But, but, but... he also claims "pro cyclist" and "bicycle racing team owner" among his creds based on what he was posting over on Weight Weenies (I know, I know).

I'm pretty sure that being a mid-level Cat 3 doesn't exactly qualify you as a "pro" anything.

Great entertainment, though! :beer:

I'm more impressed by the 56T chainring. If that works for a guy that's out of shape, he must be something else when he's in shape. I'm not sure I'd put zero gravity brakes on a Fuji

He's a porn star. He likes things big.....

Quite a turnaround from the full disc front and rear setups of the 80's. Or maybe they don't have much wind in Colorado.

I don't understand all this elitist hate. Who cares about his tri-spokes, 56t ring, carbon this carbon that. If that what it takes for him to be out riding, so be it. :thumb:

You're taking this too seriously. Kind of like the guy we're poking fun at right now.

Honestly, it's probably 10% wind tunnel testing, 90% sponsor demands and marketing.

Looking at his kit I wonder if we will see Jack Lawrence in Team America 2, F*Ya !!

Raiden 10-25-09 06:23 PM

I'd make fun of the bike, but honestly, I'd ride it, and probably not half as well as he does.

The video makes me glad I pirate my porn, however.

i'm sure you can ride better than him, he couldn't keep up with me on the climb over the hill and i had only been riding a week after having been off the bike for almost two months with a fractured pelvis from a hit and run in the very spot we were riding

:lol:

Although I doubt Mike has claimed to be part of a National Championship team. He just bought one.

This guy's a hoot. Did you invite him to BF?

Maybe he had another type of "riding" in mind.:lol:

NathanC 10-25-09 10:45 PM

I would say flip it, but that probably has a different meaning for him...

Seriously? Haha :(

I can just hear this guy talking to his bike on a long ascent:

"You like how I ride you, baby?"
"Oooh, that's nice."
"Come on, show Daddy what you got."
"Giddy-up, beach."

And what's so weird about three-way wheels for a porn star, anyway?

wouldn't it be funny if someone contacts him to tell him that BF members are making fun of him. he should have the opportunity to retaliate at all the weenies here.

maybe if we all put in some $$ he'll get FRED tatoo'ed on his....uh...... "stem"

edit to add: im not bashing this guy, i think his gloves jersey etc are pretty cool, i personally wouldnt wear them in one giant matching outfit though.

checked his youtube videos, has a sweet car.

For a pro who is a team owner, he seems to be very sportsmanlike. If I was a pro or team owner, I imagine I'd wear my own team's kit rather than that of the competition

Jack’s PSA demonstrating that cycling does not hurt his job performance is an inspiration for all male cyclists not to worry about hard rides over 4 hours ;)

Hell, until I viewed Jack's PSA all I had was 4 old dudes in bike helmets worried about bladder problems :notamused:

Yeah, but what about the bicycling?

If you have to tell people that you're a star, are you really one?

As far as his clothing or wheel choices are concerned, they're not a real issue.
