These are brand new in the box, completely unused. Tried then on standing on the carpet in the living room. Reason for selling: Too stiff for a 67 year old skier of my limited strength and ability. It's not that they're particularly stiff boots, but I need game improvement tools. Features...

If you sleep with her, are thrilled with her, and don't know or care about her weight, she loves you, too. :wink:

I second that emotion. In fact, I'm getting some of those Pearl Izumi "AmFib" bib tights that have the double wind protection layer in front. IO also wear rubber surgical gloves under the full finger bike gloves.

I was saying that the one I'm buying at less than half the price of the Orca is 15% STIFFER in the frame than the Orca frame. I'm not complaining!:grin: Stiffer is BETTER! I actually made the choice based on the stiffer, lighter Krsyrium wheels, though. All of the Orbea Onix models have the...

Of course, in the real world, there's good news and bad news. The good news is that I ordered the 2007 Orbea Onix TDF with Ultegra components and Kysrium wheels. The bad news is that it's out of stock in my size [54] and won't be here for two or three weeks. By the way, did you know that the...

Earl's has an excellent national reputation and has computerized fitting. They've spent gobs of time with me already. They fit the bike at and after purchase over the course of a year. I'm ready.They're ready. The roads will be rideable for quite a while here and even longer elsewhere (the...

Final answer: Sometime down the road, perhaps, I'll work with Earl's on putting together a Seven Cycles ti roadie. For now though, here's the scoop: I will not get the Orbea Onix TDE unless they'll swap out the wheels for Kysrium, pre-purchase. The TDE has Mavic Askium wheels and the TDF has...

AHM, the Tuscany has 3/2.5. Any thouhgts on that?

I'll check this out, AHM. The bike you recommend cost almost a grand more than what I'm considering, but I'll check out the Litespeed wed site again. I found the full carbon Orbea Onix to be very comfortavle compared to what I've been riding (Bianchi Volpe) and maybe a thousand times more...

Today, I was in gear whore heaven. Demoed a bunch of bikes supported by a very, very patient and knowledgeable staff at Earl's Bicycle and Fitness in South Burlington, Vermont. All that horse hockey about the bike not holding me back? Horse hockey! I had a wonderful time and found huge...

Riding in the dark has lost its luster. On the other hand, if the pavement is clear, I don't care about the cold, as long as it's in daylight.

ti! Looks beautiful! Must have set you back a few shekels! In my dreams, I will have a custom ti bike. For now, carbon is where I'm going. Give us the details! Total weight as shown? Standard or compact crank? Components? ti or carbon fork?

Not nearly as much as I'd like. Off to the pah-tee. More later.

Gotta get into my Tour de Cure bike duds for a costume party. It's not the duds that are the costume - it's what will be on top of that. More later. TTFN and AMF

Well, I'll step up to the plate and pick that bone: Failing properly to time the $h!t can make a few miles to the next Porta Potty feel like an eternity. Also, exhaling - VERY important. Try inhaling without it.
