I'd be more tempted by the Cinelli Experience deal though.

You can do better Lester. Don't let Spring go to your head.

That is a screamin' deal on the Experience! I just don't know if I can ever bring myself to ride a sloping top tube road bike.

You're probably right. I'd be better off with a Torelli in that price range I think.

The frame has a couple of coats of paint now. Needs a couple more.

Looks very nice, I bet that blue will look good with all the mirror polish metal bits.

I can't get any straight answers from him. He's a student of the politician class.

I know how you feel, but if I'm going to go sloping top tube, I might as well go Cinelli.

I am painting it in the spot you see in the picture, so I'm not using spray paint.

Thanks. I hope to wrap it up this week. We'll see if my schedule allows it.

I'm getting tired of riding the country bike exclusively.

Blue and yellow are my old college colors, but I think it may get red accents to match the head tube badge.

To be fair, and this is just a completely objective view, but cycling is less interesting than Nascar. Definitely a step up from watching a marathon though.

Basically we are to take him at his word for everything he says he is and does. And if I know anything about the internet and people...

I think road cycling and Nascar are about on par when it comes to TV watchability. For me, Crits are more fun than Nascar to watch live. Standing out on a road course to watch 'em roll by once is pretty lame live sport entertainment, well below Nascar.

The World Track Championships were way better TV entertainment than Nascar could ever even dream of being, IMO.

DH, DS and 4X are way better too.
