So I am going to go out on a limb and guess that you have never seen the iconic, coming-of-age film entitled "Breaking Away," which many consider to be one of the greatest sports-related films of all time (even though it's not about sports). The actor who plays the lead character is a Philly boy.

Hey Mojo31
You think genejockey and rjones28 would be held liable for damages if I follow their faulty instructions and my bar tape comes unraveled? An intentional infliction of emotional distress claim could be be substantial.

Strike that. I put a 39 on my Guerciotti when I went to Italy in ‘95.

If I ask LSS for a "smart" watch for my birthday and monitor my sleep and other vegetative functions will it improve my life?
I think maybe, but I may also just be having anxiety about not having any stress numbers for the weeks I'm going to be off the bike, traveling and sailing, this season. Without numbers I no longer feel fully there and I hate what time off the bike does to the plots.

By chance, a mail-order shop in my area gets in a lot of “special” buys from Colnago and other Italian manufacturers like Campagnolo. You never know what they have and you just have to keep checking the website. This bike was a never registered bike used for bike shows and was now being sold at a very deep discount with a new warranty.
I couldn’t pass it up and I love it. It meets all my requirements and the handling is superb, the setup from the dealer was perfect, price was right, and it even has bar tape!

Well, bikes from major manufacturers are hard to come by in my area, especially in small sizes. I’d been looking since last summer and there was nothing... zip. My only requirement was carbon frame, disc brakes, carbon bars, and Di2. I’m a fan of Italian mystique and owned several Italian bikes over the years.
