BTW LC good work. You're not such a disgusting fat body any longer. Well done.

Concussion recovery has shed 2lbs off me as well. Lightest I've been in two years today.

Sounds like a good plan, assuming Columbus is a big enough market. I've never been there.

I might be dipping into the 140's soon. When I was that light before, climbing was a bit easier.

Perfect shifts, even under power. I have not had a chain drop since I changed the FD. Not to mention, it's several pounds lighter. Since you sold your tubies, your bike is what 16lbs now? haha, what a tank!




Well you never should of gotten heavy clinchers to start off. My 404s are the lightest wheels I own. I love to climb with them. I was 152lbs this morning. I've been eating like crazy trying to feed my brain repair process. I can't eat enough it seems. It sucks, all I've done all week is lay in bed, eat food, and watch the Giro and ATOC. I might try doing an easy spin on the trainer today. Right now, it's time for a nap.

Racing a light bike in non uci events is pretty much okay. Besides that, I've always been addicted to modifying things so building a sub 13lbs aero road bike was a challenge right up my alley.

That being said, I'm sure I could out climb 90%+ of the 41 Freds. We have a mile long climb on the Nyack Ride they hit pretty hard mid-ride , when I'm in good shape I can hang with the main group, we'll see how I do Sunday. It's really a climb for about .7 miles or so, the last half mile is a 3-4% grade but they are hammering and everybody is already gassed from the initial 1000 meters of the hill. The guys driving that train are mainly 2/3.

I agree a heavier bike is always going to result in more work period. The question is whether the additional weight associated Di2 is worth the improved performance.

PS I am faster than none of you, shall we now move on to who has the biggest dick?
