LET THE BASHING BEGIN!!

Don't tell her I spoiled the surprise, but it's a belated birthday present for you.

I wanted to contribute, so I got you a nice pair of long tights, and a pink jersey..you'll look SO handsome! :)

For me or her? she is a pretty handsome young lady :)

For you! Or would you prefer a lime green jersey? I was thinking the pink would set off the red color of the bike....

Me? My road bike is turquoise, and I like to wear a silver full-body tight set from Moschino...just need a pair of winged silver bike shoes to complete the look!

I kind of like it :)

Uh...I just said the bike was nice...

I kind of like it :)


Thank you Matt! You're always the cool one on here.....:)

my friend almost got that over an 05 fsrxc comp... :eek:

but yeah... i like it too... it looks nice. are those avids?

but if i were to get a skinny-tire bike i'd go with something more racy, like an allez or trek 2300.

Lime green with pink stripes, I'll go for that. Chicks love the whole gay look :)

But somehow I turned out nearly normal. (Well, some will debate that.)

BTW, diggin' the stoppers on that bike, Siu.

Uh...I just said the bike was nice...
More like, holy crap those fenders are sexy!! Man that bike is sexy!!

So?

the portland is really overpriced.


siu should build a fixie conversion.

So?
so.. what?

so.. what?

So you started a thread just to bash a bike that someone likes, and doesn't even own.

I kind of like it actually.

I like it too but I also think it's a bit pricey. I like the fork a lot. I think I'd lean more towards the Specialized Tricross or the Kona Jake the Snake however.

Nope, started a thread not to bash anyone or anything. Just a joke, she dared me to do it. I don't even care if she gets a road bike, I already own one. Any road bashing I do is just in good fun.

She also told me not to tell anyone.


LET THE BASHING BEGIN!!

Then in a later post:

Were you joking then or now?

Are you stupid or did someone hit you in the head with a rock. THE THREAD WAS A JOKE. Meaning, the op was a JOKE. Man you are dense.

For the record, Pheard, thanks for the thread. Shucks, it's FRIDAY!! Needed something lighthearted to pull me thru 'til 5.

Dude, let it go. They're friends.

I like it. Commuter bikes are excellent for around town, and well...commuting.

I think it's a cool bike.

mcoine just chill, the thread is a joke, not a bash to anyone, Pheard is acquainted to Siu.

If I got a roadie, I really like the track bike trek makes.

I kinda like it.

I'd prefer a more CX oriented bike vs. one targeted for commuters.

I'm diggin my Bianchi Axis.

I'm hoping that's a Photoshop pom-pom! :D

If you win races, you can put whatever you want on your helmet.

More like, holy crap those fenders are sexy!! Man that bike is sexy!!


Yeah okay I said it. I also said it was Baaada$$$. But no way no how am I giving up my bouncy bouncy boing boings.

Road bikes make great cross training rides.


Or it sucks you in and it becomes your primary ride. Which is my case.

I second that... never thought it would happen :o

BTW, diggin' the stoppers on that bike, Siu.Great photo, I need to get some pics from my folks. There were so many laughers of me in wool shorts and my old hair-net:D . If I can find it, I'll wear it on all my road rides.

Yeah okay I said it. I also said it was Baaada$$$. But no way no how am I giving up my bouncy bouncy boing boings.That bike is great . Fenders would be stupid here, but in the Bay Area they make sense. (in a country twang)" I Think yer tractor's sexy!:D"

I have and always will consider buying one. It makes sense...if I ever do I don't know if I would advertise, but seriously, they make sense for training.

You'll get addicted.

I have an old school, nishiki roadie. All set with the suicide shifters and all!

Okay this is where it gets freaky (I have one too) How come we never knew this?

You'll get addicted.

I know...2 wheels and pedals...its like crack...:D

I had a nishiki classic geom. I gave it to my buddy as a gift to help him get into...something besides being fat and lazy...he threw it in the garbage...

I almost killed him

I kinda felt like having a road bike was betraying my love for mtbing.

After landis won the tour...there is no betrayal...you can be a mtbike god and a rode god all in one :D...equal steroid usage in both:p

Maelstrom, I know you are not an American, but here you are innocent, until there is proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The UCI is a puppet of the French media. F-the UCI and the Frenchey media.

Yes, my roadie needs a new seat some tires and some handle bar tape. I can't ride it with the wide gel seat from off my mothers bike. I want to be a god in both!! muahhaha!!

Haha...no innocence...I believe I worded that right but simply put I don't believe any pro athlete is clean...period. (and yes that refers to any sport, football, lacrosse, any sport where anabolic recovery is needed)

The french are acting like whiny girls...simply because they know everyone they support does it as well. Doping is a part of sport.

Speaking from some degree of experience, the testing methods are ALWAYS 9 to 12 months behind the drug. There will never be proof anyone dopes, unless their dealers are really supid supplying them with outdated masking agents.

I'm hiding mine in the rafters.........

I didn't mean on the same bike :p

Since when did you have one? I don't believe you. Pix please.

I think "Le Tour" was raced clean . The Pansies in France are just pissed that they can't win anything other than 1 or 2 stages in the tour. Next year I'll put my money on Tyler Hamilton . Call me a "Homer" but he's my boy. The 2nd blood sample was frozen, No Proof and you still get banned for 2 years?! F-the UCI and their testing.

The dude rocks...seriously, great story and a great rider...I didn't think another tour would be interesting for me :)
