I've raced the Venge, the Ridley, and the Foil. Of the three I'd suggest the Ridley. The Venge bottom bracket is low-ish, the bike itself isn't all that stiff. The Foil is uber stiff but not always in a good way. The Ridley falls in a sweet spot.
The Propel has a lot of good stuff going for it. Just haven't ridden one.

On the bb stiffness thing. My Masi is Uber stiff and I really like it then the chance came along with the Felt. I was told that I couldn't ride an aero frame but I really like it, seems to transition power well and went through 1700 watts without a hitch or squeak. What I like is that though probably not as stiff it is fast all the time if that makes any sense. I would really like to try a Noah Fast but that's a lot of scratch for a frameset...

i believe the right amount of vermouth to add is: i believe there was once a bottle in the house; there must be a few molecules of it floating somewhere. Ergo, vermouth for my martini

I once bought vermouth because I was 21 and the Internet said it was a mandatory thing to have in a home bar.
I made martinis for everyone who came over, and they all complimented me in my skills. Eventually I cleaned that bar out after I quit drinking almost 10 years later and that bottle was still in there, unopened.

I once bought vermouth, made Martinis once, and never used it again. I kinda want to try again now.

What's wrong with vermouth? You need it to make a boulevardier.

Wrong sub-forum, if XC ride means cross-the-country, go to Touring, if it means cross country mountain biking, go to mountain biking. This is the road race forum, not for beginners.

I'm personally not a martini guy but I am fond of a good Manhattan, so at some point I really should get my hands on some vermouth. But there's no hurry, I've got everything I need to make a good old fashioned. Sugar, bitters and bourbon.

I just received an email with an offer for a Private Skating Session at Rockefeller Center with Kristi Yamaguchi! $250 I will have to check with my coach.
