Balaclava improves my looks. I'm thinking about switching to a beekeeper's helmet and screen for warmer weather. Any suggestions?

Bob, you are a spitting image of George Hincapie's father. Given your jersey of choice, it made me do a double-take. Any relation?

That's funny. I wish I had the motor but alas no realation. The jersey just happened to pop up on Chain Love so I got a good deal on it.

I've been waiting for this photo ... however I think it belongs in the "What does your bike look like" thread. Oh, were you standing in the photo?

Nice mix of shiny and black parts! Well done.

You have so many bikes to compare it to, it'll be interesting to hear your thoughts about how it rides.

Louis, don't worry. I found this photo of you on a trike with Katherine Hepburn. Thought you might like reliving the days when you could ride as good as you look.

Well?...keep in mind that I'm no longer quite as hard butted as most but the Zefal wound up getting a bit hard and wound up chopping me up a bit...so I wound up springing for a notch up and put a specialized "Romin Evo" on her...it has more rounded edges and is the best saddle this poor boys ever owned.

You look way too young for this place, sure you aren't sand bagging us about the age?

Nice bicycle, too!

Hmm... Well thanks. I officially crossed over last month. But, thank you for the compliment. Cycling keeps me (us) young. Just pedal.....
