You don't know?

no, you didn't.

You weren't describing what you claim happened to your bike. You 
described a number of metallurgical properties - mostly correctly, I 
might add - none of which support your assertion.

no matter how many times you tell that lie, it will never become true. 
It takes a few minutes a day to expose your lies and misconceptions.

> and he has showed us his account where he said that he rode TWO 200 mile rides wityh climbing in them at around 20 mph rides. 

Again, no matter how many times you tell that lie, it will never become 
true. There are not and never have been any 200 mile rides posted on my 
Strava account, let alone at a 20 mph average.

> If you believe ANY of these guys you have to ask yourself why.

Likely because we have credibility - not with you of course, but then 
you think there was no recession before Obama took office and .

Your inability to think wasn't caused by your brain injury.

> The seizure stopped the ability to post and that was treated successfully with medication. So the question arises, what has happened to your ability to think?

Rogers grasp of reality and logic exceed yours by orders of magnitude.
