alkaline Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 I read an article once about a guy who bought one of those delivery trucks (like the ones FedEx drives) and built a bike shop in the back of it. He would travel around making house calls to all of his customers. How cool would that be? I'm just thinking out loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohno*rock Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Originally posted by Joker Does anyone know anything about Abici frames? My team just got a sponsorship deal through them and I can get a frame and fork set for real cheap. never heard of them before now, but just from checking out the websight they seem like very pro framesets (or drawings of pro framesets). expensive as hell, but what kind of deal do you get? i imagine that anything with a carbon rear triangle would be comfy and light but not comfy enough for the 12 to 14 hundred asking prices. anybody ever ride anything with carbon seat stays? if they hook up a good deal, seems like a nice opportunity to snag an exclusive ride. looks like you can choose the paint scheme, and theres a 5 year replacement warranty that seems to reflect confidence in there product. Dr. Turbo's pretty hot too! i think i caught a glimpse of her camel toe. whats up with the trek? did it get mangled in that last crash? if you ever go threadless or switch components from the trek, i'm tryin to buy or trade something for that deda murex stem.

ohno*rock Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 oh yeah, i'm on team super skinny as well, 6'1" 154 (same since about 97') what i lack in bulging mussles, i make up for in mastery of u-lock kung-fu. latest victem (only victem really) 13 staples in the dome piece (he carries the staples in his wallet as a souvenir hehe). anyways, my diet consists of kix cerial, pasta, cucumbers and pabst. a bit wierd, but ecinomical. i always manage to get a couple boxes of morning star veg/chicken patties in my jacket before the checkout line too; those go great chopped up with the cucumbers in the pasta. i think the secret to a good diet is being consistent with your healthy, or semi-healthy food choices. i read in an interview with this 100plus-year old dood, that his secret to a long life was normal exersize (farm work), a consistant diet and no hambergers. i think it shows in the consistancy of your craps. i crap at the same time every day, and if i miss one, or my shits too hard or juicy, i probably ate something i shouldn't have. (hows that for some 12oz shit talk :) ) i try to keep my piss clear too, so i drink even more water, than i do pabst. those odwalla protein drinks are pretty good too. if you happen to pedal by a baggle shop frequently, they're usually in a cooler near the ordering line. you can pocket one of those while in line (a savings of 2.79 for my fellow bargin hunters) then purchace a 40 cent baggle of your choice and be on your way, perfect mid day snack. be warned however, more than one a day = juicy crap.

Guest HESHIANDET Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 ok, im coming in at a whopping 194lbs at 6'2". not horrible by any means, im just getting a gut. my legs are as jacked as they've ever been. i never get huge calfs though. my thighs are works of art...hahaha wtf am i saying, whatever though, cyclists are concious about their legs. anyways, my diest is going good so far, now i jus need a new bike to help me train. i don't think i'd ever buy a cannondale mtn bike, but how about they're road bikes? ive never known anybody whos had one. the reason im asking is this http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?V...indexURL=0&rd=1 im giving it some serious consideration, maybe because im a dura ace hound. what cha guys think?

Guest TEARZ Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 hesh, i was very skeptical about cannondales, but practically everyone i've talked to that has or has ridden a caad 4 or 5 has raved about them. to an extent really, that it's silly. at my lbs, everyone loves them, and i'm actually considering getting the saeco caad 5 joint with some campagnolo proton wheels- i got offered a really nice deal. some complain about the harsh aluminum ride, but with dura ace and a carbon fork, that thing will FLY and at least be comfy up front. joker would probably know better than me, but i've even talked with this dude who is a straight up snob that has only ridden pinarellos, de rosas and colnagos for years (and currently rides a c-40 as his main bitch) and he siad that he used to hate cannondales, but now he has to give it up for them and wants to buy the caad 7. i've actually looked into them a lot lately. i'm between the caad 5, a look and the pinarello right now. i'd check out the caad 4. things to look for: carbon fork, hourglass seatstays, integrated headset... i'll checkout that link again in a minute, i just scanned it. ohno skinny too. looks like i'm the ulrich of the group. :( more diet. more miles. grrr.

