James (Jim?) — First, I do *not* carefully craft my emails;* I write as the spirit moves me. Or perhaps it’s logorrhea.
Anyway, “disconcerting” because I’ve blathered for decades that my 1999 Joe Starck Riv custom fixed gear was my favorite bike of all time, and now the Roadeo seems to be as “good” and I may have to readjust many of my presuppositions and convictions. But I said in in fun; there’ nothing serious about that post, except that I’m very serious that I like the Roadeo. *I *DO* carefully craft my resumes, etc. On Tue, Oct 28, 2025 at 10:21 AM James Poulson <[email protected]> wrote: > Patrick Moore, I have been following this thread with interest but I have > a question for you........the title of this thread reads: *"Roadeo > disconcertingly nice!"* > > I am curious why you chose the word 'disconcertingly' in your title.
