Don't be surprised if everyone jumps on you an calls you a troll. That's sure what it looks like to me. You've been warned.

think it's more like spamming than trolling. spamming I believe is posting an ad trolling is acting like an ahole. thanks for the link and hope you stick around and post some good content

it's always suspect when someone joins and there first post is a link to an ad instead of a "hello, I am new here" or a "I am new to the sport and have a question" type post. Just so you know

Good link, much less spammy than the one that is now deleted but showed up on like 3 sections of the forums.

BTW, Javelin is in serious need of a web designer/developer. Frames!? Seriously!? Giant .gifs of doom!? Did they design the site in 1994 and never touch it again?

Thanks for all the input. I admit, I'm more of a reader than a poster. I've been looking for advice on a new bike, browsing different sites and discussion groups, etc. I thought this might be helpful to others on this site, as I hadn't seen it here. I totally agree on Javelin's web site.

+1.

I agree that Javelin is in need of some web design. Nowadays, a company's website is pretty much how most people get exposed to a company, and a ghetto website can give the impression of a ghetto company. I didn't think this one looked too spammy though, so I hope I didn't come off too jerky. I was more just trying to warn you that people here are pretty aware of spamming. It's usually when it's someone's first post and what not, but I hope you'll stick around and contribute more than just off-color, unfunny jokes like me.

I'll accept that position. I think I'll have to shave my head and get some hardcore tattoos, but I'm willing to do that. Anything for the betterment of the trifuel community.

Thanks Chunky for being the Trifuel bouncer! I have a shaved head and a Tat but not the confrontational demeanor.

Dang. Now I feel bad. I need to turn down my spam radar a few notches, and be less confrontational.

Oh, and I need to get that tat. I'm thinking of one of those Mike Tyson ones all over my face.
