Wes, have you checked value village or sal army for singles of golf clubs, you might be able to get em cheaper. Is it cool to use a stick with a steel handle? I may have a few.

Apparently LeMond testified today that Landis called him last summer and admitted to doping.

Without having a real opinion on the matter, LeMond certainly is vocal in his assertion that everyone (besides him) cheats. Over looking his comments that Lance must have doped because he won so much, why would Landis admit to doping to anyone, let alone LeMond?

Cool program, build your own bike and make the frame as weird as you want!

Brilliant! I still think a broom handle would be better though and a 25 cent broom from value village appeals to me.

Nice ride. Ran into our very own Offhoff on his fresh new ride on Queen St and rode out to the East end and back. Also saw Navid, another courier guy who was at bike polo who's name escapes me, Eyefloater and (another CT employee) John. \o/

Sounds like more fun than the price is right/bob barker's 50th anniversary. I should've done that instead!

Bikes: Devinci Tosca, IRO Rob Roy

Rob, glad to see you've still got some fight in ya. Don't you remember being a kid and having to get "mom approval" before she'd buy you that yearly going-back-to-school shirt, etc.? That's all I was getting at.

Somna, your bike's ready.

iHerald, still waiting on a concrete response from our rep when he'll be here. I'll email you as soon as I have it.

Edit: In a cruel twist of fate, the gf has always ended up having more computers than me. Now she has more (and nicer!) bikes at home. Granted, I've got a shop full of test-rides to play with but this **** is getting ridiculous. https://www.argon18bike.com/en/krypton.htm

On that note, I'm sick of being on the fence with this one. I have a set of Mavic CD Ceramic Open Pros (32/32) that need spokes (I'll probably go DT Revolution) and hubs for a ss wheelset buildup. I want to go with a cassette option, either ss/fg dedicated or just a normal road hub and get a spacer kit. The Rob Roy is spaced 132.5 but I want to future-proof this thing as much as possible. Opinions, go. I'm burnt out and can't make the call.

Edit: I can't help myself (I'm so sorry):

[schoolyard voice] "Rob's mom buys his underweeeaaar!"
[ever-so-slightly defensive voice] "It's a political statement!"
