Clydesdales/Athenas (200+ lb / 91+ kg) - My Fat Guy Bike Kicks Your Fat Guy Bikes @$$!!

'04 Trek 2100c
Mods:
Mavic Open Pro/Dura Ace hubs
Ritchy "Adjusta-belly" stem (actually damn nice)
Brooks B-"what heft"-17 saddle
Ritchey Bio Max II bar with "Ergo" shaped drops, as in "I'm fat, ergo I can't reach the drops"
Dura Ace STI's and Rear Derailleur
Ultegra brakes
I'm now in the final stages of modding a top-tube mace holder to accept an (one) eclair, gotta carb up on them longer rides and all.

Oh yeah, I just ticked over 1000 miles on the comp since March. I'm kinda proud of that, given my travel schedule.


Nomo - didn't go to bed tonight

EDIT: PHOTO'S HERE: http://www.flickr.com/photos/38096831@N00/

and bacon too!!!!

Well? We need photos man...

This thred is worthless without pics! :D

Put the eclair down and show some pics.

Yes, I want to see the eclair holder mod. That might just be the next "must have" component eveyone wants. It will definitely be OCP if it comes in carbon. :D

Bump

Yes, I'm hoping those ignorant of the sport will assume I've won something :D

How you liking the Brooks saddle.

And now it's got a full century under it.... I know some skinny guy bikes that can't make that statement...

Uh, I really like it. My butt was sore after the century yesterday, how could it not be when it took me 8 hrs of riding to finish :rolleyes:
I'd advise anyone north of 230 or so lbs to lace the side flanges together to keep them from splaying out under "load".

Nice bacon holder. I got to get one of those. Except mine will be for pizza.

Did you get it from Performance?

No, Performance only had a segmented one, with parts for chips and chili con carne. I got mine at REI. Pizza was out of stock there but they also had a pork rinds but I don't eat pork rinds so I just got the bacon and eclair.
I'm still trying to figure out how to stuff popcorn in my 2nd water bottle.
:D

Very cool, welcome to the club...you know...everyone talks about their six-pack abs....well I GOT A WHOLE KEG RIGHT HERE BABY! *grabs gut* :D

I haven't gotten into the stoarge on the bike thing very much yet....I'm still riding with a bag on my back, so instead of an eclair or two I'll just put some sandwiches or something in there. For junk, I might put a zipper pouch on the strap for some beef jerky...gotta have the good jerky!

Don't your thighs hit the bacon holder? My thighs are rubbing on my rear brake cable..could not imagine the Bacon box between my legs.

that's how you cook the bacon man! :p

Too bad the bacon being cooked is my flesh!!!! I will pass..... :D

Bacon box between my legs.

That's an icky visual :eek:

*edit* i love the bike, not the icky visual
