Yeah, they found 10 or 12 substances in his urine when they opened him up. Those are things I never give any thought to. It's always unexpected.

We have Red Racers here. They haul ass.

As part of reducing the fleet to two road bikes, today I transplanted the bars and stem from the Ironman to the Trek 414. I will later have to transplant the front brake calipers from the Trek 930 also. The 414 was built around 27" wheels.
I'm suddenly rich in quality components. And wheels. I have never had enough wheels.

One of these days I'll pack both framesets, and whatever else will fit, and carry them back North, to sell. They will be liberation. Imagine it. Just two road bikes. Wow!
The wheels I can likely sell here. Or not.
Oddly, both of the keepers are dark blue. A very similar shade. When I'm feeling less tired I'll roll them out into the sun and take a pic.

There used to be a tv program about a well known medical examiner called Dr G. Some of the cases stuck with me. One was a nurse about 34 years old when she passed. The Dr discovered necrotic tissue in the esophagus all the way down to the lungs. It seems the nurse had snorted large amounts of cocaine for years and that plus all the impurities had done the damage.

Let's just say that it would be wise for you to be wary of them in a mixed field.

I saw one on Brown's Mountain a couple months ago. I didn't think they normally hung out in this area, but there he was.

Well I see what the problem is……….


So the black oval shape is the varia. It’s the car radar you will see people talk about on here. Mine probably threw you off because there is no light with it. I had a great tail light already so I elected to save 50 dollars and get just the radar.

Because the seat post is “aero”, it’s actually called a mast. it’s really narrow but long length wise. The varia came with a mount to work on “all bikes” but it used a piece of rubber and these hard rubber bands to hold the varia in place on the back of the “mast.”

It worked okay in the beginning but over time the band stretched out, it resulted in the varia moving around while I was riding. A friend of mine at trek who also has a madone and varia came up with a solution. I had no idea he did this, he called me a couple of days ago and told me to come in and pick it up.

I have the same Varia.

Hmmm, come to think of it I used to take my chain off the cervelo all the time to clean it. I always re used the quick link. I was going to say, it’s shimano so I’m not all to concerned…….. But…… I just remembered I rub sram on that as well.

I don’t think I have dropped this chain yet, but the last one I took off atleast once a month if not more.

There is a seatpost mount on amazon for 14.00 if you are interested.

OMG, I've seen that movie.

Gorgeous!

I love snakes.

I thought you were talking about San Diego at first, especially since you'd just watched their baseball team

Mojo31

May be the one I have.



The one your friend made is pretty slick. How does it attach to the mast?

There’s a hole with threads on the back side. so didn’t even know it was there, and have no clue what it was there for. He has me screw the mount into that.

Ooof, Shimano was the only money maker in my portfolio today

Actually New York Community Banccorp was up 0.2%, but ...

My i-Bonds are looking better by the day.

LesterOfPuppets

I only have a couple of funds with bonds (and both of those were up 2-3%). The Disciplined Investor was pushing I bonds pretty hard the other day so I've been thinking of getting 5k worth.
