Roadies convert lactic acid into hate. Therefore they hate almost everything.

My little sister did the tour on her skateboard. Then Lance crashed and she ollied over him.

Much more impressed by her than the MASH attention-*****s. Both from accomplishment and lack of self acclaim.

Not a fan of MASH guys because I hardly pay attention to make sound judgement, but I think it's cool they're riding fixed on the tour. Why not? Why do you hate their cadence going downhill? Envious?

They're cyclist just like everyone else. I can't comment on their personalities or agenda, but as cyclist why hate?

What kind of frame/wheels mattm? I had to sell mine last semester when I was broke and needed a new crankset for my roadbike. I had fun on that thing doing long-ish z2 road rides and just tooling around the driveway/neighborhood when I needed a break from studying. Even did some tempo on it here and there over the early part of spring.

'05 Bianchi Pista (chrome frame) w/ Sun Rim(?) rear wheel, stock front wheel. I've actually been meaning to take it out to the velodrome soon.

And BTW haven't you done 10 races yet???? Or are alot of those reports training/practice crits?

Not yet - just three "official" races and the rest were training races.. tried to upgrade to the 4's but was denied since they only accept "real" races now, even for 5->4. Oh well.

also, a demographic im an outsider too? how so? i own 2 road bikes. i own a fixed gear. wait, are you one of these guys who puts the word 'culture' at the end of stuff so he can hate/love/whatever it?
please...

You're right I jumped the gun.

My bad :D
