And that is why I will always suck

That'd be tragic for Baltimore and Ravens fans. However, I'm not at all worried that the Maras will move the Giants out of New York (Ok, East Rutherford. Work with me here.).

Damn do I hate running. I do it anyway because it is so convenient.

See, for me, running is freeing. On the bike, I'm always worried about crashing, or flatting, or a broken chain, or any nature of mechanical issue. Or descending too fast. Running is pure.

You worry too much.

About everything.

Now imagine what I was like before I was on Lexapro.

LAJ 02-10-13 06:00 PM

I seriously can't imagine. I'm glad it's making a difference for you.

I don't look at it when I'm riding it, and from the riding standpoint, it's the best bike out there. My Cervelo bicycles are the most impressive bikes I've ever ridden. That being said the Scott Addict doesn't suck.

And to be fair, were it not for my Scott Addict, you idiots wouldn't even have this thread to hang out in.

You would think that would earn me a little respect and gratitude.

You will, however, spend more time not riding it than riding it.

I'm thinking about upgrading to an S5 frame just to give you morons something to talk about. The bike gets nothing but the most rave reviews.

I heard you can get a good deal on an R5 with Di2...complete with race number.

Did you get fitted for the right shoes?? Inserts prn??

I did, and it has made a huge difference for me.

Except the first one certainly isn't free.

Nice. I prefer superbe pro. You need clips, straps, and slotted cleats to complete the picture.

My 11 year old is excited that Ed Sheeran is performing on the Grammys tonight. I don't even know who he is.

I am old.

I'd say "you have an 11-year-old, you're old", but there are people younger than me (30) with those.

LesterOfPuppets 02-10-13 06:24 PM

Never had Superbe Pro pedals but Superbe Pro cranks are really up there on my most-missed-components list.

Clips and straps are on hand. I'm just gonna wear running shoes on em though.

Mystery to me how some people can amble through life with no sense of priorities.

Yes, but still a kid compared to PCAD.

Rather talk about getting your perscription updated as your peep holes are failing you...

Fantastic bike. Looks better than the early paint schemes. Still, I do wish the head tube fairing had a curved back instead of flat. That's the part that bothers me most about that bike. I know it's the 3:1 rule, but that doesn't make it prettier.

That, and that looks suspiciously like the backside of an FSA crankset.
