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?
Your first sentence is metaphysics or fantasy but not
physics. It is absolutely not true in the real world.
Secondly, as I suggested the last time you dissed Mr
Ritchey, ring him up and ask him. He's not far from you and
very much alive.
I know Dennis and you don't. 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.
