coasting 12-26-12 06:24 AM

so i went to the Giant dealer this afternoon with my latest convert to roadieism. We picked out a tcr composite with tiagra. i wanted to get the tcr advanced with 105 but that was over his price range. the composite frame is plenty good and eventually he can replace the tiagra over time. its the frame that matters and i've ridden tiagra and it is very good.


price came in at about USD1300.

So you're saying the sole function of Addiction is to be the garbage scow of the 41?

Does it have an alarm function? If so, probably speaker grill.

Nope, no alarm.

I was so excited to see $145 Benotto on the CL, but damn it's a MTB.... Tough not to buy it but I'm gonna have 10 MTBs & 1 tanklike roadbike before I know it and that's just silly.

One of my bikes rolls a Tiagra 4600 drivetrain and it rides beautifully. There is absolutely no point aside from concealed cables to go to 105 5700. The 12-30 Tiagra cassette rocks.

That would imply that whatever surrounds it is not garbage. I think you're using the wrong image

Yup. And no dump will take us, so we just float around.

They finally had free time and met for dinner. She took up two bar stools - my friend was flabagasted and asked why she posted that picture. Her reply "that was the best photo she ever took." The picture was probably 25 years old - she looked nothing like the photo. The fact that she lied was a turn off to him.

Case in point SA, why would you post an older picture of her? You are not allowed to ride your bike for 1 week.

Did you mention you had another crazy girlfriend??

Ok I'll answer this now. The two pics I posted of her were only 1.5yrs apart. Like your story about the dating site, the pink v neck dress pic is probably one of the best pics she's ever taken imo, and not just because of the goods on display. She pretty much looks the same other than her hair is longer, and darker. The Black Friday pic just didn't turn out very good because of the clothes we both were wearing, especially next to my sister who looked great, and was being paid to stand in front of a store to bring customers in. To be fair it isn't the boobs that attracted me either. They are a fairly recent addition. She gained a few pounds in grad school two years ago just before the v-neck pic, and all of it went to her boobs, and butt. She went from a B to a D.

Also I am riding my bike btw. It's all I have left. Although, we are under a blizzard warning for two days. So it will have to be in the basement it seems. I have had other crazy girlfriends, but I've only posted a pic of the current crazy one. It is definitely the same girl.

Anyway, PCAD that latest song is great! Very well done!

The bike, be it in the basement or on the road, is our collective security blanket. Use it early and often, Solo. 2013 will rock.

Yep I'm going to load my truck full of cinder blocks, and then do a Spinervals workout I think, then go to work.

Thanks Solo. When I release the CD (if there still are CDs at that point) you can load it into your skeet catapult and blast it out of the air with your assault rifle.

That's why I work alone. Cuts down on the ridicule.

From what I hear the dating sites have become main stream. A guy I know uses them and my daughters friends use them.

It's not crazy enough. We need a number like this for him. You kids probably don't remember this 60s classic.

Speaking of trash, I missed the trash pick up today. Our usual pick up day is Tuesday, but with Christmas it got bumped a day.


I realized this about 2 minutes before I saw the trash truck roll by the house. Oh well.

Wackos are not exclusive to online.

I tried online dating twice. The second date showed up in sweatpants and flip-flops. Now I'm a pretty casual guy but WTF?
