I feel ya. Stupid people are gonna do stupid things. Like swiping me with a moving truck, running me off the road, passing and then suddenly turning in front of me without signalling, throwing...

I've never built a drag car motor, but I worked as a mechanic for a number of years. I hear ya. Once you've R&Rd engines, nothing on a bike is hard. There are a few special tools and a few new...

Oh, thank goodness. I was beginning to think I was a weirdo. My LT is almost 97% of max HR: 184 and 190 respectively. I can stay at 180 for about half an hour before I'm toast, but 190 will see me...

I'm 5'9" and 214lbs. I used to be a pretty serious gym rat, but my old "V" shape looks more like a "W" now. Back then, whenever I saw someone 300+ lbs in the gym, my sentiment toward them was always...

I view a stable of bikes as something of a tool box. Each bike has it's place and purpose. I'm not going to go do threshold efforts or intervals on a beater, and I'm not going to leave my CF bike...

Got any photos of it fully assembled? Mine isn't so flashy. Just dark blue with white lettering. I'd post a photo, but I'm not allowed to yet. 😂😢

Thanks, man. Not 100% yet, but getting there. My Kestrel has a seat post that can be flipped in either direction, but I can't imagine flipping it forward. I'm 5' 9-1/2" riding a 55cm frame, and...

Performance Bike had a shop close to my house. They were my shop for two years, and now they’re all closing. It sucks because the people who worked there didn’t act like it was a corporate store....

Grail bike

My grail bike was a Kestrel Talon X (I don’t race and don’t have lofty bike acquisition goals), and I finally got one a month and a half ago. I love it and I ride the crap out of it every chance I...

Fore / aft

I know I’m late to the party, but pay attention to your saddle fore-aft position in relation to the bottom bracket. I just went from a gravel bike to a road bike and positioned my seat the same as...

N+1

I don’t race, so I’ve never had lofty bike acquisition goals. But I’m finding the rule of N+1 does apply. I have a vintage Univega Competizione “Frankenbike” with Record/Mavic/105 components, a GT...

Performance Bike
