I like steel over carbon because the weight is not an issue since I am carrying a lot more excess mass on me than on the bike. I also like the durability of the steel frame. I also hated having to be so careful with the carbon frame lest I bump it wrongs over tighten something and crack the frame. I think I may rebuild my old Panasonic touring bike into a lighter recreational bike this summer. Sounds like a great father-son project.

Happy Birthday!

We are in the middle of refi right now through our credit union. They approached us and so far it has been pretty painless. We'll see how it ends. As far as bikes, having owned and ridden steel, aluminum and carbon framed bikes, I only still own and ride two steel frames. Those are both very nice bikes Chris and Vicki. Makes me want to ride more.

I hope the second episode is better than the first.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Tannoy

I heard that the liquid diarrhea makes the LCD2 sound exceptionally smoooooth.

Well I'm going to be the monkey-in-the-wrench on this one. I definitely preferred John's slutty LCD2s with a 307A based BA compared to a GSX.

I love Dvrs.

Glad you enjoyed it. I must call it up at least once a month since we do not have any good bartenders this far south of Chicago.

So good we finished them off tonight, plus we could eat outside since it was in the 80s today.

That is just evil. I have been pricing shoes and pedals all day. That looks like a nice ride Nate.

Sorry Antonio, I missed your post. Al is of course is correct. I like this video as it is a very traditional Sazerac.

^^^^ Congrat!

Jut finished some jalapeño bratwursts and pork burgers on the grill. Both made with free-range pork.

^^^ Cool. If you see McGarret, tell him I said hi.

Heh. I was thinking the same thing. Nice job!

Got tired of the whole special (read expensive) shoes that can be used only for cycling. Since I only ride for fun and exercise now I put back on the original pedals and toe clips about 10 years ago and never looked back. Now I can cycle with any shoes I want. Maybe when Keen develops cycling sandals I will reconsider . The bicycle is hot though and it looks like it will be a sweet ride. Congrat Vicki.

^^^ This. That was a wonderful story Vicki. Congrats on the bike. Can't wait to see pictures of it.

Happy Birthday Doug!

Yep. That and Hot Dougs.

Happy Birthday Old Bean! I will toast you later this evening as water seems a bit weak for a toast.

Yeah, sorry. The KGSS is a good start but you should really here them on a BHSE. The qualification though makes all the difference as well as perspective. I certainly agree that compared to the HD800 the OII is dark but then again compared to the OII the HD800 is painfully bright, from my perspective.

Cushion position effects are pretty dramatic with the O2 also.

Yeah, but you're a treblehead.

The 007 MK I is neither dark nor laid-back when appropriately amped.
