You should read Hunter S. Thompson's explanation of how to react to a cop wanting to pull you over. I wouldn't necessarily suggest it but if you do, make sure to forget the beer can.

My new ride... just built it on Saturday. So sweet. Specs are here.
Worth noting: I'm riding a 50cm and it's the first bike I've had that doesn't have toverlap. So nice.

Here is the $10.00 Trek 2300 I'm putting back on the road.
My intention is to use it primarily for commuting to work, and for recreational riding on the weekends.

I just bought a NOS 2004 Giant TCR Composite 1 (Medium) for $1999 instead of $2599. I'll post a photo of it as soon as I get it to stand still. I've never had such a light, responsive bike that smoothens out all the nuances in the road but is also stiff for pedaling power and in the corners. Great bike.

Here is my race bike, I got the R1000 last year because I liked the color, then swapped the Ultegra for Dura Ace and just got some new wheels on it. Can't wait for this weekends race.

yeah it took them literally maybe 10 minutes to make everything work right. its been one of those weeks for me and i think that the stress and lack of sleep(due to stressful work environments) didn't help at all with the fixing of the problem...the lbs didn't catch the problem on the first visit either, as i've said in other posts. anyways, everything is great now...i just need a chance to actually get out there for awhile and ride my heart out.
