It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I hope you get a puncture. In a rainfall.

It's a cyclist thing, putting kickstand on higher end bikes is not worth it for many reasons.

They paid hundreds of dollars to make the bike slightly lighter then added unnecessary weight to it.

Still, to each their own.

Sometimes you might see a combo like this on a touring build, where you choose the Ti frame because it’s light and sturdy and then add a kickstand because it’s useful for stabilizing a fully loaded bike when parking.

We all know there are no pics because you actually used some high end hotness like a Ti dual leg. :D
