Dear TEAMROBOT,
I broke my FS frame at the start of the pandemic and swapped all the parts over to a HT frame. Problem is, I'm having just as much fun on the HT as I did on the FS. How do i justify to myself that i need a new FS frame?
Self diagnosed answer, don't worry about it, there are no FS frames around to buy anyways.

Dear robot.... My back hurts after a long day of 40 minute climbs, my old 40mm stem seemed fine compared to my new shiny Ritchey Superlogic C260. What should I do?
