Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

But I like my Cervelo. It is simple. It is aero. It is light. It is comfortable. It climbs like a scalded squirrel. It has less flexibility in the BB than a Rush Limbaugh Republican.

No Cervelo for you.

I am having difficultly coping with such a civil response. Can you try again?
Btw, don't mention that the BB is stiff on BF because WR doesn't think it matters

I have no energy to flame you Campy, I'm saving all my Loathing for the race tonight. Whatever Loathing is left over I'll use on myself on the ride home.

Pcad...I am difficult to flame because I am always right. Btw...your self loathing will not be enough compensation for your slowness but whatever you do, don't race with your Ipod like Lance did and ride recklessly.

No...as I stated earlier, Lance was listening to rap on his Ipod and when the guy behind him called out "on your left" he didn't hear him. The rest is history.

This may not be the exact link you are looking for but will promote, albeit briefly, an escape from your psychosis to indulge in a better understanding of the physics of sound...again fulfilling my role as the BF sage. Remember that a fundamental step to self enlightment that is lost on ralphie is...in an effort to overcome your abuse that has created your preoccupation with ego...this will free you to pursue the meaning of life:

As long as we're piling on...

Some cable routing pics from Taipei Show.


This is pretty trick for TT bikes.


And one more for fun.

It can be done right.

Bob,
Can we see the white paper on comparing the stress riser created by perforating the top tube with aerodynamic improvement?
Also...please...next time, remember the children when posting such pictures
Still waiting for the pics of Pcad's with clothespins and hopefully not next to that dreadful cabinet in his museum.

Seriously that is one of the wonders of carbon. I'm sure they just added a few layers to the area and drilled it out once the frame was pulled from the mold.

I was actually considering drilling holes on my new CKT frame so I could run the wire for my PM through the frame. Once I realized how big the hole needed to be to fit the head of the cable through I decided against it.

I'm not sure I get either one of these references. Am I supposed to?
