Damn it, those flies had cousins.

I am too. But, I would worry that owning a Ti bike would make me FEEL old as well.

Carry on.

What if you got a Ti bent?

Whoa.


If I had one of those, would I need a walker to get to it?

My business partner is about to pull the trigger on a Litespeed Archon. After listening to his incessant chatter the last few weeks, he has somehow decided that this is the best carbon bike for under $3K.

Any suggestions for complete carbon bikes under $3K?

Start a new thread. I'm not sure that we've had one on that topic today.

I told him he should use BF as a resource on the Litespeed. Then I see his thread. Certainly not the most articulate or innovative question ever, but I wasn't consulted. He got flamed, in typical BF fashion.

You mean he got elitified.

The next time I tell you to go eff yourself, don't do this.

oh dear, oh dear.

Time to buy him out and go solo. Will he sell you his interest in the business for a race bike?

Yeah, he will soon be useless to the company, posting all day about how many miles he rides on it.

Maybe it would have helped to include more than "I'm competitive" as a clue as to what he is looking for.

Agreed. He got defensive when I told him his thread deserved a good BF Flaming.

Strange to write this as he talks to his wife in my office.

If I'm reading the same thread, some people can't help but prove a point.

I wouldn't have started this company if I had to do it solo. I like the team concept.

He's a marathoner. Hopes to qualify for Boston this year. Why people do that to their bodies, I don't understand.

Poor kitty.

Teams suck. Particularly the Mets.

Sell him your S2.

Or not. I'd be a little jealous.

The productivity at the office is about to go to hell.

Both Alberto and Andy are very likable kids, I don't think Alberto has a bad bone in his body, ditto for Andy. Somewhat refreshing after TdF champs like Lance who were more barracuda-like.

I really don't know who to root for. I like Andy. And I've come to admire Alberto's demeanor and personality. He really put up with a lot of crap from Lance and Johann last year. I wouldn't have been as nice about it as he was. Please note that he is smart enough now to only say glowing and nice things about Lance in the media. He's not so dumb.

The fact that Alberto and Andy get along so well is refreshing for such fierce on the bike rivals. Makes the sport warmer and fuzzier. It sure could use some of that.

my favorite comment from pcad's article is "she came and she went"

i havent followed it but why is lance such a non story this year?

i remember last year BFers were ging on about how contador will be smacked down without a team and how he shot hmself in the foot by being such an arse to king lance. he'll regret it. you'll see. you'll all see.

I don't think they treated him too badly in that thread. I've seen worse.
