90% (could be higher, but I dont obviously see all of them) of his posts are in some form or way negative, whether it is being argumentative in a topic, or just purely telling people what is right and is wrong.
EDIT: that last comment...how can you just assume 11kg? let damon answer the questions on his own bike FFS.
Guess it was just bugging me a little.
Also, you've read one opinion of those pedals being bad so why do you need to tell your friend to change his pedals? im sure more than two sets have been made / ridden. Also, I personally would be asking for visual proof of some sort to back up his claims, rather then relying on his simple words.
Anyway, im not here to argue any further, just answering your question.
P.s. Damon - bike looks nice, colour matches your tan ;-).
