No, I'm pretty sure Mark Sisson has never had a heart attack. Do you have a reputable source for these rumors?

I was telling my husband about this description, and he said, "Sounds like Yoda." Hmmm... :eek:

Congratulations! You had a beautiful day for it.

Still wearing the Terry Liberty shorts I had bought before getting into Cruzbikes. Almost knee-length, a little looser through the thigh. Thought about removing the chamois, but I still occasionally ride my road bike or my son's MTB. I also found a pair of Gore Alp-X Lady MTB shorts on clearance...

Update: I checked with my very young, green-behind-the-ears* Honda service advisor after a couple of days. He claimed that only the owner of the dealership, who was out of town for a week, could authorize restitution for the damage, and promised to call me back ASAP. Two weeks after the carrier...

Haven't tried the Seasucker. I didn't want to put a strap-on carrier on my Honda Accord, so I had a Curt hitch installed with a 1 1/4" receiver. Can't tow with it (not that I wanted to), but it'll hold a two-bike carrier just fine. Here's the thread where I was asking about carriers last...

I have a short chainstay I'd be happy to get rid of if you change your mind. I converted my Quest from 451 to 507 (24"), requiring the longer chainstay.

A relatively sedate 36.4 mph on the Silvio 1.5, matching my top known speed on the road bike. No pedaling, no braking, no breathing... A comfortable 28.2 mph on the Q507, pedaling hard on a shorter, less-steep downhill, with a tailwind.

I grew up in north Mississippi, very near Memphis, and still have family up there.

They do favor, don't they? I bought mine from @ReklinedRider as a frameset with handlebars, brakes, and brifters. Don't know where he got it.

Come on down! Maybe you and @bubbabent could caravan over.

How about a two-for-one deal? The ninth annual Bikes, Blues and Bayous ride in the Mississippi Delta town of Greenwood took place August 6. A record 947 riders from 17 states turned out for the flat, hot, humid event. More than 500 of those riders chose the metric century loop, while the rest...

I rode the first half of Tuesday night's "very hot Parkway ride" solo, catching up to the B group just as they were leaving the turnaround. One of the Thursday-night regulars offered me a place in the line, since I hadn't had a chance to rest. I've been careful to let other riders know that I...

Same here. I'm about 200 miles south of you. It was 96F (35.5C) yesterday at 6 p.m. for the Tuesday-night 20-mile group ride, with a heat index of 107F (42C), and unpleasantly humid. At least five of the 40-50 riders developed heat exhaustion within an hour.

This was after I'd left Minter City and turned back south, probably between 32 and 35 miles into the ride.

At Bikes, Blues & Bayous last year, an older yellow Vendetta came flying by me. I cheered and hollered like some kind of nut. :oops: The rider finished the 62-mile and left before I finished the 46, so I didn't have a chance to talk with him, or look at his V more closely.

I strapped a Twofish Quick Cage on top of the boom. I'm not quite to where I can pull the bottle without thinking about it, but I don't wobble all over the path any more. Replacing the bottle is much easier. I've always had trouble with my trapezius muscles cramping when I reach down and back to...

Bless your heart! You might have set a record for miles per Arte Johnson. :p I still use pedals on the Silvio that have one platform side and one SPD side, so I don't have to clip in until I make it past stall speed. What part of "Nawth" Alabama do you hail from? If it isn't too much of a...

I went looking for an image of those old flipped bars, and found this post full of permutations and aberrations. IMO, Sheldon Brown's double-handlebar bike takes the cake. The photo at the bottom of the page even has upside-down brifters, on a little different bar configuration...
