^ I would agree. I'm pretty sure my Saris Bones would fit over the spoiler on my wife's '04 Accord. I can try it out tonight if you want. Me: rode to work for the first time. It was probably around 40F or so when I left. Overdressed a bit and got slightly warm. Didn't get hit by anyone, so that's a good thing (depending upon perspective ), but will need to tweak the route slightly. Overall the route worked well. A little over 8 miles, so not that far.

Didn't go on the Saturday morning ride of 33 miles that I had been invited to. Got up in time, but just felt wiped out so went back to bed Looked like they had a good time though (albeit at 34 degrees). Would have been an hour drive each way. Did do 16 miles yesterday, which kinda wiped me out. Must be a real wuss It was pretty windy though.

Makes me sad and angrier every time I see a picture of that poor kid that died. sigh

Thats what, 31 miles? In a group, I would think you should be able to do that. I'm supposed to go do a ~30 mile ride on Saturday with some peeps from bikeforums. Would be around 34-36 F starting, high is only supposed to be 50 for the day, but light wind, so we'll see I have only done about 15 miles for the longest ride so far since winter seems to be hanging around.

Same. A waterproof Brooks would be sweet!

Always liked watching NFL games with him and John Madden doing the play by play. Much preferable to Cosell, Meredith, etc., at least for me. Not mentioned in a couple of articles was his announcing of the Masters golf tournament for 20+ years, always (IIRC) with Ken Venturi. RIP...

Nephew had finished an hour before, but did hear them... didn't know what it was. Glad your sister is fine Nate!

shit... my nephew is running in it.

^ I think it is the thrill of the build... a similar question was asked recently on thepaceline

If those don't work, you could try some Power Bands? I've never used them, but I have seen them recommended.

Agree with Parris... the frame is the most important part, then the components. I would guess somewhere in the $250-$350 range. Miele's aren't particularly in demand. I don't know if you posted pics in your original post or not. Drive side pics if you do.

Seems like I heard that after the Gunnar... just sayin'

Nice Brent! Xavier looks like he's into it. And nice also Nate. Me: was having a hard time getting motivated to ride yesterday (first really nice day mid 50s, light wind). Finally got out and did 13 miles with a hill repeat. Much less than the 25+ I had planned on. Just felt lazy and lethargic all day.

Hope your niece is OK Ken. Going down at that speed would suck.

Happy Birthday!

Surprised from those Kirk pics that he got the lugs cleaned up that nicely from the brazing/silver solder that quickly. Looking real good!

Nothing in the Recent documents list in Word?

You can't lower the stem to achieve the same thing? I would guess not being threadless, unless you have spacers in there?
-
Gene, You can always throw a pair of khaki or other shorts on over the biking shorts (lycra). You might like the compression from them as well. Chris

This it? And very cool Vicki. Neat to see what kinda jigs a great builder like Dave has rigged up to hold everything in alignment while brazing! Nice fork! Would look right at home on my bike
-
Have you guys looked at the Soma Hwy 1 bars? I guess you are looking for a deeper drop Raffy, so those probably won't do it. Seem to be popular with a lot of people, particularly with ergos/brifters.
