No worries. I will definitely try to do a 100 by the end of the year, so if you're game we can set something up.

im a foodie, i naturally want to try different things :/

TMonk 09-05-13 04:40 PM

naw i feel ya. ive never put in a good ride on campy before.

i like the way sram feels (lever shape, shifting action) and the lightness so ive chosen it for my last few race bikes. all of my other bikes are shimano, which has tended to be much less problematic ime. not that sram is particularly crappy, but shimano is just rock solid

Mumonkan 09-05-13 04:45 PM

i would really love to take a testride on a bike with campy but finding one in a bike shop is next to impossible

I almost went with the waterproof phone, got GS4 instead. I have an almost whole box of ziploc sandwich bags, though.

Not here. There are a couple of Campy bikes I drool over across the river.

red on cross bike, di2 on road bikes.
best of both worlds!

Mumonkan 09-05-13 07:22 PM

today i put chip back together, all is well in the world. though i think i hate threaded headsets now.

in other news, the chainring on the 722 is total garbage, its warped laterally and radially now.
droppin chains like a bad habit. (cuz it is)

johnnytheboy 09-05-13 07:31 PM

today i just want to crawl under a rock and make it all go away. :(

I think used OG red is affordable to masses now.

Going to start making a serious effort to start playing again.

That's awesome. I played trumpet for 6 years growing up.

Today I did some sprint work at the track.

"Lactic acid is your friend" seems to be the chant of sprinters.
