I did the full length of Latigo Canyon Rd. The wind was strong enough to give me a few scares, luckily the borrowed Felt has narrow section wheels. If it had deep section, I would have likely been knocked over.
It got hot here too. Currently 84F. Going back to the cold east coast in 2 days.

A small number of their songs, everybody knows 'em, made a huge impression on me, but I wasn't of an age to go to a store, pick up an album and get deep in to their catalog. I think that I eventually picked up a Greatest Hits in the late 90s, but that's about the extent of it.

It looks like the “extension” of the seat tube to horizontal is 61cm. My Colnago is a 48 but it’s really a 52 virtual seat tube. Sloping top tubes result in whacky sizing nomenclature.

Why would you say 57? I don't think that anyone has referenced ST since semi/compact frames became the standard. As such, I'd say 59 or 60.

Plus, I do know that real frame size is measured by stack and reach anyway

This. Also, mostly over 58 you don't get TT = ST anymore. For example, my Bianchi is a 61, but it has a 58.5cm (virtual) TT. I generally ride 58s, but the 928 was a 'race' frame that year, so the 58 would have put the bars too low. A 61 with sloping TT and everything fits - with a zero setback seatpost.

I'm pretty happy I wasn't riding a horizontal TT bike when my pedal spindle broke, so the jewels weren't stuffed back into my abdomen, where they hadn't been since I was a wee lad.

That ginormous HT, plus what looks to be a 0 rise stem, and about 3-4cm of spacers makes it look really tall. What do you normally ride?

This says 22.7 with 4664 feet. Add 2000 feet to the top and add 1400 for the return trip.

Probably gonna pass on any new Tears for Fears. Hearing that song multiple times a day for 3 or 4 years was pretty traumatic!
