I think it's that the bike rears the uglier side of its stiffness on really rough chip and seal roads, and I don't ride too much on surfaces like that. It actually has some vertical compliance and road shock absorption. I think it's hard to make a really uncomfortable CF frame, and part of it is that I'm heavy enough @ 170 lbs or so to really compress any rear triangle with my body weight, and that's vertical compliance. The bike is harsher than some CF bikes, but I love the feel of the frame, the responsiveness and particularly the climbing characteristics. And I go back and forth between this and the Cervelo. The Cervelo is more comfortable, but I really do like the Scott now. Very happy with both bikes.

Not anymore.

Well, after 4 weeks off of the hfcs and thier ilk I am pleased to report I have lost 12 lbs. ( office scale) down to 241 I was at 255 just before I read that article and watched that vid in the other thread. I havent done anything extreem to my diet, a little more fuit and veg. Other than that just no more hfcs. awsome.

So L. Lohan got 90 days in the slammer and a further sentence to more rehab. Hey, maybe this will save her from a premature demise. But she'll probably figure out a way to party herself to death regardless.

I've heard this story before. It never ends well.

I gave up bagels.








And it worked.

Whatever works. How many bagels a day were you eating?


edit: fixed for pcad, and readability.

90 days at club med lock down isnt really punishment.

You can't even spell bagels.

Good for you - that's a pretty big change, IMO - it's everywhere.

In other news, the newly obtained powertap confirms that I have no stamina, but peak output is somewhere north of 1kw, so at least I got that going for me...

Sheesh, one dyslexic moment, forgive me your Highness. I have effected repairs to the offensive response

He is a NYer and you did misspell 'bagels'

Like I'd ever confess to my chronic bagel addiction.

I quit them cold turkey. I had the b.t.'s for a week.

I know. I deserved it. Its the lack of sugar in my blood streem, ever since I gave up the hfcs I have been issues with my focu........... hey look...... ooooooooohhhh shiiiiiineeeeyyyyy.

b.t.'s? bagel tremors?

Speaking of bagels, I had a lightly toasted everything with cream cheese, lox and a little onion this morning - always guaranteed to satisfy.

It is tough to find anything to drink, even fruit juices and ice tea is full of that crap. Diet coke . but I dont want to get into that, its got its own problems

eeeeuuuwwww. you lost me at lox.

Heathen.

That stuff is in everything. I stick with home-brewed iced tea - nothing but tea and water.

Correct.

His own face. Contador's face is very weird and I would like it to be mutilated.

1 bagel has the calories and carbs of 5 slices of bread.

I miss the original Zach. What have you done with him?

And what are you the friggin Carbo Police?

Contador does have a weird face and a fairly bland personality. I bet they love his skinny ass in Spain. He's probably some kind of friggin Big Sports Hero there too. Go figure.

MA is nice, except I have to keep my bike outside. This is upsetting.
