I weigh 180 at about 10% body fat (caliper tested). Obviously, I'll diet down to low 170s by summer.
Physique-wise, I resemble more of a middle weight boxer than your typical roadie. This comes from a background of hapkido, tae kwon do, and weight lifting.
I'm a sprinter by a genetic draw of the cards. And that's okay. To me, stomping down the big gear in the last 200 meters is the cycling equivalent of the slam dunk. I climb for the training and because all aspects of any given sport should be worked on.

Take care whom you threaten, old man.
Easy to be an internet tough guy. Not so easy to back up your talk face to face.
This is you in a nutshell:
1) you're getting slower with each passing year and you compensate by indulging in gucci parts
2) you perpetuate this aura of knowledge, but the truth is you've just been around much longer; BFD, after another 30 years, I'll be able to sound like some sage from the mountain top
Don't kid yourself. I'll take my work horse clinchers - which happen to be the Neuvation R28s - and out sprint you any damn day.
Don't kid yourself. Whenever you roll into the coffee house and delude yourself into thinking the young hotties are checking you out, they're secretly doing their best not to laugh. And they don't give a rat's ass about your bike. This, of course, differs when the young studs roll in. That would be the likes of me and the other younger posters - whom you're so obviously jealous of.
And how do I know this...? My GF happens to be a young hottie and she and her friends joke about the geris (geriatrics) who wear too little in their pathetic attempts.
Get it? You're compensating with high-zoot components. But it ain't really working.
In your most private moments, you know you'll crank out more watts on the keyboard then on the bike.
In your most private moments, you know you're little more than a scared, weak, old man with deep pockets.

Can I get a Witness?
By the way, I'm also a scared weak old man in my public moments. I do wish I had deeper pockets though.

You're doing nothing more than typing on the keyboard too. Its the only way we really have to interact - which I'm beginning to realize might be a mercy. You're taking the only communication we have and throwing it down the crapper on purpose, which shows the level of respect you have for others which makes me want to listen to you even less. Incidentally, I was more or less on your side in this discussion and you went out of your way still to be a jerk towards me and other. Brilliant move.
If you're ever in Austin let me know and I'll direct you to some fast group rides I frequent. Then you can sprint against me (and others) and show me what you got. Until then, quit boasting about how awesome you are. Its annoying, pointless in the context of this forum and there's no need to prove anything anyway.
In fact, JUST YOU AND I can do a best 3 of 5 sprints for cash - winner take all. And I ain't talking beer money.
I don't care if you worship at the altar of pcad or any other idiotic bike snob.
Like I said before, your opinion of me means nothing. In fact, you're opinion towards me is about as relevant as that of the neighborhood dog which barks when I ride by.
Reply to this if you want. Just don't take comfort if I don't fire back immediately. I do have training to do. The type of training that WILL make me stronger.

Read the ENTIRE post instead of taking it out of context.
One of the reasons I gave that particular description is to qualify my view of wheel flex given later in that same post.
Or you and pcad can try and tag team me.
It won't work, of course, but then you can try just the same.

That's one angry bike weenie. You have to admire the Universal Loathing. Impressive. Even I can't get that pissed at the world.

a lot of Testosterone in this thread. It's like Floyd Landis just spilled his A and B sample all over the place.
How anyone can get so bent over something PCad says is beyond me.

I really think a guy with the user name 'BrokeCyclist' should in all fairness recuse himself from commenting on Neuvation wheels.

I was at the post office today.
Behind me was this 50-something woman wearing expensive clothes, too much perfume, and dyed hair.
We both finished our business around the same time and I couldn't help but notice the ridiculous overpriced car she drove off in.
That's you with smaller stones.

I hate it when some idiot does multiple posts. Two can play that game.
