I hope that is a joke. Or else I'm unsigning up for the attleboro crit so I don't have to be seen at the same race as this trainwreck....

...:P

~Edit~ Thankfully, you were joking.

Heh. Yeah. I'm a bit of a bike snob.

I assembled a shipped bike at work today. A road bike. With 30 mm of spacers, then a stem riser. The handlebars were 4 inches above the seat.

See what psimet would quote you for xr300 rims w/ quality hubs.

Psimet built them last year for my wife - xr270 front, xr300 rear, CX Rays, black WI H2 hubs. 1492 grams.

Make certain to let pcad know that his latest bike is in....

Awesome. I'm still kicking myself for choosing K elites when everyone on bf told me not to.

mzeffex 06-21-10 09:04 PM

I'll probably build my own if I don't go for the Ksyriums.

Tulex 06-22-10 04:20 AM

Hey pCad, I rode this morning. No bugs, just a bunch of old people walkiing and jogging. Time for a nap.

At 1750 grams, no.

i bet gomer face has gone and got himself some new bar tape and that's as exciting as his announcement is going to get.

Some might be "grateful".

I know, I know, too easy.

No, but I need to. Yesterday I changed my cables--OK, ptle did as I watched--and it was pretty disgusting. Lots of salt caked inside from my sweatacular riding.

Forecast high is 96F today.
