Funny how everyone's a critic. I'm still waiting for someone to complain about the position of the cranks or maybe the valve caps...

I can forego the white garage door for such an interesting background, but...
1) Not in the big chainring
2) Not in the small cog
3) Cranks not level
4) Valve stems not lined up
Please try again.

'Cuz it can't climb well and its handling is odd and 'sluggish', not very snappy, like the F1. If you wanna ride triathalons or ride flat, its an ok bike. The F1 does more and it sprints just as well as the AR.

No team kit but I am the only guy with a black/white carbon fiber Mongoose Bosberg out there. I usually also do about 3 laps but not lately. Get out too late from work so I show up just when they're about done...

I think the only person on the team who rides it on a regular basis is Zabriskie when he's in his quasi-tt setup with skinsuit and 1080's. I seem to remember a quote from Allen Lim sometime last week about how Zabriskie thinks it rides better than the F1, but I'm sure that's mostly when he's out hunting down breaks, i.e. once every 3 weeks.

This works for me:
Or, this:
But not both at the same time. See the difference?
Or, perhaps I'm just a photo-phillistine...

Why is criticism unexpected or even bad? Everyone has different opinions on things. It's not like people are saying "Your bike sucks and therefore your mom's a prostitute."
As for the photos, well... It's a colorful bike on a colorful background, but the photos aren't very colorful. Kind of dark and dingy. A few clicks in a photo editing app brings out a lot:
Anyhow, not my kind of bike at all, but a good picture goes a long way.

Im sure that bike looks a lot more attractive against that wall than a plain jane moots. I think its a beautiful bike and a beautiful wall.
Definately better then a white garage door. Thanks for pics;
