NOW, this brings me to a new topic.
Carbon Zipp wheels like his would not be considered SWAG! I they were, ALL of us would have them. Sure, they are popular and AWESOME looking, but I'm still riding on my multi brand wheels which dont even match and I have been riding for a good 7+years on this bike.
All in all, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the unthinkable just happened...Pcad is wrong about something, in fact, 2 somethings!!
AAAANNNND go!
Of course you are 100% correct, but that isn't the important thing.
pcad is like that old uncle that is we all love, but is not all there. He does ride his bike more than 99% of the jokers on this forum and he does race his bikes.
At the same time he does have a diminutive teammate that is much more successful racing-wise that is at his wit's end about how inefficient pcad is with his training hours vis-a-vis his racing accomplishments. "The little one" doesn't fully appreciate the other therapeutic value that the simple act of riding a bike has for pcad, i.e. riding a bicycle is not solely about winning races but it is also about saving his life.
I will bust pcad's balls on this forum, but it is all in good fun. I just figure that his use of "swag" (or any other spelling) was akin to the use of the word "bad" in the not so distant past to mean the very opposite of the "accepted" definition. Then again, he might have been totally clueless.
