A major rule at Cafe Roubaix is don’t be a douchebag. And if some money spilling “yuppie” (are they even called yppies anymore? So 1992.) wants to spend a little bit of their well earned cash on some of my Fabitalia products, I am happy to help them out. … »

@G’rilla Exactamondo! Although, I just stock the FMBs. They win P-R and are the best tubbies in the world. I still can’t get over the Graveur »
Franktard! That is simply an outstanding ride! I am twisted between proud peacock and humble tortoise in the range of emotions. That you choose to grace the drop-outs with my wheels is, well humbling but exciting. VF is truly a stunner and not surprisingl… »

@thebaron Yes it is. It’s all about looking PRO! That said, it descends just like the YouTube says it should! The wheels are a feathery 1200ish grams. You can really feel the power of the stroke on the up hill. »

@G’rilla What is the definition of Master under the 500m record? I am able to nail a kilo once in a while (or at least the first 750m before the chute deploys….) »
@Hashola What is with the low balling? Has Frank ever done a 40km TT? Probably not, but I would bet he could suffer that in under an hour, thus, regardless of the banking or trickiness of the ‘drome and despite his complete lack of experience on a ‘drom… »
@scaler911 What @scaler911 said. The dragging of the body thing works too. »
@Cantona B1 Group is the distributor for Canada. I just have the Bond and the RB1K as demo bikes for now. The supply chain (read: delivery) on Cipos can be tardy, but I can sell to anyone I want to. As a newer shop this is partly an experiment too. They r… »
@cantona @DerHoggz you have to earn the STDs yourself. »
Who has the Cipo you are looking at? Just curious. »
@snoov my pleasure. Good to hear it worked out for you. @cantona Took the Bond out for the shop ride this morning (but I was properly in a merino wool jersey in honour of The Prophet) and she handled beautifully. The RB1K and RB800 are pure race machines… »
