No that’s not my “”silca frame pump””
No that’s not my “”silca frame pump users guide””
No that’s not my “”silca frame pump, is my bag baby, book””
Qualify, you don’t even have to finish just qualify for Kona and then you can call me a pussie.

Co2 Plight

Sorry to hear about your plight, it is easily overlooked. Perhaps you should send a letter back to the TSA and inform them that there are 2 CO2 cartriges under EVERY SEAT on the airplane attached to a LIFEVEST, hahahahhaha, that should put a bur in their britches.

Cervelo rocks, im a P3 rider and love it.

especially if you're a Steel fan like me!

Don't know all that much about steel but if I had the $$ to blow I think one of these frames would be cool. That, or a custom Serotta. I've wanted one ever since I saw Davis Phinney and the guys of Coors Light riding them.

Roadies???????

Who let the roadies out of the cargo hold, hehehehehehehehe.

lugged steel - can't be beat, i have a Merckx MX leader the ultimate steel frame behind a custom one from Tom Kelloge or Richard Sachs. I think at the end of this year I'm going to head up to toms place outside KABE and have him work me up one of his lugged steel frames.

hey shamrock,

tell your boy bobby J to learn how to stay upright. Thats twice now in a tour tt, for a pro bike rider at his level thats pathetic, its like one of us not being able to land in a 10 knot x-wind. Erich Saunders (sp) is right, (in and interview in velonews) he said, "some guys are good but they just can't drive their bike".

I'll take Sean kelly anyday - now thats a real pro, I so miss the days of him racing.

I ride a Litespeed Tuscany with Ultegra and Krysium Wheels. I could not be any happier with the bike. It's a lot better bike than I am a rider.

I had the bike in a Tricor sports case. Hard case. Travel with it quite often and never any problem.

Hey, Shamrock: From Atlanta? Not the same Shamrocks from the Bicycling Forums?

I have aerobars on the bike, and after getting used to them, I like using them and will use them even on a "casual" ride, but never in a group or when I need to manuever.

Yeah, I saw an article about him a while back when I was visiting my parents in CT. Kind of cool that he's right down the road from where I grew up. (figuratively speaking, CT isn't that big!)

Basso gets booted, Bobby wipes out, and Zabriskie is riding like Rasmussen in the final TT last year. Not a good Tour for CSC. In Bobby's defense though, he did do a large part of the 2004 Tour and won a medal in the Olympics with a broken wrist after Bjarne knocked him over with the team car, so he's not that bad!

Lance might be the greatest Tour de France rider but myself, I'm partial to somebody like Eddy Merckx who raced (and won) throughout the entire season. I give credit to Basso for at least planning on trying the Giro/Tour double (hopefully he'll be cleared) and I think Boonen is doing the rainbow jersey proud, even if he is getting his a.s.s. kicked by Robbie McEwen! I love watching that guy sprint.

No, I'm not familiar with those forums. Is that Bicycling Magazine? Can you send me a link? I'd much rather talk bikes than get drawn into all the arguments here about how much ASA sucks.

 

[Iceman07]

Sure, how about:

Just be forewarned: The Shamrox (cks) has a bit of a reputation over there for being a bit of a "rabble rouser". (I've actually met him, and he is really a great guy, but he does like to yank peoples chains sometimes).

 

[shamrock]

Thanks for the link.

No big deal about the name, I'll just come up with a new one.

Will you roadies ever embrace aero bars and tank top cycling jerseys, hehehehehehehe

 

[Goose Egg]

Longtime MTBer looking to add a road bike to my cycling quiver. Any good suggestions? Looking at a Trek 2300 (105 on the drivetrain) on ebay and Trek 1500 (105/Tiagra I think) down at the shop ---- Partial to aluminum and don't have a lot of $$$ to spend, I am a CFI after all. Have yet to ride the Cannondale or the Specialized, but I'm going to give them a shot too. Really liked the 1500. I know it's not really the high end stuff, but I want to ride... soon.

Any other suggestions?

I'm not sure if I qualify as a roadie yet, but if you are talking about Triathalon, you can just forget it right now. I hate running and I hate swimming. And I wear my bike-induced farmer tan with pride.

I am, however, learning to embrace full-suspension frames and disc brakes. That one's taken me a while.

I'm surprised these $12/hr TSA flunkys didn't just steal it from the case. You're also lucky they didn't "manhandle" your bike and bend something.

Nothing good to say about these guys.

I'm considering the Trek 2300 also but I read somewhere that Trek abandoned US frame construction beginning with the '06 models and there has been some quality control issues with the Chinese purchased frames.
