I don't think BF can take credit for HTFU. Team CSC owns those rights.

Following an excruciatingly burning pee and the 4-year wait for a custom paint job, I decided to pull the trigger on my awesome new Mercier/Motobecane/BottecchiaUSA, flipped the stem, swapped the wheels for some rockin' new Open Pro Ultegras then swapped again for some Zipps with very supple Vittoria Corsa EVO CX tubulars, and on my maiden voyage, forgot to clip out of my new clipless pedals and fell over, then I saw some OCP fred up ahead and I dialed it up to 400W, droped the hamer, and yelled at him to learn some self-loathing and HTFU, because after all, it's the engine not the bicycle.

After I finished posting photos and asking questions about my fit, I began commenting on my friends cervelo cable routing when another friend claimed the CAAD9 has a laterally stiffer and vertically compliant ride that can only be noticed at 400 watts; I told them both to HTFU and dropped the hammer.

Remove the comma and the resulting run-on sentence will also count for a cliche.

Let's not forget the "Shill". As in: "You low-life shill. Low post count, and you're first thread is about *insert company-name-that-we-all-know here*!?! Freakin' SHILL!!! "

I decided to pull the trigger on my awesome new Mercier/Motobecane/BottecchiaUSA and good thing I didn't use a credit card purchasing stuff from the UK. I couldn't decide what crank to use a compact or a triple and which wheelset was an even bigger problem. I decided to head out on my maiden voyage but first had to decide whether to wear underwear under my shorts and I questioned if i should ride with an iPod. I decided to ride with the iPod because it drowns out the pain in my guads as well as the damn cagers who think I should ride on the sidewalk during critical mass. I saw some fred up ahead and I dialed it up to 400W, drope the hammer, and told him to HTFU. BTW did you hear Lance is racing again...i'm not sure if he's a doper or not but I really would like to get a trek.

I think you can all do better than that. I haven't seen exploding carbon, schwag, wrong forum, bibs are better than shorts, or any Campy vs. Shimano comment.

I had to merge the two threads. It may read a little out of order but there is nothing I can do to fix that without deleting a bunch of posts. So lets forward with this thread from here please.

While I decided between a Shimano or Campagnolo groupset, I threw my helmet in the dishwasher and yelled at the neighbors.

Wearing new bibs, I was testing that awesome new Rival gooppo my LBS swapped out for the si ht y Sora that I couldn't shift from the drops on my CADD 9 during my first group ride and dreaming of a full custom Lynskey or something more expensive that’ll last forever when I’m old, a Fred on a BD piece of c ra p that was shilling for Mike on her PDA came into might sights, so I dialed the Cervelo with the 7900 up to 400W, drope the hammer, and told her to HTFU and get a Madonne with Red and a Prince with 11 and Zipps and Contis and Gatorskins and Thomson this and that and etc; however, at just that moment.....
