Maybe Gastro's dog?
What about the winners of the Gladiators show? (anybody watch it?) They now get to be Gladiators themselves? I don't think the show promoters thought that through too well. I mean these people don't have the showbiz bodies that make a Gladiator.
I can hear the announcer " Your Gladiators for this event, Titan, Justice, Militia, Evan and Ralphie!"

There was supposed to be an eclipse last night

. . . except the Enduro S-Works. Well, it too; except my son has one now, so I have to go easy.

I ride a Specialized, but it's not an S-Works! So..... Mine sucks!:D

Saw this shot in the road forum, apparently it's old, but whatever, I've never seen it before. Pretty funny.

I do it every few months depending on conditions.

You could mount a bottle on the headtube.

Cheeto 02-22-08 08:59 AM

That's all I could look at on the bike! I have a short attention span.

Cheeto 02-22-08 11:31 AM

Next he'll want a over sized full suspension bike.
It'd have like 15 inches of travel

Of all the bikes, why did Yao Ming (or is it Ming Yao?) end up with a Gunnar? I'd never heard of those until I saw that guy's on here (Scelia?). I'm just surprised he didn't go with one of the bigger, more well know companies. Any chance Gunnar is out of Houston, or Texas somewhere?

They aren't entirely unheard of. I knew the brand before Scelia came. I think they're known for steel hardtails.

But if you think about it, choosing a smaller company makes sense. These big companies that mass produce frames would probably charge more for a custom frame as opposed to perhaps the folks at Independent Fabrications.

Pretty good points. I wonder if he actually paid for it though.
