I hope I like this frame when it's built and tested.
Kinda like walking into a new bar, and everything on tap is a stranger.
Hmmm, "Will it Zeus (or suit) my tastes?"

[MENTION=13284]OldsCOOL[/MENTION] - Yes, the Pub is open, just underpopulated. And since you have 'Cool' in your name, please designate (or whatever 'assignated' means) [MENTION=429705]stardognine[/MENTION] as cool. After all, he showed up!

Assignated is pretty much exactly the same as assigned, it just makes you look slightly smarter, in print, by using 2 more letters. 😉 Thanks very much. I could tell it would be uncool, to claim coolness, without getting permission first. 😁

No onions, please. And no peppers, either. Unless they're banana peppers, on the side, uncooked and whole.

Advanced permission is good, but forgiveness is always granted to 65+, or at least it should be.
Secondly, 'Cool' is overrated.

What's wrong with this pic?

NDS, flip it.
DaVinci isn't credited with inventing the bicycle.
Nose up - it's a Brooks.
Don't kneel to the bicycle gods, just pedal..

Black pants would have matched everything else.

I've a charity ride this sat, the Pedal 4 Paws benefiting the local humane society. My plan was to play r-ball on mon. ride wed, take thurs. and fri. off and be set up nicely for saturday. So, of course, here it is wed. and its raining with the predicted end not in sight. Drat? The best laid plans...

On the upside sat. weather is predicted to be sunny with a high of around 80 and hopefully not much humidity. While I typically do the metric century, this year I'm only going for the 45 mile rte as my knees and hips have been quite grumpy this season. I figure that when I get back to the start and have a bit of food and stretching I can always add some miles depending on how macho I'm feeling.
