Yeah, what he said.

My original cancer was considered aggressive and I was only 52.

That's going too far for me.

I've been around long enough to have made the mistake of posting a pretty crappy USPS-colored aluminum Trek in that thread back in the day. Was not well received.

I would take sbxx up on that, rjones.

This ain't no party.

This ain't no disco....

Jockey wheel?

Jockey pulley?

Derailleur cog?

My dad doesn't seem like an emoticon kind of guy. I was shocked (!).

Damn. Anyone know how to set up an RSS feed to trawl a message board For Sale forum? I missed a great deal on watch that I really want yesterday. :mad:

Well, Derailleur cog might be acceptable if you're rockin these:

^^^ Those them 3D printed Ti jobbers?

Oh! Great news! Got a hammock strung up in the back yard yesterday.

Post-ride beer lounging upgrade. Too bad it's going to be cold and rainy all weekend :(

I used to all mean in that thread. Now I generally keep quiet when it's bad.

There is that guy that thinks his Focus is under 12lbs. Having spent a few years in that world, I say no chance.

Yeppers! 1500 Euros for the pulleys and one derailleur plate, IIRC.

Yup, he's dreaming.

Holy.... Those look spendy.

I won't say cog anymore. Either way, I have a pair sitting out, so I get to go to the bike shop now.

I think 11 pound bikes are reserved for people from Bulgaria that build their own frames.

The CeramicSpeed stuff is hot, but spendy.

I like wheel or pulley.

Convince yourself that you're worth it.

Mr. H is coveting this for my TT bike. He even went into the shop and priced it all out. Thinks it will buy me a few seconds.


Haha he now does this spontaneously, thinks this stuff up on his own. While I am the one saying, "Wut? That expensive..."


Apparently last time we saw coach, the two of them had this big extensive conversation about how to make the TT bike better. I am so not interested in the mechanical aspect of bikes that I guess I wasn't paying any attention. I don't remember talking about most of it. But he made a list and has been ticking things off on it, item by item.

Speaking of overpriced crap, ever since I trolled [MENTION=185471]WhyFi[/MENTION] about that giant green 500mm lens, I'm seeing ads for Adorama on this site trying to get me to buy $26,000 lenses.

When a camera lens is double the price of my car, I'm probably not in the market.

I love Mr. H. You should take him up on it.

It's jewelry, and I would hesitate to put that on a crit bike.

I remember spending endless hours analyzing ways to shave weight, but keep the bike a daily rider (and one I could still use if I got fat).
