Canned O2.. you knew it was coming.
Would this be a banned substance, UCI wise? A water bottle full of hyperOxygenated air?

that canned oxygen crap reminds me of the scene in spaceballs where mel brooks breathes in the canned air when his planet is running out of it. remember when something like that was ridiculous?

to the crackhead that stole the lights off the front of the bike last night while i was working: if you're that desperate for money i can get you a job as a dishwasher. why do you need the lights WITHOUT the mounts!?

mmmmmm.Pickerel...I have an affinity for perch as well.
I have a pair of Seinheisers (sp?) that have the curl around the ear thingy on em....love em. They sound great and the little curly-cues keep em in the ear when I have hat/helmet on. I listened to a pair of Ca-razy headphones at the Brack wine and cheese party a few years back. Used to be an audiofool myself dontcha know. These headphones were over $2000...were super comfy....came with their own Chrome, half-moon shaped tube amp and were the best sounding anything I have ever heard. The coolest part was as I was listening to them I wanted to ask my buddy a question...he was standing right next to me. I had the volume on the amp at max......it was crazy loud....but I could still hear my friend talk in a normal speaking voice. Weird.

Hey look! A modern day L'il hauler! Should've gone with cantis though.

It's double the cost of what I paid all those years ago, with lower end components. Not sure if that's a good deal or not.

You might do better to sell off the frameset separately and buy the Capo as a frame-set, using the leftover bits on the Capo. CL is pretty dead in the winter, so you may not get as much as you would in the spring/summer. I've just lately realized that I have too many bikes and will sell off but I am not in a hurry so I am waiting for the spring-time.

Haha... that's amazing zip!

Hey all... long time no.... nothin'. Really looking forward to Saturday!! That's right, two exclamation marks. It's pretty warm, but it is a little mucky. As always, it's Wednesday so I'm down to ride if anyone wants to meet for a little spin around town. Lemme know.

Is it too early to start yearning to wear shorts on your ride again? Yearning I say.
