@Ron Thanks Ron, and congrats on the anniv. »
@scaler911 Thanks. No secrets, it’s getting Record 11 (except a Chorus FD, don’t see the point of a carbon FD plate), my Nemesis wheel set, 3T Rotundos, fi'zi:k saddle and seat pin. @scaler911 Careful, you might be insulting @Marcus by excluding him… »
@xyxax Good one. I’ve had to up my fluid intake because of all the drooling I have been doing this evening. »
@Mikael Liddy Balance bike, and don’t let him anywhere near training wheels, and you’ll have a promising Pedalwan. »
@frank Thanks. Looking forward to getting a copy of the book in! »
It is considered highly auspicious to have the frame builder ship out your frame on Festum Propetae. »
I’ve just got word that my frame is back from paint and will be shipped tomorrow or possibly even today! As for riding, etc. I observed the holiday over the weekend with some good rides, Rule #33 observance, and a cleansing of the steed. »

fucking awesome franky boy VLVV. »
Looking good! »

@Gianni You can’t go wrong with Merckx. How big are you? If you are normal I bet you can find a Merckx Corsa that will work for you. A Merckx MX Leader is revered for the larger rider but they have a cultish following and you won’t find one at your p… »

@Spun Up Learn about the different types and grades of tubesets. If you find bikes that might be of interest, post them up here for comments. You should be able to find something in your price range. The geometries were simpler and more standard back t… »

Obviously the Keepers need to place the cards for sale so the rest of us may employ them in similar fashion. »

@xyxax If it’s carbon you are wanting the custom list is probably pretty short. Not sure if they do level top tubes, but you should check out Crumpton and Carl Strong. If a builder you are interested in has a “Smoked Out” on Velocipede Salon (http://www… »
@G’rilla It would be rather harsh, but a graphic showing how far behind Merckx’s pace our hero is at a given moment? »
