I've had a good laugh with that, too. On group rides, when we stop for a breather, everybody gets off their bikes and sits in the grass, or something. I stay sitting on my bike. Somebody will ask, "Don't you ever get off that thing?" I always answer, "And do what, stand up? I have my chair...

Whew, that was close! That would have been what you call your basic computer crash. :lol: :lol: Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week. Mark

No, it would NOT work. Put the hacksaw down and back away from the Y-Foil. NOW! :lol: :lol: Mark

The price of the Gary is certainly attractive and I've been happy with it.. Mark

Midget Porn!!!!

Maybe because it sounds like the title of a porn movie? :lol: :lol: Mark

Incidentally, I ran a tripple on my upright road bike and spent nearly the whole time on the middle ring. +1 I'm so used to running on the 42 that I have a hard time getting used to anything else. I shift up to the 52 on flats and downhills where I'm going full-tilt boogie. For just...

I'd go triple for both reasons. Compact doubles are for climbing, more than sheer speed. Triples give you both the low end wall crawler gear and the top end, take no prisoners gear. But, I'm weird like that and compact doubles are all the rage. All the cool kids have them and I'm just a...

Not sure, like I said, I was futzing with the gearing a little too much. I'd really have to ride it around some more. For me, it was no better and no worse, just different. No, I don't. Mark

You are pedalling faster. The speed actually winds up very fast, though it doesn't seem like it. I'm struggling trying to come up with the words to explain, John. I rode my commuter bike with long cranks this morning and it was just the opposite. It seemed to take forever to get up to speed...

Last night, I took a ride with my boss after work. I decided to take my old Silvio I out and do the first significant ride since I built it up. It will probably be the last, as well, because I believe I answered the questions I had in my mind. This is the bike that was discussed in this...

Jack is in Santa Monica. I'm sure he'll chime in here as he's usually real good about letting people take a look-see and try his bikes. His was the first Silvio I laid eyes on and the reason I bought mine. Be careful, you too will be assimilated! Mark

Today, I was riding my conversion to work and was kind of grumbling to myself. It had taken me longer than usual to get out of the garage today... I messed around on the computer too long, then kind of piddled as I finished getting the bike ready. So, I left the house and as I pedaled up the...

Do like Cycleguy, put it on a trainer this winter and keep fit for spring. Just don't forget that it's backwards to how you would think it should go in the trainer. Right John? 8-) Mark

And geeked you should be! Lots of pictures, please! We love bike porn. No bike mechanic butt-cracks, though, please. :shock: Congratulations, you are gonna love this bike! Mark

When it rains, it pours and they get flash floods. Everything in extreme in the desert. Mark

Oh heck no... I would NOT live in Vegas for anything. Winters are colder there than here... It's desert, extreme temps in both summer and winter. That and it's a $hit-hole. Mark

All this talk about winter has me thinking I need to seriously start thinking about fenders. Damn. Mark

I got that part. I really did. I was just sayin'.... Mark

Pssssst, Stevearino.... That's a trike. It has three wheels and for that reason, does not require a kickstand. However, if you must put a kickstand on something, please put it on your trike and lean your Silvio against something. :lol: :lol: Mark
