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

Park ave in Henry isn't so bad, one in Pitts sucks ass. Elitist *******s, if you ask me. 33 would love them. They've got like 3 now. One near eastview is kind of hidden, seemed nice there. You are near Berts, or what ever it is, lots of bikes, hard to get help any time I've been there. That small one out near the dome is friendly.

I'd probably kill myself and crash your bike too.

We're on pace to add 1,000 posts to this thread in four days.

Dialing up the posting just like I've been dialing up the mileage.

Well, actually, aren't you supposed to crash the bike first, then die?

Minor details. You're putting too much thought into this, you see?

It is very possible that the bike will spontaneously explode, and cause you to die, even if the rider is doing everything right. It makes ticking sounds that concern me a bit.

You did say it is a carbon framed MTB, so spontaneous explosion is a possibility.

What's this "we" crap. You're like the guy that doesn't take a pull the whole ride then sprints at the end.

It's not. This is literally the third time you have suggested that.

I'm not so sure I would want a CF MB. Then again, a kamikaze run down a hill on any bike doesn't sound like much fun to me.

The frame was free. It's not cracked, but it does click. I believe it's dirt in the pivots for the swing arm, but I'm not positive.

I haven't had it outside in a month or so. I've been thinking about getting a decent fork for it and actually using it. I just need to make it stop clicking first, or find the crack.

The postcount statistics say otherwise.

This bike is very cool and ugly at the same time. I'm confused.

What does that Y-Foil have in the water bottle cage? It kind of looks like a jar of pickles.

There's a command you can add at the end of thread URL and it will list how many times each person has posted in the thread.

I don't remember what it is, though. And good luck trying to find that via search.

Na, you just click on replies on the threads list. You have me beat, but not in the last few days I bet.
