She might just be my type! The response I always got was that the sails were not ripped so why do we need a new one. That was even the response once when the sail seams were coming apart.

It’s taken me 9 months to find something. It’s a “step back” in title, but the same comp and a better fit company wise. I’m going to be building out a BI/Analytics center of excellence and have a relatively blank slate, which I dig

Assuming BI is business intelligence. If so, in my experience that is an oxymoron. Good luck nevertheless. Downtown Pittsburgh or the burbs?

We opened this last night. I think it was a wedding present. Pretty good with a bit of cheese!

Got this frame in the early 80s and Peter updated it for me from the original Nuovo Record with NOS 7800 in 2014. Agree with all the comments. Wire rope was simply never meant to go around tight radii.

I only know their tri bikes. Our shop was a dealer for a while. Their tri bikes are very nice, so I would expect good things from their aero road bikes.
They're owned by American Bicycle Group which also owns Litespeed. cool thanks for the info. Def. will keep it in my back pocket. The geometry is a little weird, but I should be able to make it work. The color options are pretty sweet too. looking like bringing the ritchey to dallas isn’t going to work. This area isn’t too safe, and the service road is super super sketchy. It would prolly be fine early in the morning, only issue is if I get a flat or anything goes wrong I would be late to class. So if I ride after class it’s rush hour. Just walked down the road and almost got hit….. Riding at night is not an option due to the possibility of a GSW or worse. They did have a nice share the road sign……. |

I sometimes even think about this frame for $190, but 1. 650c 2. Alu 3. 51cm only, which would certainly make me very aero, but also slightly hurty https://www.randombikeparts.com/coll...50c-new-blem-3 https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...b8f3ab8b02.jpg |

https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...f4e5ee6cfc.png Don't know if I've ever mentioned this, but Mrs. abshipp agreed to marry me the night before we watched the 2017 eclipse in northern MO. One of the best weekends of my life. We had clear skies and totality for 2.5 minutes or so. Absolutely surreal. |

Ugh, I have so much farther to travel for this one now! Definitely one I will try and chase totality.

Whew, close call on the lawn!
I was on the tractor and went over a yellow jacket's nest. Now, if you're going fast enough, at the right time, the first time by/over might be OK, as my drive-by was. It's the second time, when they're all riled up, that's bad news. Fortunately I saw some a yard or so before the danger zone. There were like 15 buzzing around low near the nest, plus more going in and out. Could easily have been an ouchie evening for Velo Vol. |

rjones28, would you care to answer DougRNS's question?

I hope it works out well for you. |
