"The 33"-Road Bike Racing - What the hell has DrPete gone and done this time?

So, I kinda mentioned a while back that I wanted to upgrade my race wheels--my Fulcrums are great, but I wanted to find something that would offer a little bit bigger advantage in terms of weight and aerodynamics. Then a little extra $$$ came my way, and the rest is history. :)

Will it make me faster? Maybe a teeny tiny bit, otherwise probably not. Unless, of course, you count a little bit of placebo effect and pressure not to look like a doofus. :D Is it fun to bling out the bike? Oh hell yes.

After careful consideration, I just placed an order for one of the oh-so-nice options above. Those select few who know the answer, don't give it away... And incidentally, I've got a pair of Fulcrum 1's for sale. ;)

I wanna know!!!!

whaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

I was thinking Lightweight, but then I remembered you are a military doc. Government cheese isn't that good.

I'm hoping for the Boras...

:waves hand from back of classroom:

can i answer?

i hate you

I'm going with the Reynolds. They are lighter than ZIPPs plus pcad already has those.

Lightweights or bust!

Very good reasoning, but you forgot the bling factor. I the zipps say"BLING". Way to go Doc!:D

Donate your Fulcrums to a good cause. Me.

Zipps :rolleyes:.... Got to be!

Zipp 404, to match the Pinny. The Fulcrums have a Campy freehub, don't they?

it has to be the zipps

Very good reasoning, but you forgot the bling factor. I the zipps say"BLING". Way to go Doc!:D

Any of those wheels say BLING in my book. I'm going to stick with the Reynolds 'cause I think ZIPPS are becoming a bit too popular. Pretty soon everyone will have them:D

Lightweights or bust!

For the bling that doesn't appear so ostentatious, but really is.

whaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

drop the Boras and leave.

yeah, I rob now.

Mmm... yeah... I may join you on that robbing thing...

Do you ride Campy on the Pinarello? I assume so and my vote therefore is the Boras.

Otherwise the 404's...

wtf is a pinny?

you've been around long enough to know better.

I would like to say boras but could he really stray after alllllll the talk about zipps the past few months?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I could tell you all, but I'd have to kill all the members of BF.

Which might actually be a Community Service.

At the risk of derision and scorn, I have to just say this: This is the most self-important thread I have seen in quite a while.

Yeah, but it's a fun, self-important thread.

Hmmmm...another good point! I don't see the doc as a Reynolds man. The lightweights would be awesome with the PT...Hmmmm would he ever go that far?! Great entertainment for a Friday afternoon! :D

:eek: Doc trust you with his secret...could this be a Zipp sponsored Coup d'état!

I'm leaving work soon!!! Then i'll have to wait a whole 45 minutes to find out what they were!!! Share!!!

Yeah, but it's a fun, self-important thread.
Okay, then.

I voted for the Mike Garcia built Velocity Deep V's w/ Serenity hubs and Revolution spokes with purple nurples.

Only here in BF land, where I'm still middle-class in terms of bike schwag, would anyone even care what kind of wheels someone else bought. I too find strange delight in the purchases of other bike weenies, like when Greg180 bought up his SRM.

So anyway, it was just supposed to be fun. Sorry if it came across otherwise...

All I want to know now is:

Which wheels did you get???

Duh. Whatever my sponsors give to me, of course.





(sorry Pete, I take back my original post.... this is now my favorite self-important thread of the day. :) )

Obviously you have never watched CyLowe at work in Foo! :eek:

It's all good...Now where were we...Lightweight or a Pcad driven Zipp Coup. :D

Has to be the Zipps, they give military the same deal they give pro's!!!!!

Then my friend, it just goes to show that you haven't read enough threads lately.

Obviously you've had too much time to actually just READ threads lately, amigo.

When do we find out. Time to end all the speculating!

Sorry, it was a typo. I meant the "Penny", referring to Pete's penny farthing

*RSS Feeds are your friend*

You are a forum felon.

Pinarello

incorrect.

a Pinarello is a Pinarello.

a Pinny is what someone who has never owned a Pinrarello, or someone who doesn't know any better, calls said bicycle.

incorrect.
See my above post (#39) for clarification

Like I said, those Bora's would look MIGHTY sweet on that Pinny.

I know DrPete loves lightweights, but they're just too pricey and don't match the Pinny.

The gauntlet has been thrown down. Pcad will answer the challenge with an even more self-important thread in the very near future.

Jesus, man. You're going to make botto go apoplectic with all this Pinny talk!

I'm looking forward to it.

let me throw down this gaunlet:

patentcad, killerpenguin, and botto go to maryland/NVa and open up A can of WHOOPASS sometime in august?

that way we can see if DrPete bought the 'correct' wheels.
