I Can Believe It's Not Butter

What is the 41?

https://www.bikeforums.net/forumdisplay.php/41-Road-Cycling

Got met nowhere.

Let me put this in the proper context of this great thread.


I don't know what the 41 is.

I need to refer to urbandictionary.com to understand some of the posts on this forum.

When I was young (early 80's) I bought a chrome full-sloping crown fork from Nashbar for my Dawes Reynolds 531 frame. I put Reynolds 531 stickers on that fork. A mechanic at a long-since-gone LBS said to me "nice fork". I replied "thanks". (but it did look pretty nice).
Also put stickers on that frame that said "Reynolds 531 Double-Butted". Frame was 531, but not double-butted.

Always...

Lots of Treks, Specialized and Cervelos... Not too many Giants, and completely NO other BMCs.

Just me a U-Man.

It's this forum. The bold part of the URL I posted.

I didnt know what the 41 was until now...
Wifey mistakenly gave me womens bike shorts for a present and I occasionally wear them.

I look much faster than I am.

I am a terrible speller. Not just a bad one, a horrible one.

One of my most vivid memories from first grade was a time when I couldn't remember how to spell few. That's right, a three-letter word. It simply slipped my mind, which made for a rather embarrassing spelling test. I don't know how the teacher sat there with a straight face.

If it wasn't for the spell checker, I'd look extremely illiterate sometimes.

I like Rapha jerseys.

I hate some of the huge sigs on this forum.

I covet a wool jersey, but am too cheap to buy one.

I feel for you. My spelling is not the greatest, but i'm an even worse typist. I can't type to save my life. I never took typing classes and have to always correct every other word I type.
I usually have to leave 5 minutes after every final exam to run a spell check. Sadly, 5 minutes is usually not sufficient to get through the whole document.

Also, I have tremendous ADD, to the point that i'll start typing a sentence and get distracted halfway through and continue typing a totally unrelated sentence or the same idea but worded differently. This makes for very difficult to understand sentences.

oh well.. I guess no one is perfect.

I thought I was the only one.

Confession #1: I read page 1 and page 14 of this and skipped the 12 pages in between.

Confession #2: I have poor facial recognition skills. For a long time, I didn't realize this, and finally figured out that people vary in their ability to recognize and remember faces. If I'm around people enough, no problem. If I meet you once, and then see you a week later, I may recognize you right off, or you may not even look familiar to me. This can make for some embarrassing social situations and can make me feel really stupid at times. I was out riding this evening, was waiting for a group, and a lady rides by. Was that Brenda? I just can't tell. So after a bit, I take off and come up behind her. Hmm, doesn't look like her legs.. I pass her, speak to her, and I still can't tell from her face. She looked familiar, though. So either she's somebody I know wondering why I was rude, or she's a stranger wondering why I acted like I knew her.

I love Cannondlaes. GAWD I dreamed about them as a teen.....
And have since I was in my late teens to my early twenty's when I got out of cycling. I became fat and lazy during my 30's.

Now that that I am 24 years older and finally financially independent from years of hard work, I'm collecting all the Cannondlaes I can as if I were back in my yoot.

That's interesting. I think I'm at least average in remembering faces. Remembering names, however, is a different matter.

Sometimes when I'm riding alone, I pretend I'm pulling at the front of a group ride to try and ride faster.

I'm dreading my BF's recumbant purchase. I know I'll smoke him on our first ride and I'm afraid he'll be so discouraged he'll stop riding after two or three rides.
