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

The review thread
Thanks!

I was familiar with the review thread, but I wanted a BF Approved Thread for
the items that are loved by BF users (whether that love is warranted or not).
I guess a good description of this thread would be the "placebo effect".

I just scored one of these, brand new, for $139. This is the lowest price I've seen. Niagra Cycle had them on sale via Amazon for $153 a couple of weeks ago, but this is a better deal.

This is a good deal. Youmight want to check to make sure it's an authorized dealer so you get the 30 return window if you don't like it.

This thread demands a BF Unapproved Thread. All newcomers to the forum would immediately be forewarned about the dos and donts of picture etiquette, questions that anger botto, how to make Pcad-like threads, and contribute meaningless dribble to feed the masses.

Oh yes, we cannot forget the obligatory Cult of Caad.

Can I put this thread in that thread or would it cause a tear in the space/timewasting continuum of BF?

Don't know if it's in here or not but the Nashbar L'Orange floor pump is pretty good. Have had it long enough now to feel safe in recommending it.

Been using them for six months now. Decent burn time and pretty quick USB recharge time.

I've had a pair of Ultra bibs for the last 4 years. I like them, but prefer only to wear them on rides of less than 40-ish miles.

K-Edge Chain Catcher. I wish I had put one on my Roubaix Expert when I first got it, it would have saved a lot of scars. They aint cheap but worth it to me.

+1 on this. It is a good pump for the money.
