Yeah, but you got passed by a trike... That's all the BROLers need to see... :lol: Good job on the video! Mark

:lol: :lol: :shock: :lol: :lol: Mark

I'd like to see that in turd-murkley orchid with a flourescent chartreuse racing stripe. :lol: :lol: Mark

Well, I guess it had to happen sooner, or later.. I've heard the stories and had stuff thrown in my general direction. Tonight, though, on my way home from work, I was struck by a thrown soda bottle. Thankfully, the a$$hole had the decency to put the cap on, so I didn't get a soda bath...

Everytime I ride into a headwind, I get to wondering about a fairing. When I turn the corner and it's a crosswind, I put it out of my mind!! I have to say, though, the last few days of riding in the wind tunnel have me feeling a little more secure. I'm still not sure I want to attach a sail...

It's kind of funny; yesterday, without thinking about why, I compared cycle commuting to work with methadone. I thought about it some more on my ride home and I guess you could say that cycling is my drug of choice. I prefer the weekend rides with friends, no time schedule and breakfast along...

Hi Steve! Great post and welcome to the forum! You have the right attitude! Laugh at it now and appreciate it more when you get the wobbles dialed out. Have fun and welcome again! Mark

Sometimes, I think it makes sense to take time off the bike and weight train/spin. But I have to say I'd rather ride in cold and wind that to sit on a trainer. My hat's off to anybody that has the dedication and patience to sit on a trainer for hours on end. It does, indeed, sound like you're...

Today was my first commute to work this year. Time constraints, the holidays, some really bitter cold (keep quiet, Peder, I'm content with my level of "bitter cold") have kept me off the bike. It's not that I don't like riding my bike to work, but I suspect it's a lot like methadone. It's...

Hide the hacksaw from yourself... ;) :lol: :lol: Mark

Nope, wrong kind of dropouts. You could do it with the conversion kit, though! :idea: Mark

My son has been wanting a fixed gear. No job and no money makes it kind of hard to do. A friend of mine hooked him up with a frame he had laying around..... An old Dave Scott Ironman Centurion. Nice, steel lugged frame. I had some extra parts, so between the parts that came on the frame and...

Marc, That's a great story! I agree with Doug in that 23-25 is not out of the realm of doable. I can hold that longer as I get into better and better shape, too. I also agree with Doug about going back to play with the kit some more. I got a few things in mind. Mark

I grabbed the last six pack in my local Bevmo tonight. Can't wait to taste. Mark

I haven't ridden a Corsa, so cannot compare to the Strada. The strada is steel, so slightly heavier. I wouldn't call it a tractor, though. By closing the pedalling position, I mean sitting further up and closing the distance between my chest and my knees, where the power is as opposed to...

Anybody making plans for summer cycling vacations? I've been thinking about a few. I was thinking about doing a tour ride down the west coast, either self supported, or family supported. I was also thinking about doing a cross-state ride, like RAGBRAI, or one similar to it. Brewmaster has...

Cruzbike Silvio: This is an aggressive bike. Throw your leg over one and see. When you settle into the seat, your pulse quickens. The comfort and ergonomics are second to none and all you want to do is ride. You'll swear the bike is speaking to you, begging to be ridden and ridden fast. Go...

Cheap and silly is what I'm about! Mark

I had a Bachetta Srada and I can tell you the Silvio climbs way better. No comparison. Compared toa road bike, the climbing technique is very similar except, of course, you can't stand, per se. What I catch myself doing a lot is rocking the bike side to side. Even going so far as to slightly...

I'm gonna give Doug a +1 on this project. I think it's a little scary, but salvagable. You nailed that seat position, Jack. Props for that. Now, step away fom the hacksaw! :lol: :lol: Mark
