I was there in '84/5 when the Bears used the bubble for a training camp and in '89. Shot buckets in Kenney gym next to Newark CEL while Marcus practiced free throws at the other end... he sucked at free throws.

Na, it makes me laugh. I know I'm right. When people start arguing points that are totally irrelevant to the original discussion, My eyes get glassy.....Talking about tanks and slippage....

no, not right away. I stopped and booted it with a poptart wrapper, but then my co2 malfunctioned and I didn't get quite enough in it. so after a while I got a snake bite. I believe it was caused by a ply separation but idk for sure. Man that is one big ass picture.

I too enjoy a quiet bike on a smooth road. I had no idea what Pcad considered a morning ride.

Just 'cause we are talking about tires I will throw this out there. I have been using these tire from a guy on ebay, nice bike tires .com. $42.00 a set to the door, cst ultra speed. they have a kevlar belt and roll great good handling too. I have them on all 3 bikes. They actually replaced the Bonetugger race x lites that I had on the litespeed. God those tires sucked. Anyway thought I would throw that out there.

Nope. We going to end up in Finale Ligure to see my wife's family from the old country. She doesn't want to deal with traveling with both bikes on the train.
So I want nice bikes. The place I tried to book this morning (Backroads) rides titanium frames. That would have been cool.

Razor, in spite of the more believable time, I still don't believe you.
Going 32 during a 20 mile effort means it was hilly, if it was hilly that speed is BS unless you went mostly or all downhill. If you did an out and back, I suspect series of sprints and shutting off the timer while stopped... and there is always changing the calibration on the computer.
I would not question you at all if you had not already established your propensity for BS.
Keep trying though.
