I just got a message from a patient citing ONE study on Ivermectin and asking me to write him a script.
Not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent. Not at this juncture.
I know there may be a fine line between cutting edge and quackery, but I am a fairly mainstream physician/internist and it's too soon to be jumping on this bandwagon.

New aero haircut. Not the best job because Andre, the guy who usually cuts my hair, just went back to Italy for vacation. But it will do.

Sad!

I should check Fit forums. Can't say as I've ever been there.

It does bother me that these ISPs with special wedges and parts could render a frame completely useless if a small plastic piece broke or got lost.

Also, the fancy seatpost binders are too finicky.

Now, if he were to crash again and break the bike, we might be looking at a different situation.
The right dream bike is out there for him. It may just take some time to find and/or some travel or shipping.

Rs 171. Basically an updated version of what came with the C2.
The Zero is suppose to come with Wilier carbon wheels, also interesting on the Filante SlR they switched the wheels to fulcrum 500 but are still asking the original price.
Still waiting to hear back from wrench science. I would do the zero Sl which is 5600.00. Then ask what kind of discount I could get if I put reynold assualts plus a stages ultegra power meter on it. From what I’m calculating I would still have money left over for a wahoo kickr core, and a wahoo element or roam.
Also considering the canyon ultimate CF SLX 8. The reviews are hard to pass up, just wish the brake cables were hidden.

Hell I still want a Series X, but not until I can walk into BB and pick it up off the shelf.
