Ok, someone please talk me out of a dropbar MTB conversion. I'm this close to driving like an hour one way for a 60 dollar specialized hardrock.

Hold out for a Rockhopper at the very least.

You're right. Damn time zones always mess me up :)

Please continue... Is the hardrock a lesser steel or something? I'm probably stripping the paint either way.

I think some are all Hi-Ten.

The 1997 one had a cromo seattube - Woot!

Chromoly seat tube/hi-tensile steel

Some may have had 3 cromo tubes.

$60? What the hell are you waiting for?

Why a new one? His old one still sucks.

Thank you, you’ve been a wonderful audience. I’ll be here all week.
Try the veal. And don’t forget to tip your servers.

Talked myself out of the bike. Less than 60 bucks can buy me a rim to rebuild my dyno wheel and outfit the crockett for the time being. When I have some more cash flow, I can experiment with the ultra-utility bike. The crockett just has to be a little bit ugly for a year or so. I have most of the parts to do the MTB deal, but I'd still have to buy tires, cables, and still have to get a rim for the dyno hub.

The Cleveland Browns are beating the Cleveland Browns.

First day back at work= many phone messages, overbooked schedule & an emergency surgery.

I was really sick last week. One solid week off the bike. Felt good enough to ride yesterday and then again this morning. Ave temp was 27 degrees for my morning ride but I had a good time. :)

I'm down 8+ pounds in 8 weeks, only 12 to go. I've kind of hit my stride with this dieting, I've survived the Mexican vacation and Thanksgiving in Vegas (which entailed multiple buffet meals).

Going to be working the TT stuff pretty hard for the next 60 days and then we will assess "what's next"? That means more time on TT bike, less volume, more intensity. Coach would like me to exhibit a greater willingness to fail. I know exactly what he's talking about.

I now have not one but two disc wheels (long story). And I met the guys who designed my TT race wheels, that was pretty cool.

I'm almost to one full year with current coach, still love him & the process.

Thats all, y'all. :)

How about you, [MENTION=128627]FLvector[/MENTION]? What's up with you in the lull of non-mosquito season?

Haha. Me too.

That's a good one for bike racing. Once you get fit enough, it's relatively easy to settle in and just participate.

I specialize in failing.
