Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Well, if this is it, happy trails, partner. He seemed to be getting fed up with the BF winter funk.

Unlike you, Sargent Carter, I don't have to move my lips when I type or read.

In any event, anyone that thinks that the custom steel Baum that I posted is similar to a Pedal Force with a nifty paint job (Ritte)... well, they ain't got taste.

True but he posted that he was deactivating FB so it is unlikely.

SGT if you don't know how to spell it, or maybe move your lips when you type....
Leave the HOT or NOT to those in the know, as discussed in the other thread...no rookies allowed, unless you can demonstrate some additional hidden knowledge which you have to date, failed to do...For example post your HOT bke, etc...

Yeah, UCIMBZ and that nut job Solo have some hot bikes... but that other yahoo? The one that thinks is heavy ass can ride on 1200g wheels? The one that has two inches of seat post showing? The one who can't ride in the drops? Bwah!

Got until Thursday to find Lowcel so he can start a new thread. Fortunately, we have extra time with the leap day.

why is everyone arguing with WHOOOSHHie? I was told to never argue with an idiot; they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.


oh and can you all please stop quoting him, it defeats the purpose of having him on ignore.

Can't speak for anyone else, but I'm not arguing... just bantering. All in fun, er something. I mean, did you see the pic of him on his Harley? Can you take that man seriously? No, I think not.

But read and decide what you think.

BTW where do you store your underwear that you wear outside your shorts?
