Man, that sucked Blew the race wide open...
Frankly, if you have 3 team leaders stuck behind a crash like that, you have to call off the dogs and soft pedal. Even the break away.
FedEx needs to hurry up with my jersey and Stinger waffles. I'm bouncing off the walls waiting to start my ride.
jasus, man, just grab a dirty t-shirt off the floor and get your ass out there while it's nice...you can parade your sartorial splendor another time.
By the way, this is my motivation (Look 566) for getting my eating and exercise back on track:(Image removed from quote.)I figure if I can get back to shedding 2-3lbs a week I should be down to a good weight to actual start doing some serious riding (read: mountains, racing). My new rule is that for every pound that I lose I put $2 into a savings account for a total Fred bike. Better start shredding hardcore since that bad boy is about $3,000 without the PowerTap wheels I want.
Is the raked top tube configuration becoming standard for road bikes? is there a purpose behind it? It can't be for reduced standover height, could it? That seems too obvious, not esoteric enough.BTW, that is a beautiful machine.

I'm guessing that it's for a stiffer seat tube (hence less bottom bracket flex)...probably a little lighter as well, since there is less material.
I could see that too. Just curious - what's the advantage of a high end bottom bracket?
Got the jersey and, while it is really nice, it looks like I'm a good 50lbs away from wearing it. Turns out that the sizing on the Nashbar site was wrong and that a 4xl is really the equivalent of a 2xl. Time to order a 6xl, too bad i didn't know this before today, looks like I'll be riding in my black wicking shirt tomorrow instead.
Damn European sizes. None of those bastards are any bigger than me.
Mmmm. Ok. that might be a little much. Dang it.
