Wow! Is there _anything_ that Tom's not an expert in? ;-)

Yup, tommy knows, for example, that you can pop a dent out of your
toptube by riding the bike

Because you don't understand the mechanics of it means that it doesn't exist.

It doesn't exist, Tom. You can't pop a dent out a bicycle frame tube by riding the bike. Thinking you can is a sign of insanity.

If you think otherwise, please do explain the mechanics of it. Give us
all the details.

If you have a slight dent in high performance steel. the tubing can revert to its natural shape under stress. How can you call yourself a mechanical engineer and not know that? Flunky not knowing that is fine since he doesn't know shit. I reported that I
had a dent in my top tube and that it disappeared after heavy stress. you and Flunky called me a liar despite the fact that you didn't see it and now show you don't even know the mechsnics behind it. How many years did you train to know nothing?

I must say that I don't understand you people at all. Why would Andrew argue that Tom Ritchey built Brandt's frame when a man who was working there said that it was Peter Price? Tom had to learn the art from someone. And he was building down hill frames
at that time.

Flunky is telling us he's a racer and it turns out he's over 65. Exacttly what does he gain from saying that or telling us he rode 2, 200 mile days? Who the hell does he think he's impressi9ng by saying that yhe didn't look down at down tube friction
shifters in races when even pros do?

Where the hell do you get off not knowing the properties of tempered steel and commenting on it?

No company could survive you and a boss that spots you not working and does say anything about it.

Who ever said my boss caught me not working?

You did asshole - you said that you were watching baseball and your boss came around and asked what the score was - not that he asked why you weren't working. I never worked one job where a boss didn't demand full attention to your job.

WHY would I take a picture of a dent on my bike.

To prove to us that you weren't imagining the entire episode.

And if I took a picture of the area that dent had been in after it disappeared what would it tell you?

That the dent was imaginary to begin with.

You should understand that _nobody_ here believes this "magic dent disappearance" fairy tale. Not one person has pretended it's possible.

Frank, you continue to show why you were unsuccessful as an engineer and had to fall back to teaching communism to students.

Oops. I wrote that backwards. It should be:

"1095 is not considered a good steel for knifemaking because of it's
poor edge retention."

Maybe good for kitchen knives, most of which do not need a very sharp
edge.

It's like talking to a wall.

yup

In your case it's like talking to nobody at all. You're the only one on this newsgroup that czan make Liebermann loook like a genius.

"Dennis"? lol....let me guess, Dennis is Tom Ritchey's real name and

I know him when he was riding klunkers down that hill over in Marin. I
hate to have to explain this to you but he is not this supreme expert
you seem to think he is. And I've ridden bikes of his that rode like
shit. He screwed around with geometry for some time before he hit the
sweet spot. While those guys wee riding a total of perhaps 5 miles to
crash down that hill I was riding 50 mile round trips with 16% climbs on
it. My cousin lives 2 or 3 miles from tha5 hill.

Shouldn't you be telling us about those 2, 200 mile days at an average speed of 20 mph. One of the engineers I worked with was Dennis Ritchey so I confused their names. You on the other hand simply lied.

I'd love to, if that had ever happened.

I never claimed in any posting here or any strava activity that I ever
rode 200 miles in one day. It never happened. It's just another one of
_your_ lies. not mine.

You are jying through your teeth. There is no other way I would have gotten the idea that you said that, unless you did. And since no one else seems to have read that, it is pretty clear what people think of your postings, you worm.
