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

Cyclist for 15 years, off the bike for 8 years? That would make him a cyclist for 7 years in my book.
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

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'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

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?

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.

^^The salient post IMO
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

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.
