Power meter on my fixed gear gives some fun looking charts.
Doesn't track the power I put in backpedaling to slow me down though! Cadence still tracks but power drops to zero. I understand why but I'm still putting in work so I want credit for it!

Like a hybrid car, it's not power, it's regenerative braking.

This spurred me to think about what frame I might build up with it, even though I have no room for another bike, and I need one like I need a hole in the head. So, I askedMS Copilot about it:
What bike frame should I buy to build with a 1990s Dura Ace groupset?

Yeah, I was thinking something more affordable....
I looked at the team bikes for the 1995 TdF, for inspiration. The thing is, the 90s was a time of big changes in steel bikes, with tubesets breaking out of the old dimensions. Comparing my Ritchey (1995-ish) to the Circuit (1989) is a good example. The Circuit is made of all SL and SP, except the fork and seatstays. Skinny tubes, with the main triangle all round. Lugged construction. The Ritchey tubeset is from Tange, with a larger diameter top tube and a seat tube that's ovalized at the bottom bracket. TIG welded, not lugged. Since 7400/7410 Dura Ace was The New Hotness in the 90s, I feel like I'd want a frame that would have been more cutting edge than trailing edge BITD.
But of course, the problem with that is, they cost money! Fortunately, I'm in no hurry and may never get around to it.

That’s funny, and he’s not known for a sense of humor.

The Common Loon is one of the most attractive waterfowl. One of these days I'll get a shot of my own.

In the 1995 TdF, 3 teams rode Colnagos, and all 3 were running Dura Ace. So, a Colnago with Dura Ace would be period correct.
Not that I can afford a Master Light, of course.

He's part owner of a NASCAR Cup team, so it may be rubbing off. His team won whilst he was attending and being in Victory Lane likely helped, as well.
The name of his team is 23XI and the car numbers of his are 23 and 45. You will get in trouble if you are a team member and refer the raceshop to anything but "Airspeed".

USPS Tracking sez "Your item was delivered to the front desk, reception area, or mail room..." I don't have a front desk, reception area, or mail room. I sure hope it's at my house.
UPDATE: Mrs. GJ confirms the package arrived. YAY!!!

That little debacle on the mtb this morning has kept me in the hammock all day. I had things I wanted to do today, but I can barely walk. Who knew it was such a great workout, besides being so much fun? The so much fun part is the key. It’s just too damned easy to keep going, and pay the price after.
