Who needs 'sports drinks', energy gels, etc.? I subscribe to the Chris Horner method: Classic Coke and Snickers bars :D

Thanks Curt! Will do Greg! You may have to meet me on a Wednesday for a ride!

Had to splurge.....the Shimano clamp looked out of place. Had a day date with my wife, came home and went out for 10 miles!

I'm free weekdays...

Phoenix Timing is just around the corner from Tom as well, we can stink bomb them or something, although I like Fred and Hilda.

That's so funny! I drove the van down. Jeff told me that Fred is on the other side of the field! Fred is a good guy. I've never met him but I've heard he does good work and easy to work with!

Not bad for a Midvale grad ;) All these titanium frames - I want one!

Why is it, we always stop on bridges for pics? From a recent ride:

That is why kids use to be skinny, they rode these tanks as Mamma & Daddy didn't drive them everywhere..:eek: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1414541178.jpg

It might be able to be had for the right spoon trade

I can't remember the last time I posted a bike pic, so here's my current ride, a Trek 6 series:

I normally run Dura Ace tubeless wheels with Maxxis Padrone tires but I put these old Bontrager wheels on to see how light I could get it. 15-1/2 lbs, I just can't seem to break the 15 lb mark.

Jim Bremner 10-29-2014 07:39 AM

Pretty bike!

You could eat salad for two days and lose half a pound! (ha ha)

There was hill climb at Ft Davis in West Texas a few weeks ago and for the first time in my life I lost weight on purpose :). I'm pretty skinny anyway at 6'2" and 175 lbs but I still lost about 3 lbs. Don't know if it helped. I did the 7 mile climb in about 38 minutes while the winner was 26 minutes. The winner was a CAT 5 racer and he beat a CAT 1 racer by a couple minutes! I'm thinking he must do the climb about once a week ;)

Or ride naked. That white saddle: you might want to rethink that. :)

Jk. That is a light bike!

Here's your chance! :D ($40,000 ????????? At least 2 too many zeros on that price).

;)No thanks, I wouldn't pay 40 bucks for that thing. I have never been a fan of Specialized, to top it off.

Joe Bob 10-29-2014 02:36 PM

Bet Costner turned it down as well, he's a bit of a tightwad.
