Oh, and the rack is trashed but it's just as well cause I refuse to ever use a roof rack ever again. Just needed to vent a little as the fiance and daughter cannot understand my torment.


Replacing bike parts (and possibly the entire 4 month old bike) because I'm an idiot........priceless.:o

I'm paranoid that I would do this, which is why I never seriously considered getting a roof rack.

just hide the garage remote in your bike bag that is prolly in the trunk, that way there will be no accidents unless the wife leave the garage open for you:p

that's a great idea Jeff!!!

Turtle1 06-21-07 11:06 AM

That is an excellent idea. Well, it's gonna be a trunk rack or hitch mount for me from now on. I just can't trust myself anymore:o

The car that has the roofrack has an integrated garage door opener. Of course our solution is just to have too much stuff in the garage so that we can't park in there!

Wow, that's a score! I've seen pics of the Saris rack and it looks cool too. I've got a trunk rack in the garage so I'll probably be using that for a while.

I manage to fit both cars and 4 bikes in our tiny two car garage, I still marvel at the accomplishment:D

Wow! Your garage and my apartment look about the same. Which reminds me. I have pics of my apartment that I never posted. I decided that would be too embarrassing, even for me. :o

Jaggad Edge jersey. Has a nice deep cut in back so the pockets are easy to get to.

I would never be able to live in the city of San Marino (adjacent Alhambra/Pasadena). They have strict ordinances prohibiting using your garage space for other than parking your vehicles. :p

Turtle1 06-21-07 04:49 PM

I heard a nasty rumor about San Marino....homeowners can't mow their own lawns?:eek:


Oh yeah, today I ordered a Ritchey WCS carbon stem, ITM handlebar, and a veloce shifter. ooh, and some white fizik bar tape:D

Of course they can. They'd never concieve of doing so, but technically, they can.

I picked up this Terry 45cm 8 speed Campy Ergo for one of my business clients. (thanks Craigslist) She is a cancer survivor and wants to get onto a road bike and drop some of the weight she has gained from the inactivity.

This bike is in really really good shape, with some minor garage rash. Original tires too. The Ergo shifts beautifully. I really just cleaned it up and tightened up the rear spokes and trued the rear wheel. Needs a new seat, some new Ergo brake hoods and the fork needs to be spread slightly. The front wheel doesn't go on easily. There is so little wear, its too bad it just sat around.

Its going to be good for her.
