Making sense has nothing to do with bicycle choice.

Unfortunate, but true.

That line of (non-)reasoning is why I have seven bikes at home. :notamused:

Maybe if I had spare parts sitting around, like some of youse.

Assembling a bike from the component parts, right down to the spokes, is about the experience

Uh huh, that's what they all say.

I love that Langster. There is a frame for sale on ebay for like $450 and it is my size...

Not enough color.

Kudos. I got mine 2 weeks ago.

BTW at some point I do advise you get the shingrix. It's 95% effective.

WhyFi 10-18-19 09:25 AM

Wife got her flu shot a couple weeks ago and I took the kids for their shots yesterday; I need to make an appointment for myself before I forget again.

The Allez build got me the part-time gig at the bike shop.

It's a blast to ride.

PepeM 10-18-19 09:43 AM

It wouldn't include the colorful wheels though, which is sad.

Done that too (and pissed and moaned about it here). I really, really, don't want zoster and I've seen a case or two of varicella vasculopathy, which is simply terrifying.

I am on the waiting list to get mine. When I went to my doc 2 months ago, I was told I am #150 on the list. Still waiting.

Yeah, Big Vaccine is creating artificial scarcity to please George Soros and the Velominati.

My wife had to wait well over the 6 mo limit for her second dose. When they called her in for it, she asked if she could put me on the list and they said, "Oh, just tell him to come in today." Apparently, letting spouses cut in line was RiteAid policy.

Anyway, yer young yet.

Would be tempted if it took rim brakes.

Trying to decide if this looks more like leopard or trout. Either way, I would totally wear um ride it. I'm sure it's huge though.

I also have this problem. I don't foresee a new bike for a long time. My wife is at her limit.

Cold this a.m. and it's not even cold yet: long tights, wool jacket, and vest. Just ordered a packable wind jacket from Pactimo.

Word. I had to battle the elements this week. The awesome Marigold jacket may makes its appearance soon.

Delayed onset?

We need a picture of this thing, you know. Just to pique our envy.