ohno*rock Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 that cannondale seems like a lagit discount on a nice bike. i like the cxp30's laced to dura ace hubs. seems very clean and light weight. im not a fan of over sized tubes on any bikes, but it seems to be working well for cannondale. there probably one of the most popular brands in the US, so they must be doing something right. the dura ace does make it more inticing. plus anything thats good enough for gilberto simoni, is good enough for me. i'm looking forward to his defence of the giro title this year, as well as his tour. i don't believe team lampre was entered in last years tour? tearz, have you gotten a peak at that Look kg381? that shit is strait lamborgini. black with white lettering...blay zing what look where you lookin at?

Guest HESHIANDET Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 see now that i've givin that bike serious consideration and uped my price range im confronted w/ a huge dilema. i know i can run out to the nearest super mega bike mart and grab an ultegra lemaond (whatever model???i dunno) for a little less. hmmmmmmmm spankin new or dura ace slightly used????? truth be told you could put sora under my ass and i wouldn't know the difference..maybe. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Fuck you skinny little bitches... 5' 8" - 170lbs. Yeah... who's fat? Who's the Ullrich, now? Don't mess with this grandpa... I'll outsprint you all! And then grasp for air like a dying camel. Hesh... I ride a Cannondale400 for my rain bike. Cheap as shit and at times I think it handles just as nicee as my carbon Trek. The CAAD4's are real nice. I've riden one before and it handled beautifully. And with Dura Ace... that price is a steal. I'd just hit the buy it now button and call it a day.

Guest TEARZ Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 ohno, the look that i can get a deal on is the kg 361. the 381 is out of my bling range right now, although the thing looks ridiculous. i must say that the 361 that is in the shop looks incredible too. it's white with black lugs and has all black wheels and chorus gruppo. oooh goddamn it looks good. class. what are you riding these days? hesh. you heard what joker said. push the buy button and call it a day. :) if only it were that simple. gotta go to work. smell you guys later for the next installment.

DIBS Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Re: Fuck you skinny little bitches... Originally posted by Joker Dibs... sorry to hear about the job situation. Can you get work at another shop? i dont sweat the job so much, i am looking at other shops and have some good offers to start in a couple weeks, what i really miss is the customers/friends i've made there. life goes on. man untill now i have tried to keep out of the "new bike" talk, but damnit, the weather is so nice right now and i am missing my road bike more than ever, i NEED a road bike. cant afford one now. when i was still at the bike shop i was just gonna get a 02 lemond zurich, it was cheap, pretty, full ultegra and most improtant to me steal. now that i'm leaving the shop, i am looking to get something a little different, in my area, alot of people have zurich's, rightfully so, its a great bike for the price, hesh if you can get an 01 cheap, go for it! i rode a lemond for 5 months as a loaner, and i loved it. now im shopping around for a smaller company, and i am even starting to look at bikes that are not steal, specialized makes a nice aluminum road bike with compact frames, the festina model is a sweet bike, and the new shop i may start at soon is a specialized dealer. also there are alot of frame builders here in the bay, most notabaly zinn who specializes in making frames for tall people:) out of steal, jericho of mtn bike frame fame recently started making steal road frames as well, and in SF, sysip makes a really nice bike also, it will be a while before i can buy a bike so i,ve got time to really look and decide on the right one, i'd love a euro frame if could get a deal on one. i dont really need dura ace or the price tag that goes with it, ultegra is more than great for my needs. shopping around untill i get enough money saved to get what i want. i'll be on the trail untill further notice.

