Still no pics of my Roubaix to post. Maybe someone will take a picture of my bike for me in two weeks at the "pie" ride.

Hey Jason,

Yeah I think that 20 years makes a difference all right! I hadn't even test ridden any bikes at all until the day I bought my Pro and it was the first one I tried out. I think I only rode the others to say I tried a few out, but I was sold on the Pro in a New York minute. Hopefully and probably there will be aabout a dozen camera's on the Pie Ride, so we should get a pic of your bike somewhere out there.

I don't know if you read it, but OC is going to loan me a compact crank (a really nice one too, that kind of scares me) for the ride...what a guy, huh!

By the way, you need to remove the "slow climber" from you sig, it's a dirty lie.
