You speak the truth my58vw. But the real trick is to be 5'-7" and weigh 185lbs. You get the weight plus the compact aero, on a 55cm Bianchi. Last week I set a new personal best of 51.1mph on about 3/4 of a mile at 9 to 10%.

-short and fat means fast down hills, but don't even talk to me about up hill, (I some times wish for a ski/bike lift)