I still want the Litespeed or Indie Fab road bike. Someday. For now though, I've pretty much given up on buying anything new unless it's to replace something that's broken.

ohno*rock Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 i wanted matilda to shoot that guy in the face! tearz.. the kg361 is deffinately just as 'bling' as the 381 i figure when you get that high-end whats the diff. that joint with chorus.......geeeze! i think i'll always stick to steel road frames though. i ride a 84 peugeot right now (103 carbolite steel is not light). nothing special. 105s, 14 speeds, down tube shifters. 27 in back 700 cxp11 in front. its heavy, but once it gets going its pretty fast. it got me from pittburgh to philla in 3 days. i've riden cheep aluminum (raleigh technium, trek 1000, old cannondale cad3), but i've owned all kinds of steel (schwinn caliente tank, panasonic remote not included tank, schwinn worldsport tank, a 70's trek model unknown with 531 butted, a 70's schwinn chicago with 531 model unknown, a 99 peugeot crazy butted success, and raleigh pro late 60's, and grand sport 70' each with 531 and nervex luggs) steels always been way more gravy and practicle for me. carbon and ti seem a bit too tech. i rode on a friend's dean ti for a couple days last year, it wasn't amazing. i'm strait with reynolds 531, but i've been selling the heavier frames for lighter ones recently. the bikes i kiss before bed each night, and when i leave on the peugeot each morning, are a gios compact pro with dedacciai tubes chrome lugs and ultegra, and the ride to die for: a 77' san cristobal waiting for dura ace upgrade that it deserves... my delema with the dura ace, i wonder if its that much different than the ultegras. i rocked tiagra for the longest, and i dont even think there much different than the ultegras, and there just as tuff as 105s. the gios is from 96' and the most up to date ride i've ever sprung for. i think if i ever make real loot and decide to by brand new, it'll be that mondonico foco.................* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxcarwilly Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 6'0" = 135-150 i fluctuate like crazy. i fucked my metabolism wrestling in high school where as a senior i was 6 feet 119 pounds i was a skinny prick and now i eat and it shows up.... then its gone. my thighs are striated like hell and i love it. its part of the reason i ride my bike is to flex em and look down while my fat ass is online. and as for what my "specialty" joker says sprints he didnt say how long he likes em... i freak it in the one block alleycats i mean i freak it... anything longer and my skinny legs are limp spaghetti. i have the peak performance endurance of a fucking asthmatic goat. though my peak is pretty high from what i hear so if i am just under peak i'm still pacing pretty hard... here it is the one that matters how hards your horse working, resting beats per minute: 42 no coffee after twomochas and a chai im around 55-60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohno*rock Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 this is jan's diet taken from a euro fan sight. you can kind of make most of it out. theres something in there about cyclist sauce? ä Les plaisirs de la table sont la grande faiblesse du sportif. Jan Ullrich apprécie spécialement le chocolat, les gâteaux, les treats de hostess, les sucreries, les bananes. Il aime aussi les galettes de pomme de terre et un plat à base de hareng que sa maman accompagne d'une sauce baptisée "sauce cycliste" , et une due tre bon bons, par le petit Jan qui se passionnait déjà enfant pour le vélo. En outre, le cycliste a un faible pour la cuisine italienne, particulièrement les spaghetti carbonara. Côté boisson, Jan savoure volontiers du bon vin. D'ailleurs, il se passionne pour les grands crus et s'est même fait aménager une cave dans sa maison. Enfin, Jan a ses habitudes dans un restaurant de poissons de Umkirchen (pas loin de Merdingen). this link was also on his page. no joke http://www.twinkies.com/static/whoiscaptain_02.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilush Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 About the Cutter's Ride whoever can make can make it. i know that whoever can make it, you are welcome to stay with us and i'll be cooking some breakfast for you. i would love if everyone can actually meet up and ride out here. it would be fun, but i do understand that people have other plans. i'm just saying it would be fun. on another note...since you guys are talking about heights and shit...i'm 4'11-5'0 and 110 pounds. this is why its so hard for me to find a good sized bike.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
