that pinarello is definitely all sex appeal. that thing would look good in one of those point and shoot, in front of the garage door photos.
hauled ass to oakville this afternoon for a long ride. had a headwind the whole way back.

I'm totally getting that leather cover for my bars when I have the cash (and when I have a set of flat bars to swap out for polo!)

Also, the new bike with the internally geared hub is dead ****ing hot. I've actually been thinking about building up something similar with maybe an IRO Rob Roy or something along those lines.

I thought the T-Mobile team bikes (Giants) used in the Giro were exceptionally hot and really classy.

That NYC bike confiscation thing is unfriggen real! How in the hell do they justify that? And arresting two people as well? How can there possibly be a good explanation?
