Why do something like that if you care about ride so much?
Flame away.
this from the same person who was looking for 195mm+ crank arms,
spouts anything he reads on rec.bicycle.bs, is heavily into weightweenies.com
and started the totally lame Darthvader school of bike racing.
Noob? seems to me you've been riding less than 2 years? something about
being a champion weight lifter before? I started riding in the 70's so
don't be throwing any Newb BS around.
so 53 here's a little challenge for you.
Show us pictures of your rides, and not from manufactures websites, actual
honest to god this is a picture of my bike.
and I do have to apologize for my little track challange, it really
isn't polite, you name the track and time and I'll come play, you
don't have to come here.
1984 Pogliaghi pista frame, Fiamme Red rims, 14/15 ga spokes on campy pista
high flange hubs. It will eat your lunch anytime anyplace.
