The Ritchey couplers are just plain smart mechanical design. I also have Thomson posts on both of mine.

This is surprisingly faithful to the original. I miss Tom.

15 miles shy of 6000 for the year, and 314,000 feet of climbing. BUT this is BOTH IRL and ITG. I need to copy the last few weeks of rides, paste them in Excel, and do a little fiddling...

IRL = 4758 miles, 260602 feet. I doubt I will get to 5000 real world miles by the end of the year, though it's not impossible.

i can’t decide what i’d find most doable, but probably 3 at 3k plus the occasional “extra” flattish back to back day. my 2-4k rides aren’t really ones i can fit into a weekday though, in an hour and a half i’m looking at 2k max.

I’m at 5800 miles with 217k climbing so far- not really enough, I’m going to shoot for 450k next year.
1500 if those miles are trainer road w. 0 elevation, if I were doing Zwift it would probably add 75k

I talked to my wife last night about ordering the 12s di2- she said since it was $1,999 it was under the notification threshold and so I didn’t even need to ask. I think it’s a trap

Luckily, one daughter is already off the payroll, and daughter #2 is a Junior so only 1.5 more cars to buy/burn.

Beautiful bike. The couplers start to matter when you start putting it in the travel case. If you have a good set of bicycle cables cutter they are not difficult to install. If you don't, you need to leave the job for someone who does.
The Ritchey couplers are just plain smart mechanical design. I also have Thomson posts on both of mine.

I havnt taken it apart since I bought it 2 years ago. Or maybe 3 years ago. I can’t remember, bought it in Columbus Ohio, flew out to pick it up and had the owner teach me how to put in the bag and flew it home.
I thought I would have been bringing it to work all the time with me, but realistically the 737 would be more of a hassle, and commuting doesn’t help the situation.
June I am hoping to be DCA based, and i’ll be flying the Bus, which is super roomy, so The Ritchey should start going with me all the time.
Hopefully I’ll start riding with more of you guys. San Fran overnights with Genejocky, LAX with bigjohn. I shouldn’t lose MsP or PHX I don’t think.
Maybe even make it to where cypress lives. Not sure if he still post here.

I think it’s on sale for less at Merlin.
Man I wish I had 1,999 number threshold. An emonda would be sitting where my Creakvelo sits.
Also, Zipps would be where superteams sit.
1,999 is this a one time thing, or can you make like 7 purchases at 1,999, as long as they are separated you don’t have to notify?

Mountains are only 90 mins away. Just havnt been able to coordinate with other riders when to go. The groups I ride with go a couple times a year, I am just always working when they go.
I would like to go once with someone who knows the area, and then I will start going up there by myself.
If I left my house at 430 am, I could be on the blue ridge parkway by 6-630 latest, ride for 3 hours and be home by 2 pm. Wife would be cool with this once in a while.
