Yes, but we can't tell you what. Did you put the motorcycle away for a bit?

Throw the stick!!!!
The black pic was when I bought it. The blue was after I spent a little time with it.
This is the other one, it is still my baby.

If you are going to do green, you are supposed to do Eddie Lawson replicas. I'm pretty sure that's a rule. Right, @truckstop?

nice review sbxx. Those C7's seem like a deal. I am not real happy with my newish Sram Red brakes on my race bike and sorta thinking of changing them. They are the single pivot and I just don't like the way they center/don't center and the modulation is not as good as any dual pivot brake I've used.
How does the centering work on the C7's? Is there an adjustment screw hidden somewhere?

Rain bike making progress. I had the fork and headset installed in the frame since last week, so tonight I mounted GP4000S'es and Vittoria ultralight tubes onto the new wheels, derailleurs mounted, BB & crank installed, seat post, campy clamp, Romin saddle, and stem mounted. It is starting to look like a bike. Of course, I ordered black barrel adjusters this morning to ditch the white ones, so now I will have to wait for those to go much further.

Not too sure about that. Weather is still crappy. I did complete the Tour of Sufferlandria though.

Fairwheel sells them for $330. I bought them (my wife actually) at Cycling Tech in Boulder. $300.

No Old People Were Harmed in the Making of this Post
I rode over to the bike co-op to work on a Specialized Allez something or other that is made
out of some kind of weight weenie Columbus tubeset and was crashed by the owner and donated.
2003 Specialized Allez Elite Cr-Mo 27
The wheels were trashed, but kinda crappy anyway, so just to work on it I stuck on a set
of Mavic Ksyriums I had lying around from something, with (gasp) bladed spokes. (It made
me feel all dirty and a little aroused.)
I then rearranged what was bent or dislodged, reset the limits on the back de, and since
it is my size, honor demanded I give it it's first test ride.
I managed to find a 27.2 Kalloy Uno seat post laying around unoccupied, so thankfully I
was able to add some ounces by replacing the carbon fiber one that appeared to be the
original equipment. What's with the see through clear resin window in the thing ?
Is that so you can have a clear spot for the ER doctor to shine his light when it breaks
and goes up your ass ? Anyway, I'm toying with the idea of buying it myself, except that
I suppose that I look ridiculous upon it. pfffffft

If you're overweight and used to grabbing a hand full of brake, the C7s are probably not for you.
That's my disclaimer.

To his credit, he did not say, "They can all bite me." He is still waiting for his various attempts
at curing what ails him to kick in and have some more noticeable effect.
I saw somewhere where he said he got in 500 miles in January, doubtless with time he saved not posting here.

You're not using TRPs? You had TRPs.

Looks nice, but am about to get nailed by the 2nd winterstorm in 48 hours. Then another on Sunday. #Readyforspring

I have no opinion either way, but really don't see why the two have to be mutually exclusive. Why couldn't a creator create, and then evolution kick in after? Why does a day have to be a day? What if each day is millennia, and things evolved after being originally cooked? Just a thought.
On a corollary note, there would have been no Buddhism if Siddhartha Gothama was happily married. Just sayin.

Harsh. I've been sticking to LBSs and the CL for bike purchases lately.
If this guy would consider $200, I might have to go get it. Gonna be a long 42 mile solo captain ride back with it tho.
Might be even longer with the little lady as stoker, since that's 14x her longest ride to date. Jury is still out on that one...

Nice shot Dan. That shoulder was nice and clean for you . . . yesterday.
Today, not so much.

Yeah, it's looking like it will be trainer rides for a huge chunk of the month.
