Oh mama, that's hot!

Interesting DT shape from the bottle cage mounts to the BB cluster. Never seen 'em flat there.

It's got a lot of weird tube shapes. The top tube is pretty crazy, too.

Yeah. You guys could have compared scars. I bet they would have been impressed.

Got some Brooks for $130. They make good saddles I hear so the shoes must be alright. ;)

What's the lace eyelet spec?

Adrenaline 14
Fresh out of charm school, the newest Adrenaline is smoother and smarter than any other. This time we amped up the velvety goodness of the Segmented Crash Pad by adding full ground contact for a crazy nice heel-to-toe transition. Brooks DNA provides adaptable cushioning so your feet will glide through every turn. Heading upstairs, new lacing design evens out lace pressure to create a snug fit, and 3D Fit Print adds a lightweight, flexible, no-stitch fit. With fresh looks and lines, this go-to shoe is ready to fly. The creme de la creme of support, cushion, and balance is the Adrenaline GTS 14. But don’t take our word for it: Runner’s World Magazine named the Adrenaline GTS 14 "Editor’s Choice" in the Winter Shoe Guide in their December 2013 issue, saying the shoe "boasts all the trappings of a traditional stability model, but rides as smooth as ever.” The editors also praised the GTS’s cushioning, saying it "hits the sweet spot" and is "soft enough for high-mileage training but firm enough to remain stable."

Looking at the internet it appears I over paid. At least I'm helping to keep a LRS afloat.

Or maybe I'm wrong about the shoe. Honestly I only looked at them for a few minutes yesterday. I know the brand and the basic look of them...

Sweet. Didn't this one show up in conversation within the last week or so? I recall talk about the shouldering tube between the DT and ST. Was it you that brought it up with this purchase in mind?

Trsnrtr 11-03-15 10:10 AM

Yes. That's why the original post.

I saw several at the CX race I worked over the weekend and everyone seemed happy with them.

WhyFi 11-03-15 10:11 AM

Aha! Well, she looks pretty awesome. Enjoy. Oh, and I'm envious.

It's all about the fit.

It really is. My wife is complaining that her brand new running shoes are too tight. So, I also get to purchase new ones for her to replace her new ones with about 10 miles on them. Hopefully she can resell them to recoup some of that money.

How appropriate.

I have a fairly neutral stride but high arches. I knew if I kept running in my Payless Shoes shoes I would eventually snap my foot in half or whatever.

The LRS she purchased her shoes from was nice enough to let her exchange them so she only spent another $27 on her shoes. Very good news!

Farmer lawsuits against Syngenta | dailytelegraph.com.au

So American farmers are suing because the Chinese are wise enough not to blindly take questionable science at face value, like they do? Oh that's rich!

Oh yeah, young bucks just love old timers dropping by to give advice. :lol:

Looks like I actually have these:

Brooks Glycerin 13 Men's Running Shoes

WhyFi 11-03-15 02:10 PM

I had to do some involuntary running. It goes without saying - it was stupid.

Since it's unseasonably warm, I decided to take the boy out on a walk/balance bike trip around one of the local lakes. Now, my boy can go from, "no, I don't have to go to the bathroom," to "IT'S AN EMERGENCY!" in about 27 seconds, so, of course, his need to pee red alert kicked in when we were absolutely as far away from a restroom/portapotty as you can be on Lake Calhoun. So I had to run... for about a mile. In jeans and flat, canvas shoes. Did I mention that running is stupid?

Happy New Bike Day and Happy New Shoe Day!

Maybe we need to start a thread about running and how stupid it is...
