err. If only this was a 56. https://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/bik/2181562257.html

i'm not one to be real concerned about exploding carbon and all, but I would be very concerned about buying a carbon frame that was pro raced "only a few seasons". You know it hit tarmac quite a few times.

I wouldn't touch used carbon with a 10' pole.

I'm even sketch about used Al bars and swap those out ASAP after buying a used bike I decide to keep.

new derailleur hanger and no fork.

used bikes. do you trust a seller?

use your fingers.

disclaimer: they don't taste so good.

real or photoshop?

It would be worth looking at, and maybe talking the price down. If it looks like it was wrecked I wouldn't buy it

No idea. There's a couple different pictures in different positions, so either they had an absurd amount of time on their hands or they used photoshop

I'm betting on photoshop, since I doubt the real things would stay standing.

photoshop. There is a very easy brush that will do that effect. It isn't even good.

Well, it's confirmed. For the third year I'll be doing a ~600 mile, six day sailing race from Key Largo to Tybee Island on a 20 foot, 2 person crew, catamaran. Last year the handle that hooks to my harness broke and I was separated from the boat in rough seas, forcing me to active my EPIRB (electronic position-indicating radio beacon) and spend 30 minutes floating around in the gulf stream wondering if I was going to be eaten by a shark at any minute. Activating the EPIRB caused the Air Force to call our ground crew and send out a dingy to pick me up and take me back to my boat--which I could see, but my crew could not see me.

Not much relevance to cycling, just excited

nice... stupid, but nice.

and that is coming from another sailor.

Pictures.. just for fun.

He's an Acat sailor. They void their warranty if the wind is blowing 22knts+

That's even dumber than cycling.

Confirmed by the pictures.

So, they didn't miss you when you fell off?

you're an idiot. have fun.

When I fell, there was no one driving the boat. By the time the other person on board realized what had happened and got the boat under control he had already sailed a couple hundred yards away. In big swells, it was impossible for him to find me again. He was looking, but he was way off where he was searching

I caught part of Jaws 2 the other night. The kids were riding in boats kind of like those and the shark came and gobbled a couple of them up.

the bit where an older girl jumps in to save a little'un was scary.

hey blr, what do you do if a shark comes up from the deep so you can't even fight it off?

that is responsible for a whole generation developing lack of bathing regularity.
