whoa talk about post surgery weight gain...that is the worst part about surgery, getting fatter and weaker...hopefully after the staged hearing he'll be motivated to take one more stab at le tour in 2009 (if not 2008).

Lance and Jan look like bike racers. Even Tyler. But Floyd? I look more imposing than Floyd on a bike. Which should underscore the 'looks are deceiving' concept more than anything. Floyd could beat me on a tricycle after a fifth of Jack (the Jack might actually get him DQ'd by Dick Pound however) as could half the weenies on this Forum.

Other than the art-and-crafts paint jobs, what is the appeal of these frames over many other aluminum frames??

Next you'll be comparing a Bikes Direct Aston Martin with the real thing, even arguing that the door tolerances are way more precise executed from Taiwan.
For the time being stop defending that Cervelo purchase. Swap it pronto for a Moto Le Champ or whatever

I was making a silly joke/pun. You said your Marcelo rides "like a dream" which reminded me of Colnago's Dream frame. *shrug*
The Responsorium is Pegoretti's new frame made out of Columbus' XCr stainless steel tubeset. I only mentioned it since the topic is on Pegoretti frames.
