I feel a need to represent...... Where do I get one? Do I have to do something to earn it? How much?

I believe that occasionally an order goes out for a bunch of them. You have to be tuned in to the forum when it does.

There were purchasing threads before; but I believe we haven't organized any new batch in quite a while.

You can ask around to see if anyone have extras in your size. The short sleeve jersey is around ~$50.

As for wearing BF jerseys, I normally only do it on BF rides to reduce wear and tear on it.

My Record Carbon broke today. Seeing how these guys spell Thomson properly, I had to go with it. If I can just change my first name to Bianchi I would have a personalized bike. Hmmm, I will have to ponder that.

Jim, I hope you've got enough setback with your Brooks when using that seatpost... I use their setback post.

For Tracie's first foray into clipless pedals:

George, when I first got this bike, I installed the Brooks and it just didn't look right, no sir didn't look right at all. As my first venture into style over function, I got a Specialized Toupe. The Toupe has plenty of rail space.

It is better to look good than to feel good.

Indeed, only in this case, it is better the bike looks good than me to feel good.

Hello Jim,

I have two Thomson seatposts, one setback, one normal. I like the two-bolt clamping system on them. I never had good luck with Campagnolo seatpost clamps. They always slip with me.

BTW, I would guess that the Campy seatpost is still under warranty.

Hi Jeff,

Still haven't ridden it -- not even around the block. It looks too nice to get dirty. ;) :D

Thanks Cleave, the slipping is what happened to mine. There really isn't anything to the serrations.

Very nice Cleave

What is the proper stem?
