It's a cross bike; It's so you can comfortably carry the bike over your shoulder while running.

Speaking of Colnagos, I can buy this at my local toy store for $1300.

I wouldn't be able to get past the little brace between the top and seat tubes. Yuck.

I did a rule #9 ride today in dallas. I had to go so slow in the weather I barely got above resting heart rate the whole way. I think I managed 10mph average... although some of those miles were 3-4" underwater.

So nice to see a handsome, level top tube bike now and then.

Looking good, 3A.
I've had the Kent tandem roadified in the captain's seat for a while now, but haven't got many miles on it yet. Put some Ultegra 6500 shifters on the bars and ran brake cables before I got to the shift cables when I finally realized those are for double cranks only :( So I plugged a Dura Ace barend into the left side of the bar and had that do shifting. Thinking I might need a 17° stem in there, cuz I'm too olde for the kinda drop I get from that +8 action. Nothing looks better than a 48mm of valve stem sticking outta 12mm rims! https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5700/2...e0ca8f3a_k.jpg |
LoP and went on the Drink This! walking tour of downtown Vancouver. Here's a pic of him before we started:
http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...pstge65tcc.jpg At our last stop of the evening, he actually had an opportunity to upgrade to a younger blonder model of girlfriend. He put our beverages on his debit card and, when he signed for them, our server said "Oh, is your name 'Lester'?" He said "Yes" and she said "It's not very common. My dad's name is Lester and he thinks it's embarrassing but I like the name." Ho ho ho. And, fittingly, he had on some very colorful Argyle socks and this pattern- going by what I've heard regarding previous Addiction posts- has proven itself exceptionally favored by female waitstaff of his acquaintance. ;) |

And props on the tandem. It's looking good after the roadi-fi-cation.

I sure ain't going to knock it. The extra long stem on a wheel equipped with a SON dynohub advertised on eBay led to the recovery of Machka's beloved Marinoni Ciclo three years after it was stolen. Only one wheel with a long stem and dynohub could possibly have existed in Australia, and sure enough, it belonged to the Marinoni.

I put a C40 on layaway today. In fact, a Yamaha C40 classical acoustic guitar. (Used guitars have a waiting period so the police have a chance to contact the store to tell them it's stolen. Otherwise, it would have come home today.) I'm beginning to wonder if I'm having a mid-life crisis. Or rather a quarter-life crisis a quarter later than I should have had it which is to say when I was 25ish. In any case, in the last week and a half I have gotten my nose pierced, eaten a magic cookie, seen my first horror movie in a theater as opposed to on a TV or monitor, and bought an acoustic guitar. There is a socially responsible job within easy bike commuting distance of the apartment but, since I've gotten used to working full-time, putting money in savings, and having dental insurance, I'm not quitting the Big Box job I'm in. Also, no plans to leave LoP. But wow. What's next?

I don't really care much about segments on Strava, but I do use it for my runs and I am pretty sure most of the run KOMs are owned by people who rode their bike.
