Another..

My saddle color and bar tape color don't match, and it doesn't bother me at all.

rofl!

I earn all the money, but my wife tells me how much I can spend.

BTW, this is a good thing.

I know the names of all of the Bravermans. :o

What a first post.... I foresee proud fredliness in my future.
What's bigger than a Clydesdale? .....I'm a former Clydesdale roadie - 25 years ago in college I was 6'3", 215 pounds and 7% body fat.... rode 200 - 300 miles a week AND played hockey.... then life happened - Married, Job, Kids, Responsibility... you know the story. I stopped riding and put on 70 pounds! Now, I plan to dust off (it literally has 1/4" of dust on it) the old bike and ride again. I'm debating whether to upgrade or ride as is (early 90's Dura-Ace, non-indexed down tube shifter, original black Look pedals, Canondale 3.1? frame, Cinelli bar and stem)..... I like some of the new technology but refuse to pay the ransom for it when my antique works just fine...Too bad my old RoadGear "beer cooler" lid died a long time ago. Maybe I'll pull out the old Bell V-1pro lid just to mess with folks.... !

Does this make me an Elephantine Fred?

I've known the significance of the yellow jersey for almost 4 decades and I will STILL WEAR a plain bright yellow Jersey so the yahoo's in the pickups can see me.... Hard to miss seeing someone wearing a yellow jersey with a 50" chest!

I confess I do not know who the Bravermans are, but do know that there is reference to two Bravermans in Friends. Joey has a line in his soap opera about a Dr. Braverman, and Mrs. Braverman's apartment is where Chandler and Rachel steal the cheescake.

I also confess I know way too many lines from Friends.

^^^ NBCs Parenthood. I rarely watch TV and this is the first time in years (decade?) that I actually know the names of the characters. Friends may actually be the last show about which I can make that claim.

I turned around early at a century this past Saturday so I could avoid some of the climbs. It's the third year in a row I've done that at this ride.

On Sunday a bird pooped on my saddle while I was at a break and I didn't wipe it off. Some of it is still there and some ended up on my shorts.

Even though Chain Love hasn't had anything worth buying in ages I keep checking.... just in case.

I found myself considering walking behind someone rather than beside.

wut?

For the drafting, of course.

After one group ride, when we stopped at a gas station, I walked directly behind the guy I had been drafting for about an hour. It was pretty weird.

On a couple of occasions I have built a bike around a single component on which I got a great deal. The bike gets ridden for a few months, then sold.

I don't know why I do this.

ummm... I swapped my platform pedals onto my road bike last Saturday night for a casual group ride where I didn't want to fool with cycling shoes. Actually worked and felt pretty nice with some skater-style shoes. But I was also wearing a new pair of jeans, which left some blue markings on my white saddle. :notamused:

Oh well, all the more reason to get a black saddle, yes? :D

The ups guy that serviced a store i used to work at shaved his legs. Nobody said anything to him, but some of the ladies talked about it after he left almost daily. Didn't even faze them when I let them know he raced bikes. I always thought they were bitties for talking about him.

I'm sure I've heard it before, but I don't think I could identify dubstep versus any other kind of dance music if I heard it played.

Maybe you like building bikes?

This thread is for confessions, not tattle-tales ;)

I want to build up a fixed gear bike.

And I may have just found a frame to do so...

Before your black saddle purchase is made you may be able to salvage the white one with a Mr. Clean magic eraser.

I was confessing that I thought all those bitties were/are bitties. The rest was just background info.

No.
Get white jeans.

As a result of my commuter being a fixed gear bike, I ride my fixed gear more often than my roadie. But I make it up to the carbon mistress by having her in between my legs for quadruple or more the commuting mileage combined on weekends. Oh yeah this must imply that I love fixed gears. Which I do happen to own a couple of because track = fixed gear = sw33t fixie.

Just do it.

I do like building bikes, but I do not like the expense, yet I still do it.

This whole thread is a desperate cry for therapy.

I'm in a work meeting right now.

This is your boss. Pay attention.
