2014 Addict. Stages PM. FSA Kwing bars (replaced stock bars). Otherwise stock, D.A. 11 speed, way cool 1400 gram CF Syncros wheels, very nice hoops. The bike is stupid light, super smooth, comfy, shifts like butter. You know, like D.A. 7800 did before they effed it all up with D.A. 7900. 9000 fixes all that. WAY better ergos than Red, closer in weight to the top line Sram group, better braking, much nicer looking componentry.
Compact D.A. 9000 drivetrain (11-25, 11 speed rear)
My new Zipps will work with this bike, they are the new 11 speed hub. Those new Zipps are also backwards compatible with 10 speed using a simple spacer (right now Zipps are on my 10 speed Foil).

Nope you did not miss anything and yes, if he needed them to start with then he needs them now. Dietary restrictions can reduce cholesterol at most 20% The remainder is genetic and is reduced only by drugs.

Blood work a month ago revealed a cholesterol level of 180 and HDL and LDL within range.
I don't know, maybe the doctor does.

Don't forget the oat bran. That is good for a couple % reduction at least. Just watch out no one smokes near you. It wouldn't do for you to asplode. Or is it assplode?

A long time ago, my total triglycerides were, quite literally, off the charts. It was high enough that my MD couldn't get direct HDL and LDL measurements. I got put on Zocor, then Lopid to manage the conditions. 70 pounds and thousands of miles later, I've been off those drugs for years and my levels are excellent. YMMV.

My family on my mother's side has a history of high cholesterol. Fifteen years ago I had cholesterol of 210 and the doc put me on Lipitor. I took it for a few years and stopped. Probably a mistake. Move ahead in time. I've been eating better foods, more fresh fruits and vegetables, better balance in my diet and exercise, lots of miles on a Giant.

Forgive me for ever being the scientist, but that sure sounds like a bit less than 15% to me. I bet with some beetroot, beans, and oat bran you could knock off the remaining 5% that @stoney talked about.

yes, I believe you are correct V.V.. T.R. managed to find 3 wimens to marry him. ....that's 3. And the last one was not to hard on the eyes if I remember correctly. He seemed pretty happy, and she always looked happy in the photos he shared. But something tells me that you disapprove.

One time in class we stood on our desks as in Dead Poet's Society. Very original, I know.
