Weird. Then why did they let me create an account if it's not good for anything?

Unfortunately, I don't think any of my local bike shops deal with EAI.

Price check on aisle 3!

Today I:
 

160-ish

Have a good day

Lower.

Today I:
 

Or am I confusing it with something else I was looking at. I have been browsing it constantly because the shop is going to put an order soon

OW. The bike was only $400. Might stick it out with STI.

I forget how heavy the NOS tax is sometimes.

Performance doesn't have an EAI account. That means all of my EAI orders will he coming from Scrod.

Today I wiped down my bike. Damn, that thing was dirty. In doing so I realized how jacked up the paint is on my frame. Not sure if it's just a not-very-durable paint job or the yellow color makes chips more obvious, but my frame is a wreck. :( My 3-year-old commuter looks in much better shape and I ride that thing in the winter and it has way more miles on it.

Last Night I: Track race for the first time.

Today I: Road biek for 3.5 hrs w a solid hammerfest in the middle. I thought I would be more beat up after tarck racing and a couple beers, but I found some legs and towed around the Swamis "B" group for a couple hours. Guess I shouldve joined my homies on the A today

NO!! Pikachu can't be damaged! But seriously, the paint on cheaper bikes like our fixed gears isn't that great. My Lager is pretty ****ed up in that department, too.

How was the race? I plan on going out somewhat soon, since I work right by a velodrome.

Today I am going do to a lot of stretching & myofascia release (foam rolling) to get ready for my first 75-100 mile fixed gear ride tomorrow. the most I've done previously was 40 miles.

I also ordered this - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...A2D3QT4PZ4HTUD
I think it will be fun to ride around with in the winter.

A little history: Made in Mexico by an ex-Cinelli framebuilder - when Windsor was owned by Acer-Mex Corporation (hence the Italian/Spanish spelling of Profesional) - and often referred to as "the poor man's Cinelli". Tubes are Columbus SL, dropouts are Campy and the BB is Italian-threaded.

Not entirely certain about the year but the seller thinks it's a 1973, which is kinda cool because that's when I was born.

So ****ing jelly.

I wish it was still the original molteni orange w/ chrome lugs but I'm still pretty stoked about the wheat gold re-finish.

I like that the guy did the lug lining sparingly.

I had no idea bikesdirect has those for sale! :eek:


Good catch scrod! :thumb:

yeah. is the professional better than the hour? ;)

The 'Profesional' frames were actually made to commemorate Merckx's 1972 Hour record in Mexico City, thus making it an OG Windsor 'The Hour'. :lol:

Such a sweet frame. I noticed all your bikes are fixed with no brakes. Are you going to build this one up the same?

it was a blast.

(mine is at the bottom)

Considering it's not drilled for brakes, yes.

Although the original hour record bike used by Merckx was a Colnago -- re-badged at the last minute as a "Windsor" to reflect Mexican pride apparently, and infuriating Ernesto Colnago.

Wow, that thing is clean!

Today I raised my stem by 20mm, and it made all the difference in the world in my ride comfort. I know the "cool" thing to do is to have a slammed stem, but until I get in better shape and stretch my back out some this will have to do.

Got a ****ing mosquito bite right in the center of my forehead.

What's "cool" is having a bike that fits.
