Is it just me or has bikeforums just got really, really boring all of a sudden?

Anyway, because I'm bored and it's Friday and I'm an idiot, here's a sneak-peek at what's in the pipeline. Yes, it's carbon fiber, yes it's full custom, yes, the average weight is about 1050g. Due for major launch in July-ish.

Maybe.

Yes....stoopid questions that could be answered with a 30 second search in numerous threads.

Maybe when the season gets firing the Road Racing section will get a bit interesting, but if you only come here infrequently, you would leave with the impression there is only one professional cyclist in the world.


BTW, that frame looks horn.

You can only read "my top speed/bike/climbing ability is better than your top speed/bike/climbing ability" and "I'm a newbie, which bike should I buy?" so many times before your brain turns to mush. I've posted a couple of 'out there' threads that would make for an interesting discussion over a few beers on a Friday night, but they must've been to far outside mainstream, because hardly any replies were posted. Everyone is safe and warm in the tiny little niche of knowledge that they have. Seems they're not willing to step outside that domain for fear of ridicule in a public (albeit faceless) arena.

Should be a nice frame. But you skipped a step in the evolutionary path of the bicycle: Aluminium :p

"Should I buy a carbon seatpost?"
"Which of these bikes is better?"
"My knee is sore, what should I do?"
"How much faster will I ride squatting 300lbs?"
"How fast is a cat 5 bike race?"

The dropouts are Aluminium, does that count? :D

An excellent compromise :lol:

this was just posted on the "'phil ligit and paul sherwin (sometimes bob roll)" thread:

I'll be playing during the live TDF coverage on SBS this year :)

that's gold!

BINGO!

Great find Munchie!

Oh, And my car survived at the airport unscathed, unlike most of Gosford I see! :D

Good news. So you'll be up for some intervals tonite then?

Hmm, where's an op when you need one to ban the bot

What's BOThering you PB?

Hey dudes ("dudes"? yeah, "dudes"), I need a 1 inch carbon fork
for under $250 or $300 for my 'rainy day', aluminium bike. Good quality 1 inch forks
are becoming very hard to get.

Any suggestions?

I can get a few 'generic' types with alu steerers for about $200, but I wouldn't mind something better.

Terry Hammond has something called a "Roselli" for $250 -- what the hell are THEY?

Yep.....don't ride in the rain.

I don't really ride in the rain, but I do ride on days like today when there's a chance of rain, and still a few puddles around.

Jetlagged and caught avian flu (cold)... :(

Are you out on Sunday? Time trial or Crit?

clouds? Puddles? those are red flags.

The post has been deleted while you were asleep but a bot was posting all over the forum.

On a different tangent, never *ever* have a piss after handling raw chillies without washing your hands thoroughly.

From fixed forum:
"I'm getting a custom bike built by Thylacine and as part
of the process I went & got fitted at a Serotta dealer."

You get around, this post is from Chicago. Steel MUST be real :)

Neither, I'm gonna catch up with a few geriatrics that I haven't seen since early November. Loop of the Lake starting at St Huberts Island.

Ah the (painful) memories. I've done that on more than one occaision. Makes accidental application of deep heat seem like cold cream in comparison :(

Heat cream on the sack is never a pleasant experience.

Almost as unpleasant as changing contact lenses after the aforementioned chillies :D

Or massage you girlfriends genetalia. :eek: yes, it happened.

Magnificent!

This thread is turning into one of the American Pie movies.
