I'll take a FD even a triple if I can have a comfortable good 14 pound bike for well under $2k. Brazed steel or carbon does not matter at all to me. $3k-$10k road bikes are garbage.
Bought a racing Peugeot from the 90s to use it for my daily comutes. First thing I did was remove the front derailleur... lighter, easier bike to ride.

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.
