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

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!

[greglepore]

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.

[nikita76]

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!

From my ride yesterday near Holliston, Mass.

[CurtEgerer]

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..

[Scooter]

Ah, the CHiPs bike!!!

[Jim Bremner]

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

[Joe Bob]

Gee, thanks Jim......rub it in.

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.

Who here was looking for bulk cable housing? I have some xtr grey that I'll sell cheap in 100' lenghts

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!

I waited for 3 hours to see that dumb film. This was the only time I cut class in high school.

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

FS: Costner's American Flyer Allez

[look 171]

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]

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