man. Which Cannondale did you have?
I had a 21 speed racing bike - amazingly light weight, I loved it because it made hills feel like speedbumps. Definitely the best bike I have ever owned. Sold it about 10 years ago though. I could pick the whole bike up with one finger, now THAT's light.
P.S. sorry for the thread jack Vlad, it just seemed this thread needed a change of direction before we lose you AND Craig

great old flick... not quite "gleaming the cube" but... yoyo V you rule! i have never had any problem w anything you've posted!! then again i have an extremely high tollerance... haha
my thought on anything that people post/dislike its simple, were all adults shoot someone you have a problem with a PM if its rational and valid the OP should take that into consideration and adjust accordingly, no biggie.. ive been called out publically lately im sure you know, and have yet to have a rational convo w that person or anyone who dislikes my posting style via PM. which leads me to believe that its not that big of a deal... nothing is.. its the freakin internet
peace out my rusky brosky!

V !!!
Go over in your corner!
Get away from him.
Craig, other corner!!!
You are both guilty as I see it.
V did not want compliments, he did not claim to be the "forum God", that's Lomag BTW.
Craig, as you said in the other thread:
"I don't appreciate being harassed."
But you did the same when you came here and posted:
"i heard this is where the circle jerk is. this is pretty silly."
Please guys, there was no need for:
a) this thread
b) coming into this thread with a statement about the "circle jerk"
c) replying to an obvious insult
d) asking for a deletion of membership (what we don't do, BTW, not even with spammers).
I think you both just need to relax, sit back, think about the last couple hours and then look forward.
Craig, you have to admit we are on the right way. You complained about the "word of the day" threads and we got him to stop posting new ones. Why leave when we are on the right way?
V, why reacting to insults? Why this thread anyways? Setting up a thread like this only leads to people telling you you're not a bad guy at all, or to people telling you to STFU. Both is not really needed, isn't it?
Please take a deep breath and relax.
No need for harsh words in either direction!
Thank you!

Thanks!
I love this forum (obviously) and I love every single one on here.
Craig, buddy, I hope at one point you might actually read this: if you can find it in you somewhere to try and see eye to eye with me, here's the only thing I can offer for your consideration. I have tremendous respect for what you do/have done (we've PM'd plenty for you to know that much). I've said some things about you that were questionable and I have to say, I am sorry I reacted the way I did. Your campaign to get me banned triggered my reaction and in retrospect, I wish I could have somehow talked some sense into the both of us before this situation deteriorated. In the beginning, we were friends and we did have some things in common, and I don't think that will ever change. It is my hope that our disagreement will go down in history as a little friendly brawl (sure, these things happen - especially, when we're talking about two hot heads throwing down at each other). It is of course up to you, but if you can put the past behind us, my door is ALWAYS open to you.

Now you're talking Frank. I raced BMX for many years, which morphed into MTB in college. Crested Butte and Moab are my favorites.
Sorry for the intrusion, Vlad.
