Rookie rating

[davidwater]

Just some food for thought..

Lets say I post two for sale adds tomorrow:

1)2009 Bianchi 928HOC with campy Super Record - R35000

2)2009 Spez S-Works Epic carbon disk with XTR and F/S e100 fork - R32000

 

What would the reponse be like?

 

Have a nice weekend

Off to the local pub with the missus after a windy but good ride.

it's quality not quantity

Not to step on toes here but I find it strange that the posts from the ROOKIE clan makes that little bit more sense than some of our "more experienced" hubbers. Why is that?

I sommer know I'm going to open a can of worms with this..

Close that can of worms! You have to be an ultimate Hubber to do that or ask one of us to do it for you.

Point taken

If you push it you can get those next 15 posts in and start a new thread about Domestiques.

This "rookie rating" is BS' date='

Although I dont try and up my "rating" with meaningless drivel, I have visited this site EVERY DAY, for the last six months +.

Will I be doubted when trying to sell some bike or spare parts based on the fact that I am a "rookie"?

I read most of the threads, and see all of the for sale adds. By now I know the major "players", and, like ,most of the hubbers, laugh at the replies that varied from "testosterone outbreaks" / healthy rivalry / compliments / advice / well wishes.

Please revise my ROOKIE status.

thanks in advance

Remember, I have been on the receiving end of this stick in a couple of posts - no point in getting upset.

 

This is all in the name of healty hubbing i guess.

I will show respect where I feel it is granted to do so.

Off to the local pub with the missus after a windy but good ride.

Response would be :- Size and pic of bike preferably on a couch.

You know of course it's us Rookies that keep these forums alive!

I sommer know I'm going to open a can of worms with this..

at first I thought you were taking the piss and found the original post quite funny.

 

as kirk lazarus would say:'everybody knows you never go full rookie'

 

however it appears you are dead serious and would actually like ADMIN to change your status because you know how to ride a bike and don't like to talk ***.

 

am undecided as to which is funnier now.

 

but well done for starting it(not many rookies can claim a 30+ thread made up entirely from a brainfart), if nothing else you're closer to becoming a 'domestique'. nothing actually changes, but you can print out a noddy badge to hang up at home.
