I know what a Power Tap is, just don't use the term often enough to make the connection.
400 watts? Not a problem... unless you expect me to hold it for more than a couple minutes.

Homeless guy on a vintage bike= bike must be stolen. 1st how do you Know the guy was or is homeless and how do you know the bike wasnt donated by a non c/v person that didnt know the value of a full camp record pinerello. Or it could be the poor guys last remaining conection to the life he once had.

Hmm, downside to C&V?
1-My computer is farther from the fridge than my garage.
2-My wife suspects it's really porn.
3-I laugh out loud sometimes, and people exchange knowing looks about it....
4-Some group rides seem to come to my attention...
5-lsdmt can outride me, and he smokes.
6-His sister can outride me, and she rides a hybrid.
7-watching norskagent climb away.
8-roccobike's basement gives me spasms...
9-the web enables access to bikes I'm better off not knowing about...
No, no downside...

I just gave a homeless guy a 54cm Raleigh Rapide. I doubt anyone wants to confront him over it.

Downside of C&V ?
Once one starts hanging out here their participation in the other forums drops off.
Everyone is figuring out C&V is BF nirvana, and there are now 2 pages of new posts after a day off of forums.

People in C&V:
People in C&V:
- Don't think that a bike must cost $4000 to be a great ride.
- Think that a 1990's bike is still pretty new.
- Enjoy spreading the bike knowledge that they've spent years storing up.
- Often wear cotton clothing.
- Have fancy names for rust... names like "patina".
- Actually take pride in their bike's "patina".
- Aren't impressed by Shimano's new electronic shifters.
- Would be impressed by Suntour electronic shifters!
