Another Craigslist Gem
well, my gf's bike (formerly my first bike) was stolen from her apartment, and my efforts to recover said bicycle have thus far been fruitless. however, today while cruising the local cragslist as a last ditch effort to find the bike, i just found this little gem in the cincinnati craigslist. complete with aero wheels and 175mm crank:

priceless.

Can you get that with smaller gearing for Junior races?

haha, better yet:
one of our races this year was around a whole bunch of farms early in the spring. the roads had been littered with a thin crust of manure and dirt before the race. thankfully it rained right before and during the race. good, right? no. that just turned the dirt/maure compound into mud, and that salty flavor that got flicked onto our mouths from the wheel in front was little bits of cow poop. gross.

I am confident that unless you want to go no faster than about 17mph, drafting that would only result in a leisurely ride involving dodging leaking oils and breathing in diesel fumes.
Frankly, that is actually kinda appealing to me as I grew up on a farm. It actually appears to be a pretty clean looking Allis-Chalmers.
