You are a troll! And you are not shy!

Minor improvments to the stable via the unique world that is CL... worked a great deal on a NOS 2009 808/1080 clincher set. Yeah, got some funky custom stickers but, since I essentially got the rear 1080 for fee, who cares. New standard white stickers are a cheap, easy remedy.

Anyway, I went out on with the P2 out for a quick 25 mile test ride this morning and OMG they are soo sweet. Rrrr, Rrrrr, whoosh whoosh. They way they carry momentum and speed is intoxicating.

So after this mornings ride, I removed my 08 ZedTech build 404s on my R3 to install new stickers and clean the cassette today so swapped over the 09 404 Max set that was on my P2.

i don't know what you mean…i assumes you think i am crazy for getting rid of the BH for a aluminum walmart brand bike..it's temporary solution.

No offense taken, color is not for everyone. Had I not gotten such a sweet deal on it and was buying new I would not have picked this color.

Moot point now, I was struck by an suv yesterday on my first 20mi ride about 1/4 of a mile from home. Bike is destroyed, threw me across 2 lanes landing in the center turning lane. Incredibly, no broken bones... very banged up, mild concussion, and in pain, but I'll be ok thankfully.

Funny thing, I always thought riding a LIME GREEN bike would help me be seen a little easier. Apparently not!

Damn. sbxx1985 must have cursed that bike when he said that. Or the SUV driver reads this forum and decided to take justice into his own hands.

Don't forget to get to a doctor, even if you don't think you need to just yet. You never know, plus insurance will cover it.

The lime green bike obviously brought you bad luck! Try a more common color scheme next time! LOL..jk

Don't be sorry, but do you feel better now? LOL.............

Indeed! And I shall, making appts with my primary care as well as an orthopedic dr. Have to make sure.

LOL! Indeed, guess this is one way of changing bike colors (though probably not the optimal way!) Hmm... wonder if Trek's lifetime crash warranty on the Madone's would apply?? I'm thinking not... ;-)

Tell them you were just riding along and it exploded. They will understand.

wow...and i just last week bought a lime green windbreaker to be my visibility-cloak!

The bike may have been cursed, but the rider that remains in one piece can count some blessings.

2011 Madone 5.5

I like that Lime Green Trek. You should keep the frame to use as wall art.

Nice, but needs for subdued graphics ... :thumb:

glad to hear you are alright after the accident.

if ordered a project one i would be tempted to try and get it painted like this:

That reminds me of those silly VWs.

I used to have a pair of Chuck Taylor's that looked just like that! :-)

That has got to be the nicest Centurion I have seen to date. HOT!!!

Not. black-white-black-white-black-white - it doesn't flow. At least put some white tape on it.

Trying to imitate nature?

Not hot.

It is getting white tape. I just picked it up, have only been on it once and had to go out of town for work.

Resubmitting with the new wheels/tires (Ambrosio Nemesis rims / Dura Ace hubs / Bontrager Race X Lite tubular tires):
