CRUS up [STRIKE]4.5[/STRIKE] 5% :D

Even with generous reckoning, that's only about 1/2 of ONE share of AAPL

At wholesale it wouldn't even buy an apple core.

Kicking yourself for not selling AAPL and buying $FB, I see.

The nicest guy to ever coach WVU football just passed away. RIP Bill Stewart. :(

Patting myself on the back.

The market usually gets valuation right, it just doesn't always do it on your schedule.

You mean Taylor Phinney right? Davis Phinney is a senior citizen these days, and UCI could care less about his geriatric exploits. I did hear about that rule you speak of now that you mention it. I agree the UCI is completely idiotic.

I am truly feeling better today. I actually worked on my bikes for a change. I picked up a 2012 Red FD not long ago, and it added 11g to the S2. It shifts really quick, and precise however. Much better than the previous Red FD it replaced. Well that 11g inevitably got the bike back over 13lbs. So I've been contemplating an approach to address this issue. Since I was feeling better, I broke out the dremel on my Red RD, and did some minor tuning. I removed some aluminum making a huge window so you can see the Ti spring in there a bit better, and it also makes for better airflow in the smaller gears. I also removed the paint from the carbon cage section. I then applied a new coat of clear. It looks a lot better I think with the stupid Sram graphics gone. I'll see if I can't snap a pic installed on the bike here in a bit. It only saved me 3g, but it looks better as well, and I can always remove more material. I am confident I could take another 8g out without affecting the functionality. I only spent about an hour on it.

Facebook Shares Slump on Second Day Shares of Facebook were down 12 percent in midday trading on Monday, well below the company's offering price and again raising questions about its lofty valuation.

In its second day as a public company, Facebook was trading around $33 at noon. That extended the trading patterns from late on Friday, when shares repeatedly bumped against their $38 offering price.

On Friday, traders at the company's lead underwriter, Morgan Stanley, resorted to buying shares to prop up the price at $38, an important psychological barrier. To break the offering price would lead to what traders call a "busted I.P.O.," an embarrassing moment for the underwriters.

Right Taylor. Tall kid, the UCI's silly rules compel him to forgo Di2 even though I'm sure he'd prefer it, I'd confident that also applies in DZ's case, although DZ is a bit of a whack job like Solo, so you never know.

DZ is a whack job. I think that's why I like him. He's got to be the silliest individual in pro cycling today. As much as I hate to admit it. A P5 with hydraulic brakes, and electronic shifting would be rather awesome.

Don't know much about him, but I see he was only in his 50s. A shame.

Yes it is. He wasn't the best coach we ever had but I believe he cared more about the school and his players than any coach. From what I have seen he was a very good man.

My kinda Di2:

sounds good to me. if only I needed to buy and IGH. I do like the brifter option as well.

looks heavy

Obviously it is not there yet.

The company has some nice aspects to it, but people seriously thought it could sustain 100 p/e? It's revenue growth is already slowing. Where are they going to squeeze all the ads on mobile phones?

Yesterday I got up and felt like ****. Not sick, but run down and listless. Decided it was my body telling me it was time for a rest day (or two) after hammering hard for a a couple of weeks.

Running the record book function on SportTracks revealed that the last 30 km I did on Saturday was the fourth fastest 30 km I'd ever done. Normally not a big deal, except that the top 3 and most of the top 20 are all group rides.

Cool.

Incorrect. Derailleur systems are friggin antediluvian. The gear systems on our bicycles today date back a century. Time to move on already. I've convinced Shimano or somebody else can come up with a system similar to this new internal gearing rear hub intended for recreational bikes that would be lighter and far superior to what exists on high end racing bicycles today. Inevitable in my view.

The most important thing to note about this Solo response is that he does not dispute my characterization of him as a whack job.

I too would like to see such a thing, I am just not sure it is possible to have as close ratios, and as many gears, and still not be heavier. A local mountain bike rider once showed me his Rohloff hub geared mtb. I loved how all the gears were sealed from the elements in a maintenance free gear box. The only drawback he said was they were heavier than a conventional derailleur system, and more expensive.

I felt somewhat honored to be compared to DZ. Furthermore, I fail to see a shred a sanity in an individual that when faced with this choice chooses to add weight to their bike, and spend a good bit more money to do so.

Sram Red, 2125.6 grams

Shimano Dura Ace Di2, 2350.6 grams

Sram Red, $2550

Dura Ace DI2, $3900

Not only did you do it to one, bike, but you did it to two. Then there is the atrocious appearance of the boat anchor Shimano cranksets, that compound this idiocy of that decision.

I guess what I am saying is being called a whack job, by you. Doesn't really bother me a whole lot.

Work. On your grammar. Moron.

I'd say that it's more a matter of punctuation.
