You should calm down, it was just casual bike chat in the garage of a friend on a friday. No laboratory equipment involved.
I was just giving my opinion which you can either take or not considering I'm not forcing it upon anybody.

Sometimes I really understand / it's painfully clear what drove the creation of Tarck (not that I know anything about this latest incident).

chula vista circuit race cat3: sat up over the final roller, coasted in near the back of the pack.
I came, I raced, I didn't get dropped! Now it's time to get back in the game and be a little more aggressive. I always regret sitting up during the finale, even when my goal (like today) was just to race and not necessarily go for the win. I could have - considering it was not a challenging race.
We would hammer pretty hard for 30-60s at each of the two turnarounds, and then most laps were a tea-party in between. Still, glad that I raced.

Rode some dirt today on a power line service road.
And then I saw The Lone Wolf hanging out at the bottom of the canyon, chillin.
He now rides a fat bike instead of the famous rinestone coated Lotus TT bike.
Pretty cool meeting him, I have seen him cruising around since I was a little kid.

I called my dad to see if he still had a bunch of old Dia Compe/Weinmann/Schwinn 610's in his pile o'parts. He does. I am super-stoked to start gathering parts/tires to make my Steamroller more gravel/cross capable.
