Past performance is not indicative of future results.

In this particular instance, I believe that past performance is a good predictor. But you believe what works for you.

Pcadette's shiny new iPad arrives tomorrow. So it goes.

It's nifty, but it's no Scott.

What was the diagnosis and repair of the creak in the Addict?

It especially isn't in the fickle tech world. Behold upstarts like Twitter coming out of nowhere.

We can see examples even here in the BikeForumsosphere.

One might look at your post count and compare it to mine (soon to hit an impressive 2,000, by the way) and conclude that you must be a better poster. Of course those statistics are belied when readers compare the quality of my next post with the quality of yours.

So it goes.

Dirt and grime in the lower bearing race of the headset.

Have I called you an Idiot yet today Gomer? Of course, without your invaluable contributions, none of my threads could ever survive.

I just did a good 32 mile training ride. I feel like it was my first really hard, extended, training ride. A few times I felt like I was going to throw up, it was good. Everything just went right.

I think I must be getting somewhere - I had someone latch on without asking. I kept waving to him to get off, and he wouldn't. So I dropped the hammer. I lost him for a bit, but he came back.

If you're reading this, you were in blue/white, and I was wearing a Salsa jersey (red) on a blue Giant. Don't do it again.

Sooner or later I'll be right. You'll see.

Meanwhile, if you want to see real idiocy, flip over to P&R.

:lol:

I was really going at about 26 mph during the last 3 mile stretch. I looked back and this guy was about 3-6 inches off my wheel.

Oh stop.

We need more homage to the Scott Addict, the wonderful bicycle that this thread was named for.

Those Cervelos are nice, but they're no Scott.

How tall (or short) are you mm?

Wait. Better idea. You tell us your frame size and stem length, and we'll guess.

patentcad 04-12-10 05:46 PM

Pcadette's iPad is here. It totally, utterly ROCKS. The external keypad dock accessory makes it much more versatile, transforming it from a hand held pad into a pseudo laptop (with a touchscreen interface) whenever you want it.

But it's no Scott.

I wish my nipples were red.





Silver sucks.

You're gonna have fun with this:

48cm, 70mm

Yeah, I'm short :P

My participation in this thread is driven by a desire to pay homage to the inanity of BikeForums.

5'2"?

A 7cm stem? I really didn't know they made 70mm stems.

I'd like to see pics of that bicycle.
