This is Team Discovery rider George Hincapie and his wife, who in her last profession got paid to stand around, look hot, and kiss sweaty bike riders.

If this is what you get for being gay... sign me the F up.

Although most of the time I'm on my road bike I am gay in that I am happy... nothing about it makes me feel hhhhhhomosexual... but gay? Sure. All the time.

Don't take Bling (Paul) too seriously.

He certainly doesn't take himself too seriously.

I've certainly never been accused of taking anything seriously...

Well. First time for everything I guess.

Did you notice that SJR's bike had a seatpost but no seat? :blink:


Just kidding, damn this guy mounted my ski bindings in a dark bar and he had trouble seeing the settings. Bindings are perfect, he's cool.

road:
06' specialized Transition Expert. i havent done a tri yet, but i purchased the bike hoping that after some training having this bike already will give the the added motivation to start races.
-Time Impact Pedels
- Carnac Shoes with graphite/carbon sole
- Polar CS200 trip compuer with cadence+ heartrate.. all wireless (this thing is the BEST purchase i have EVER made for my bike!!) it allows you to send all the data from your ride to the computer where it lays everything out for you, GREAT TOOL!
currently this bike has shimano 105 components.. but they have worked flawlessly for the past year,but considering either upgrading everything to either Ultegra of DuraAce OR getting some Mavic rims..unsure of which upgrade to take, right now my wallet has me by the balls.
- upgrading to most likely the secialized Toupe seat within the week


Mountain:
00' Giant Warp DS2 V-brakes.. this think has been through some serious single track, and has taken quite a beeting. I just threw on some big ol' studded platform pedals and she rides prety good still. A little creaky on climbs, but its holding together better then i imagined, making it difficult for me to devote the money needed for a good upgraded replacement.

Nice looking bike. Those lefty's still freak me out though. :)

Yeah, it gets a lot of odd looks and silly comments.
"Your fork is broken, where's the rest of your fork, why the hell did they make it like that, etc"

Its actually a great shock/steering setup in my opinion, especially for heavy riders. Its got good travel, and is stiff. I am honestly a little worried about serious DH abuse long term, but I've had no problems w/it so far.

Best of all, you don't need to take the wheel off to change a tube/tire!
