I can’t tell you how many times I’ve booked flights to the Carib thru Miami, knowing that I will need long lay-over times because of how long it takes to get from one terminal to another or to get thru customs/immigration. Then, AA changes my flights giving me 10 minutes to connect outbound and 15 to connect inbound. Then I have to spend two hours on the phone with CS explaining how at least two hours are needed on the inbound flight due to the three hour lines to clear customs/immigration.

Question that came up in discussion recently - if you ride two 50 mile segments in one day (midnight to midnight, but they were broken up by a meal or two is that a century? Or, does it have to be a fairly continuous ride with breaks of shorter intervals.

I have one of those hanging as a frameset. It didn't make the cut.

You don’t happen to have a Wilier Filante SLR hanging on your wall too?

I was fine idly thinking about it, till I found a frame on Ebay for a reasonable price but it said it was a 60 (too big). I had to find another one to compare headtube lengths, using the pump peg and the spacing above and below it as a reference. It IS a 60. But in the course of that, I found this bike that I had passed by at least 4 times because the listing SAYS it's a 56.

I'm ready to stop flying into the USA. With a checked bag, you do customs twice. It's just nuts. Two hours to get through those shenanigans and another to make your connection. And I agree, Miami is the worst.

Never been there. We've got plenty of roads to ride on, so why bother?

Big john's gonna make fun of me, but I'm starting to jones again. This time for a Centurion Ironman. One of the guys on the ride had one - red and white, with Shimano 600 kit from between Arabesque and Tricolor. Too small for me, plus it's his bike. So I was looking on Craigs List like I often do and there's one up in Sonoma County. Red with 'Titanium', both metalflake. Same kit. Listed as a 56, but the pics look bigger than any 56 I've ever seen. Longer head tube, steeper angle between the seat tube and seat stays. Same 6207 kit. Seller's asking $300, but the listing's been there 16 days.....

Hi. I'm Doug, and I'm an addict. It's been 3 months since I last bought a bike.........

once again I'll be the voice of reason. I agree with Humbug that it's rude but also agree with vol that it's only a mild annoyance since it is a brief encounter. Would I do it? No. I like to try to cut people, even the doofuses (doofi?), some slack. If it is blasting at volume 11 that is unacceptable.
