I'd like a TT bike but can't justify spending the money on something I'd use so little. I'll have to be un-cool with aeros on my road bike.

Wow!

Ceepo claims the carbon frame is the one of the thinnest in production, at only 26mm in the thickest spot of the down tube — in reckless violation of UCI regulations.

And I thought my bike was bad in crosswinds...

aero frames must be really scary in crosswinds especially for light people.

coasting, I was doing a search on chain cleaning. I see you don't like White Lightning. What was wrong with it? I used it yesterday, but I've never used anything else so I have nothing to compare it to. (It was pretty dang messy, I know that much).

I did four bikes with it.

Nope, but, I did end up driving my friend's Mercedes AMG v8.. my god it was powerful. He took it on the park way and pushed it up to nearly 130. I think I died inside like 12 times, out of fear. But it was awesome.

Also, how do I stop losing weight? I lost enough. Last night I had a chicken breast, taco bell, pizza, chocolate milk, and half a protein shake this morning. I weighed 145 last night, before food. This morning I weigh 143.5 after food.

I think you're fine on the S2. Doesn't it have a reversible saddle clamp so it can be used for TTs?

All of those calories will grab a hold in a day or two.

It has one available, which was a big factor in the S2 > R3 issue. It's $140. I'll probably pick it up when spring rolls around.

Speaking of weight, I've stabilized at 175 lbs. Since high school, I've been +/- 12 pounds, but this has been the first time in a while that my weight has flattened out for an extended period of time.

The problem is, to be truly competitive, I think I need to be at 168 lbs.

A thrice-patched tube is now leaking at one of the patches.

Time for the white flag?

I'm too lazy to patch tubes. I should, though.

How about this one? It looks sorta similar, just less so. I saw one in real life and had to hide my obvious lust with a well placed duffel.
