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 : https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...97496826_n.jpg not too bad looking.. Looks to be a newer model. Not too familiar with Merckx road bikes. |

Love that Orange sherbert color. Very sexy bike.
I was shocked to see one that looks so nice with modern parts, like that threadless headset and ksyriums. I still lust after these : http://www.biketype.com/pics/5573/fu...kx_molteni.jpg 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... |

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.
|
Taught my friend, who is just getting into cycling, how to change a tire and tube.
|
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... |
I don't think about the climb when I'm climbing.
|
I washed my bike. I love a clean cassette and chain.
|
I'm 6'3", 226lbs. You guys make me feel huge.
|
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. |
I'm fatter than all of you
|
... 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. http://www.ravingbikefiend.com/bikep...hastahaul1.jpg |
