Forget 100mph downhill - I want to know how to do 50mph uphill !
BTW, has anyone noticed that several of the questions have a very similar style? Do you think he's asking them himself?

the only way that bike could go a hundred is if it were dropped from a plane at 3 miles-

This really is too good. I have seen where some people have "threatened" to call the shop, but has anyone done it yet? If not, I will do it at work tomorrow.

this is what it said "I called the bike shop. It's a real bike, but the claims are a bit, how shall I say, exaggerated."

He says hes entered 20 races and worst has been 5th place. Well if you can go 50mph up hill and 70 on flat you would think he would win every race by 2 hours!! Just a hunch lol

Is the seat tube of this $500 bike stuffed with $6,000 in cash? Even using large bills, how did you manage to cram it all in there?
I'm not expecting an answer....

100mph with 52x12? Not unless your cadence is up around 550.

He answered more questions:
Q: I was wondering if this bike would be able to handle freeway riding? At the types of speed that you mentioned I should easily be able to keep up with freeway traffic but would people want to crash me because of jealously towards my spandex gear.
A: i have done freeway riding, ppl arent so much of *******s once your up there

I just asked this question...
"Enough with the silly questions now.
I am an avid Giant collector and was wanting some more information on this bike. I have #2-4 in this model (can't seem to find #1) and was wondering what the least amount you would take for this bike? I can paypal or Western Union you a check for $5K tomorrow. I see that it is red in color? Are the cranks and rims made of carbon fiber or unibotarium? I know that my other 2 bikes have unibotarium cranks, and they are super fast. I have not made it to 50 mph uphill, but have easily made it to 70 mpph downhill on #3. Please respond as quickly as possible as I really, really want this bike. I will be in contact with the bike shop tomorrow to get more information.
Thanks,
K"
