I see owners online trying to find the little parts without much luck.

And speaking of covid, a coworker and his whole family got it. I assume it’s from the kids at school. The kids have no symptoms; the parents feel pretty terrible.

Rather tight margins for first loser on the podium.

Four different seatpost diameters among the eight bikes in the rjones28 cycling fleet, but they are all round.

It would take some doing to figure out the multiples for me.
I sure would take a spin on ye olde 26.0mm bike, it's been quite a while. Warning: boondocks content. (even though they were being swallowed by the suburbs) https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...644033187b.jpg |
Round pegs don't always fit in round holes it would seem.

It takes some looking in the stores, but pilsners are still easier to find than a good stout or porter.

Busy day at work. I skimmed the dailies and did not see the big announcement from VV. Did I miss it?

Hot day on the lawn. DougRNS and his Enegizer mower wouldn't have lasted one hour this morning.

well that’s depressing. Looks like either wilier won’t be available until may next year. I have one bike shop hunting down a frame for me but with them building it, it’s going to exceed the cost. They offered sram red axs and enve wheels for 5 percent off but I think that will bring it to 10,000 or more. Wilier USA advertises di 2 for 9,000, however if I could get it with sram force it would be 8,000. I even am now leaning towards the zero SL. With sram or chorus it would be 7,000 which would leave money over for a computer, power meter and trainer. Unfortunately I can’t find one anywhere.
Not that I need to rush, but getting permission from the wife one has to act before she changes her mind. Allied echo interest me a lot, just doesn’t have the aero I was hoping for, but maybe that’s not as important? Thoughts? |
Someone summarize the vibe here today with a music video.
One submission only, please. |
