Went in to Performance intending just to try on the Atmos and see if it fit well.

Walked out with this - the only one they had in the store -

It's the Giro Atmos Lone Star 7 - commemorating Lance's 7 wins. It's a sweet flat black with the lone white star and blue flames.


I like that.

Not that I know off. A shop I stopped by (who doesn't stock Bonty parts) said she's had one or two issues in three years of selling Treks.

Do you like the adjustment clamp thingy?

Dont know that I really like it. It looks bulky, but it works. Besides I dont really know any differant since Im pretty much a newbie. I know more of mt biking stuff and have always used Thompsen, but the Bonty seems to work just fine, and it looks good.:D

I just need it to match my seat collar.

Last thing I bought was... a dura ace brake and also bought some CB candy pedals for my MTB. Nothing exciting... but I love the Candy pedals.

What's wrong with me? It's not even compact. At least I can return it when I wisen up.

Your money would be much better spent on lunch for me.

I guess I could get you a .79-cent cheeseburger from McDonald's.

Took the Atmos Lone Star 7 back and got a Pneumo instead.

I suppose I could just keep this and not do any climbing rides.

I thought we were friends Voltaire. Here I am trying to help you out with your shopping addiction by diverting your attention to taking care of my nutritional needs and you're just not playing nice. See if I try to help you out again. :p

My apologies. That was rude of me.

Pizza? I'll see if I can get you a non-pimply delivery guy.

What are you doing?:eek: Take it back and get the compact. I rode mine yesterday and it is so awesome. Perfect gearing choices, and ya can stay in the big ring longer. What are ya a compulsive shopper?:D

You don't get it, do you? If you personally deliver lunch/dinner to me, then you are too occupied to shop. Calling for pizza isn't going to help you with your issues.

What if I show up and you decide you need to go to Surf City all of a sudden?

But I already have a compact?

Yes. But only for bicycle toys. And soccer jerseys.
