Will be a cold day.... Currently at 7 pages, I'd call this a successful troll. Compare this to the earlier efforts that got Hot R Not locked. Much more sophisticated. The image of clyde-and-a-half aero on the Madone will stay with us!

Those are good reasons, but not complete dealbreakers, although the latter one comes close... 3D-printed 6al4v ti disc rims would be the frikken bomb.
Maybe some day soon... gonna cost ya, but.

8 pages and going don't let this thread die! What tires do you recommend I say Continental Gatorskins or Schwalbe Marathons.

The bike may be squished before he could wear out a Gatorskin.
