I hate you.

Hahaha climbing as 5'11 190lbs is the suck. Although I'm down to 185 now. Funny how those rest days and zone 2 days work.

With my body type and build, I don't think I could squeeze much below 170 without being skeletal and in deep poop with the wife.

I hit 165 almost 3 years ago for my first marathon (poor eating, plus huge base miles) and wasn't able to maintain any muscle mass. My wife threatened to have me hospitalized if I didn't put some weight back on. Other than my love for quality beer, my vegetarian diet combined with running, tri training for 6 months out of the year and riding habits keep me at least safe.

I can relate Santaria. I'm 5'11" and sometimes I get as low as 153 if I'm riding hard. That's when I take an easy week and go into fatty mode eating lots of goodies.

Today I saw this cool bike :

not too bad looking.. Looks to be a newer model. Not too familiar with Merckx road bikes.

I'm trying to ID the bike. I can't seem to figure out what model of their lineup came with that style of fork? Maybe it's aftermarket? All of them seem to have some sort of crown on them.

I was shocked to see one that looks so nice with modern parts, like that threadless headset and ksyriums.

I still lust after these :

and pretty much every other merckx road or track... I love the pink / dark blue ones... Merckx mondays on prolly's site usually gets my blood running...

This is why Miguel Indurain is my hero

craigcraigcraig 05-02-12 08:12 PM

you guys would tell me to eat a sandwich. one of my good buddies is over 200 lbs and climbs like a gazelle, there is hope.

xavier853 05-02-12 08:19 PM

Taught my friend, who is just getting into cycling, how to change a tire and tube.

RGNY 05-02-12 08:19 PM

must bike more. 6' #200. of course i put on muscle (and chub) real easy. former #275 powerlifter. current goal is 195, then 185.

also considering a roadie. debating between vintage-ish and new. will depend on how much i have to tool up. have the desire to snag a late 70's / early 80's Raleigh to relive my youth, but the market around here is dead. will have to wait until yard sale season kicks off and begin the hunt...

Dannihilator 05-02-12 08:28 PM

I don't think about the climb when I'm climbing.

Muffin Man 05-02-12 09:24 PM

I washed my bike. I love a clean cassette and chain.

jimmytango 05-02-12 10:08 PM

I'm 6'3", 226lbs. You guys make me feel huge.

Nagrom_ 05-02-12 10:46 PM

Heeeeeeeeey guuuuuuurrrrrrl, A/S/L???

6'0" 180lbs. Tryna slim to 170. Former clyde, not the power lifting kind, hahaha. This current slim down is from ~185lbs.

NateRod 05-02-12 10:48 PM

I'm fatter than all of you

Sixty Fiver 05-02-12 10:49 PM

... bought new shelving for my shop to try and create some order from what was chaos.

Half a dozen people stopped to comment on the rig... one guy said he felt bad for driving his car and should have ridden his bike.
