Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I moved the file manually and so far it seems to be working.

This thread now has 217 pages, but doesn't quite match the stupidity of the 217 forum. Time to step up your game pcad.

What's your Addict got that your S2 doesn't? Last time I was here, you were the S2 poster child.

Excel has some 2009 S2 closeouts that I've had my eye on.

Aero only matters when you are fast. At 10mph, it's a struggle to push that heavy S2 frame, which is why one would need the Addict.

That's basically all it said. Runtime error (Had C++ Visual in the top of the box).

Then, to add insult to injury, I had to call in to register and got transferred to India or who knows where and answer several questions and then the woman wanted to change services. Yeah, just to register the dumb thing.

Intuit.

Tell me about it. I sold luxury cars for 8 years. Couldn't take it anymore, by 1991 I was fried.

I really like that Mazda 3 five door model. Cool looking car. Fuel economy isn't high enough for a car that small though. They're giving those sleds away right now. It was on my short list for a while. We need a car by September.

Intuit sounds like some drunken tribe of Eskimos in some unbelievably low-rent trailer trash God forsaken remote Alaska village that even S. Palin forgot. On the other hand they can see Russia from the local tavern, so they're all potential Palin for President Foreign Policy Advisors.

You weenies underestimate Pcad's Bullshlit Power at your own Fred Peril.

So what's the verdict? I got through the first ten pages, which was a tad painful. I try to make BF a seasonal habit and the 217 page pcad thread peaked my curiousity.

Looks like you stayed with the KWings. Why?

I love the bike now. Hell, I haven't ridden the Cervelo in months. I like the K-wings. What's your problem with K-wings? The next thing is you'll tell me is that Red pwns Dura Achee

I have no problem with the Kwings. I have them. The grass is always greener.

Did you consider a Look?

More importantly, what's the S2 missing that you prefer on the Addict? The stiffness?

I seem to recall you chose the S2 because you thought the S3 would be mushy. It would think the S2 was plenty stiff.
