Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

New fork en route. At least the replacement was cheaper and with free shipping.

Upon completion, I am planning the full spread. Maybe even in the Hot or Not thread. Might even push me into a Flikr account, so I can project large scale grandeur.

Haven't looked recently, but my take from earlier is that if you want total control over how a website looks/operates, you'll likely pay for hosting.

It might depend on how fancy of a site you want.

It appears my Marketplace transaction has died. No communication from the seller, after we agreed on a price. Another person is inquiring. My whinging over $10 backfired.

Oh well. Gives me an excuse to go to the LBS and test the Romin Pro. First saddle was a Specialized and I had a free BG fit last year that recommended the 143mm Romin. I think.

I cut my own fork for the MTB. It was easy - used a pipe cutter. But, it was steel. I'd probably take a carbon fork to the LBS.

Be a little careful. My favorite saddle is a Romin Expert 143mm. Apparently, in the new Romin EVO, I should get a 155mm. I got this from the interweb, and from my LBS, which they apparently got from Specialized. Why measure my butt bones if the scale is arbitrary? My 143 is currently turned in for a potential warranty replacement, so I will ideally be able to confirm width discrepancies shortly.

Mrs. rjones28 uses Nework Solutions for hosting and does the design herself with a canned website template.

Good to know.

Ride a saddle at the LBS for 30 days and return it for a full refund or another one if it doesn't work out. One advantage of supporting the LBS over the old team pricing or internets.

In terms of weight gain, there are a whole lot of things worse for you than whole milk. Bread, for instance. Beer, for instance. Soda, for instance (diet or otherwise).

Yeah, I know - blasphemy.

Even better.

Kingfisher had an F1 team and an Airline.
The strong is good the regular is weak.
Im not supposed to be drinking beer because it makes me fat. So this is a rare review for me.
The wife is ok with red wine and the Indian brands are not to bad.
