Why don't I have a yellow jersey? Who do I have to blow to get one around here?
They gave me that red star.
I miss the ads.

Kind of like a Surly Long-Haul Trucker on the cheap.

An RL-20 without 400 Flites? Blasphemy.
It's in better shape than my poor Lazer-Lite though. it spent a winter in a shed where we kept the pool chlorine, and all the chrome got chewed by chlorine fumes.
I should strip and rechrome that bike. We had some good times together.
I am disappoint in Murse. You can do better.

Since it is a TT, why don't you time others, or examine Strava data for the course, and split it up in segments, and keep track of your time at certain intervals. You know you could ride a bike before you had a Quarq right?

Also, just because you don't appreciate the value of a power meter doesn't mean I don't. I rely on my powermeter, that is why I bought them. If I wanted to ride like they did in the 50's I would ride one of your bikes.

I know I ride a lot harder on my Trek with my iPhone attached. Knowing how slow I am going makes me go harder, and having HR lets me know how much harder I can go. Having data is a great thing. I covet a powermeter quite a bit. However they are heavy, and just a Quarq spider for my crank, cost the same as your complete crank. For that reason those idiots can bite me.
