Fixed.

It's no Scott either.

This looks like it's about to really hurt.

I'm going to Eagle-Eyed Pcad for fitting the next time I'm in the area.

So THAT'S why I can't shift in to the small chainring - the FD cage is broken! Damn. Oh well, no obvious signs of my neglect/incompetence, so it should be under warranty....

that is so strange. I did that with my 2 road bikes and they are identical. I even tried measuring but that's quite difficult to be precise. I swear the distances are identical but on one i get lower back pain after 3 hours and the other I can ride 7+ with no pain.

and that's still a long shot for the top 10.

I should post less, ride more... I found myself on page 2.

heckler 06-15-10 05:10 PM

what business do you have?

patentcad 06-15-10 05:22 PM

Thinner.

patentcad 06-15-10 05:28 PM

See, now I rode 48 miles this AM, 29 miles just now (double session today, haven't done that in a while) and I have so many endorphins running through my bike weenie brain that even if coasting, Gomer and banerjek formed a Fred Critical Mass resulting in a violent Fredtonation, it wouldn't phase me.

patentcad 06-15-10 05:29 PM

And seeing how the whole racing thing was Utter Fail for 2010, I have decided that 12K miles is doable. Stupid Road Nazis. I'll show them. I have a couple of races left in me yet anyway.

If we formed a Fred-Train and blew by you it would.

Great photo! Did the HTC Columbia rider's front wheel just snap? Obviously this isn't the case, but the picture almost makes it look like the pavement melted, the wheel sank in, and then the pavement hardened again....

Forget it, it would never work. coasting would turn around at the sight of the first hill and BJ would want to stop every two miles to adjust his helmet mirrors.

Tonight I'm following this car down a long hill. There was marijuana smoke wafting out of the windows. I haven't had a toke in 20 years and it smelled good to me. I should ride the MTB more.

You smoked when you were 40?

heckler 06-15-10 07:06 PM

what is it like pcad? I have never smoked...and i started on a mtb

heckler 06-15-10 07:07 PM

PS I just joined a racing club...i was holding out for the Bauer invite, but had to take matters into my own hands as my mid pack cat 5 finishes apparently aren't impressing them.
