He was merely acting out his frustration at his strange, seemingly unnatural (in his mind anyway) attraction to your almond sex legs man...think nothing of it.

That is pretty damn hot but would look sooo much cool with subtler graphics. A black/white paint job with funky molecules and way fewer words would look pretty damn sharp.

Beyond that, isn't an aluminum track bike a little on the stiff side and not as comfortable to ride for long periods as something made out of steel? Just curious...

Did you ask him if he wanted to ****? It seems obvious to me that his intention was "to get with you".

Short answer: track bikes aren't meant for long road rides. Velodrome surfaces are smooth.

A good friend of mine recently started working for Louis Garneau and picked up this beast:





He loves it but I think he's realized that it doesn't make the most sense for tons of street riding or long hauls so he's likely going to hold onto his KHS (which was originally going to go to his girlfriend) for longer rides and such...

On a side note: Brooks and Major Taylors on a spaceship? Pretty funny stuff...
