Sounds like a great time for the DC folks. I just did a 40 miler with some Florida "hills" and some lovely headwinds. I felt great but I am fucking exhausted. Those headwinds really take a lot out of you especially when you're riding solo.

Awesome Nate! I wish my LBSs here were that nice. If they were I'd buy more shit from them instead of over the internet.

Nice Justin!

I get where you're coming from, I'm just at the opposite side of the fence. I think he's a real running back and even better, he's a bruiser who can catch the ball. Cleveland is just so horrible even Peterson would suffer in that offense. JMO, of course.

Got it. It's the cross-cassette to cross-RD compatibility that just happened but the cassettes still need their respective freehubs.

I disagree. They will get a late 1st round pick and who knows who that will be and what value that will provide. OTOH, the Colts will get a real running back that will open up the passing game more than Bradshaw, Ballard, etc.

So Campy cassettes will still need Campy splined freehubs and SRAM/Shimano their own too right?

The top tube on the 54 is 1cm longer which means that with the same reach, there is more setback, correct? Plus the HT on the 54 is 2cm taller which may work for or against you, Justin.

Belated Happy Birthday Stretch!

Happy Birthday Pak!!!

I'm not sure if anyone except Mike and I were watching the past 3 weeks but I gotta say: the 2013 Vuelta a Espana is the best race of 2013! The Giro and TdF were nothing compared to the Vuelta.

That's gotta be fake.....$1k for a current model frame that's $5,300 new? Them Chinese make a lot of fake Pinarellos from what I hear.

RIP

^x3 Nate! Glad you had a great time!

Triple eww. Did you have to get up at 6am to slog through the swamp? If so quadruple eww.

Happy Birthday!

Right up there with you Chris, I need to actually drink water during the day which I forget to do more often than not. Lost 2 lbs (weighing myself before breakfast so the loss is actually more) just riding 21 miles and I already drank around 32 ounces during the ride.

Not a sarcastic question but how does one get a detailed/real fitting with no bike?

I'm thinking Justin is more of a 52-54 max size guy than 56. That way he can run decent drop + a realistic (ie non-shorty) stem.

So per the crotch book jam method, Justin's bike size is a 47.47?

Thanks Chris but as much as I'd like a power meter, it'll be financially irresponsible to buy one right now. GLWS.

Ugh, I ride 170mm.

What crank length, Chris?

Damn for a second there I thought he meant "dick"!

There's a chat in the draft window, we can also chat there.
