Maybe I’ll go electronic when it trickles down to 105 level. I dont know, man. I love nice stuff, but seriously the 105/Rival/Centaur type tier of stuff works so well in my limited experience. I’m fat so saving a pound or so on 105 vs DA isn’t worth it … »

@Erik I was watching highlights with my 3 year old and she went into fits when she saw that chair: “I have that chair, I have that chair! It’s up in my dollhouse!” »

Crap, Gianni, if we all escaped from New England like you who would be left to ride cracked roads in frigid weather.I mean it is 3 degrees and rainy here this morning. I will now go comfort myself in a vat of maple syrup. »

It will likely end, and it is quite early, but love pulling on the VSP pink jersey even for a second or so. Hooray for the interwebz! »

As far as di2 goes, can you just slap it on a standard frame or are there special mods that’d have to be done? »
Throw my hat in the ring with the CAAD love. I have a CAAD 10 105, really likey. There are certainly nicer (fancier) bikes, but the dollar to performance ratio seems hard to beat in my opinion. I guess I feel the same about the 105 gear, alot of function … »

@mouse That’s true, and I say ride what you like, mate. I’m not a high cadence guy, more of a slogger. But that being said, I’m working on foot speed/cadence and with more teeth that will be fastest (but obviously still fat and slow). For me, if I’m g… »
http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/article/retro-pro-bike-marco-pantanis-1998-bianchi-mega-pro-xl-24877/ I enjoyed looking into the details Pantani’s bike, especially his measurements. Note on the discussion of cranksets Pantani rode a 54/44! »

@paolo Flemish Compact // A 53×39 Chainset. Training in winter on your usual hardman chainset of 56×42 is bad for your knees. Changing to a Flemish Compact during VVinter will help spare them. Or, as Museeuw said, “I don’t like the 50T on compacts. It i… »
@mouse I agee, Mouse, it’s not a manhood thing, simply: more teeth= more faster= more better. I was searching for a compact as an answer to my fatness and that is a ball check situation. »
Crap, Frank…..it’s a great article, man. I’m convicted because I sheepishly was shopping for compact crank recently. This article was timely, loved ”pain and climbing are inseperable”. I thusly confess my sin, will keep the standard crank, HTFU and… »

@VbyV That’s because he’s from New Hampshire (I’m biased by living here too). »
Passista….I love it and a new term to me, thanks Gianni. For current riders, I was thinking of Lotto’s Adam Hansen…..completed all three grand tours last year (only 32nd person in cycling history), rode a long breakaway (failed to finish it off with … »
Wow, cheers to all who shared stories. You are all quite inspiring and frankly, I’m proud to be a member of this community. I’m still battling my demons daily. And at the risk of offending Sandy (I’m kidding) I want to encourage all of you to keep telli… »
