[RBW] Re: Grant's Stock on Bike Forums has Appreciated

I frequent a number of other bike forums - that particular one being one of them. Over the years of spending time on chat forums, I've learned to heavily discount a lot of what I read. I mean, anyone can post pretty much anything they want. I used to spend a lot of time on guitar forums and
