Translation: the Big Climb that got Gomer gapped was a highway overpass.

Scott changed the spec on the Addict R2. Now it comes with a compact crank. They have Fredded it down.

Cervelo puts compact cranks on their TT bikes.

This just in: soccer is dumb.

Fixed for accuracy.

I just watched a video on the Scott website about their formidable women's pro team, including E. Stevens, the woman who dropped me on the finishing Hook Mtn. climb at the end of the Nyack Ride two years ago. Hey, if you're going to get dumped by a babe on a bicycle, at least try to make it a top world class pro.

I think it's quite arguable that Scott is getting more exposure for their product from this thread than that stupid woman's team. So where's my free clothing, bicycle and pricey aero wheels?

Watching sports on TV is dumb.


Except F1 and the major Tours, of course.;)

Fixed that for myself.

Even though watching the Mets on TV is dumb, I still do it. Daily. And I watch the Jets. And the Giants. And the bicycle races.

I am such a friggin typical American male couch slob. When I'm not riding my road bike 300 miles a week.

F1? I had such hopes for you.

Now . . . . . . . . . none.

does that mean that their target market is the fred market and you, pcad king road nazi, got confused?

i'm riding with an american road nazi on sunday. i can't wait.

Gotta learn to keep your expectations low. Fewer disappointments that way.

I think F1 and Pro-Cycling are compatible: Elite-level competition. Full of primadonnas. Obsessed fans. Most of the best races are in Europe. Americans largely don't care about either of them.

You riding with pcad?

i think he just demoted himself to fred with his super fred scott

I think he just showed that those two aren't mutually exclusive :D

I just signed up for the Cervelo test ride program at Excel next month. I'm going to get there early, grab the bike I want, and disappear for as long as permitted. And then head to Game 1 of the Cubs-Rockies series. Stupid effing Cubs.

Pcad: why the S2 over the S3? I seem to recall you had some fear about the mushiness of the S3. I don't like mushy and I don't particularly like the cost either.

I realize you are the leader of this nonsensical 7200 post thread. If possible, can you muster the required caloric expenditure to provide a coherent thought on this without the two pages of brain damage? That would be svelte of you.

I'm already anticipating the "sbxx is asking too many questions" response, so let's acknowledge it and move on.

And I listen to Ron Santo on WGN. I'm the dumbest of all.

Are you allowed to be a Jets fan and a Giants fan? I thought that was blasphemy over there in the armpit.

Are you going to ride on the right side of the road for once?

if he leads us that way, I'm dropping myself.

Good luck.

Cheaper.

I answer your question out of sheer pity for you as a friggin Cubs fan. God help you son.

Buzzcut.
