You don't have them anymore? :eek:
I paid for a flickr account. Only 20 bucks for the year with unlimited storage. :D

What we need is a SO Cal BF premium Flickr account. It's $25/year and I love the fact that people can download the high resolution originals. They are permanently archived and we could just pass out the login as needed.

How how long until you swap out your frame for a Look or Cervelo or something?

i haven't ridden it yet. :)

but if i do, it will be a pinarello.

Just bought a tub of Cytomax Fruit Punch on sale. Nasty stuff.

Hi Dan, I hope it wasn't me that got you buying Cytomax. I like Fruit Punch it just makes my bike sticky:)

An even better time to swap it out!

S works for me . . .

Nothing too crazy - just a bike I've wanted for a long while now. It's just the frame - build to be completed shortly - stay tuned . . .

Nice picnic table!!

Hi clutchy,

I wish that I knew. Hopefully, it will make me faster. :rolleyes:

G3 is definitely faster. My Zondas (G3) improved my speed almost as much as when I switched to white bar tape.

well these are sure to make someone faster. these have to be the best looking shoes i've ever seen. and not just because they match my bike perfectly, either.

I picked up one of these today.

Just ordered a trainer. While summer is picking up, I've been getting less personal daylight time to ride a bike due to work. :(

Very cool CX'er James....very nice....:)

Did you get new legs for it?

Sick Cx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you get new legs for it?
Nope... no money left for that. But, these old legs found a small burst of renewed vigor - New stuff makes it fun all over again! :D

Buy new ones, of course.

Wall art? :p

Yeah, the bike feels really good on the road and the Speedmax tires don't give up much speed. On the trails, though, it's way more sketchy compared to a MTB... but I suppose that's good for my skills-a-learnin', right? The first normally-innocent patch of sand spit me sideways, and flyin' downhill in the drops while my arms were rattling off was just nuts. So fun!!! You should build one, George.

So fun!!! You should build one, George.Believe me, that's been in the back of my mind for the longest time.....:D

Well, push it to the front. It's probably been - what, a few days? - since you've built a bike.

I think the Bianchi San Jose is more up Georges alley:D

Jeff, you're so right...:D The project started out as a single-speed idea... but then I thought, "gee, riding uphill will be really hard." :o
