Can solo resist this clear invitation to a weenie measuring contest?

In my cycling perusals this weekend, discovered the following:

Ridley Excalibur frame, in my size and multiple colors to chose: $799 including shipping

Surly Pacer frame, in my size, blue only: $485 including shipping

Both items new, from reputable sources. It seems like the price difference should be larger.

I'll be getting a dashboard genie once I get my cables changed.

More help to bring back the old Solo whom we all love to heckle.

Let's all give him a push!

boy, that is a ww product that I would actually consider. And the carbon pads are compatible with Rob's wheels? (I don't see why not--it sure will be nice not to have those yellow streaks on my brake track)

Godwin alert.

I used to consume more aspartame. Am I in trouble?

The wife of one of the men she had an affair with forwarded to me copies of emails that my ex and her husband had exchanged... including several explicit nude photos of my wife. Right before our divorce hearing I handed one copy to my ex, and showed her a stamped envelope addressed to her parents that contained a second copy. I advised that unless she wanted her parents to know EXACTLY why we were divorcing, she should never contact me in any way ever again. I haven't seen her since the judged banged the gavel. :thumb:

Well done.

I think the root of SA's mental vagueness is all that Chipotle he's been eating. Probably some unsavory chemical mind control agents in there.

That would explain a lot.

Crap. I guess I'd better change my lunch plans.

I don't see why those pads wouldn't work either, RUOkie. I also went with the CF valve stem silencers. I have heat shrink wrapped around my valve stems, but they still rattle.

I watched half the video. If you break it down fact by fact, it raises some interesting issues. But it loses me when it trys to portray the lot of them as some grand plot.

I actually do the forbidden thing of screwing the washer back on when I have threaded tubes. When I buy tubes without them, they are SO loud. Methinks I will be buying some BDop stuff in the next few months.

I can honestly say that I have never screwed a washer on anything.

I am just not sure I that is what I even want out of life. Definitely not anytime soon. I am way too effed up right now. I need to find myself again.

Best get with the program jr. This isn't a dress rehersal....:saweeet:
