Bike Forums - Addiction I

Whenever you think cycling can't get any stupider, it always does.

And I'd say Pope of BF is more accurate than King of Freds, but what other people think of me is none of my business.

if you insist, i'll stop. i heard another member call you that & just appropriated the use of that moniker. someone need to think of something more clever

If I were really the Pope of BF I'd have you all beheaded next week. And key culprits in the 33 would be drawn and quartered. But it wouldn't be so bad with the shaved legs.

Give the frame a good look-over, plus some stress testing, just in case.

You should see me next to my friend Sergei (who is the guy in the red/black/white kit in the 3rd picture). He is a Cat-3 in drag (Cat-5 since it is his first season racing) and I can't keep up with him most of the time.

We'd like to see him but if he's skinnier than you he'd be transparent. Too fat for this sport....? I think you get a pass. eata cookie. heal well.
