How long did it take you to master the requisite formulas?

Or did you cut and paste someone else's work?

Who could it be? I am not ruling out the possibility of a coasting sock, especially with that name.

He has also been scheming in the Trollheim sock thread. I think he said too much. Someone screen save before he starts deleting.

As predicted, I lasted about 45 minutes. Didn't get tired, just bored.

Does one actually have to have some type of experience in the UK to post in there?

You need a TV and some movies/videos/workouts/spinervals/tdf-dvds/whatever. Music alone doesn't do it for me on the rollers, but video keeps me entertained for an hour long ride.

You also need more bike schwag. Those shoes look older than I am.

That's the Maxell commercial from like 25 years ago. Although if you notice on the floor I have not one, but two tape cassette decks, so that just might work.

It's a custom steel bike, brand "Alpine" made by a custom builder who was active in the DC area (Rockville, to be exact) in the 1980's. I got it in 1985. Builder's name was Fred Kelly. I think he stopped making frames a long time ago. If you ask some of your cycling buddies who were riding back then I am sure they will know of Alpine Cycles and Fred Kelly....

Again custom geometry necessary for my wacky body dimensions.
