Regardless, all of you will covet the Foil and rue the day my purchase of this sled motivated me to come back over there and clog the airwaves again.

waste not want not

I just had to share:

Q. What is a terminal illness?
A. When you are sick at the airport.


Q. What does the word 'benign' mean?
A. Benign is what you will be after you be eight.

This time of year if I'm north I'm doing a recovery ride, or openers. Neither of which I need power for. It is nice to have climbing Whiteface though. As it's really easy to blow up on that. But I could, as others have pointed out, set it up for power and then just slap my SRM on there when needed. Might be the best option. Worst case I could always get another season out of my race frame and just upgrade the components. Get some Di2 brifters and such.

Your typical NY subway ride.

But cute! Anyway, about 50 minutes later I got:

So, consensus? Good?

I think there might have been, but I went to the opera instead.

Actually, I'm worried she won't like me, no one else will like me, and I'll go through life alone and unlaid.

I dated one girl for five years and didn't get married or have to pay to get rid of her.

Fixing my post count, since I accidentally multiquoted.

Hard to say either way.

well done

I would say that the text back was a good text. She used exclamation points.

That is just plain sexy. A man could fall in love- what make and model, i can't quite make it out.

Clearly not you.

Who is marathon girl??

iJen was a marathon girl...but she was only half the woman I thought she was...

Appropriate joke insert here....
Question- Why do they name hurricanes after women.
Answer- Because they arrive all wet and wild and when they leave they take your house and car.

She's the girl I went out with last night. Cute, 24, runs distance, used to do some cycling but got spooked after her last crash. Did one tri, hated the swimming. So, marathon girl.

I see a wedding in the future.

Nice. I hope it works out.

My wife doesn't even know HOW to ride a 2 wheel bicycle. But she is a good egg otherwise, so I am keeping her, or better said she is keeping me.

p.s. Don't tell marathon girl surgeonstone's joke. Or she will likely run AWAY from you.

I already covet the Foil. I've been wanting one. Not in the cards, at the moment - cheap Nashbar frame is next, then a BD Ti, I think.

Oh, and I just had my first trainer ride with 5700. The derailleur springs are stronger (front and rear). Shift levers are crazy long throw though. And I went to upshift the front and let the brake lever return before the shift lever and it dropped back to the small ring immediately. Will take some getting used to, but the quicker shifts are nice.

Thankfully I'm not THAT clueless.

Which nashbar frame are you looking at?? I got the all-aluminum road frame for some ridiculous price like $60...it's actually a pretty good frame.

That's good.

Next test: are you aware that the qualities that make for a good GF don't necessarily make for a good spouse and/or parent??

I disagree, sort out the humorless from the humored real quick.

A Train Cycles, a builder that's local to me. Saw one of his non-lugged frames at an LBS - purty.
