yeah...but you have to think of the future don't you?
a free set of pads that is going to cover your front and rear wheels might not get you covered for life... RM5.2k is cheap without even looking at what tires is mounted on the wheel... |

QUOTE(mrjgx @ Feb 22 2013, 03:45 PM) Butthead dont have Strava? even Lance Armstrong have it now...that's the only way he can compete with other cyclists. He might be sniping other KOMs as well, and he'll take em all with EPO i am security paranoid... i don't want to stay connected with the world... always afraid that US might laser paint my ass and fly some tomahawks in my direction... |

QUOTE(mrjgx @ Feb 23 2013, 06:12 AM) I know the saying, the wind is your friend, it'll make you stronger. But I just hate it nothing beats physically hopping on one to try it out Anyway for a 173cm guy, what sizes of bike frame I should be riding with? 52? Or should I get a smaller..say 49? and if for the pro "mau gaya tak mau nyawa look" i say the 49 irregardless of height...100mm ht slammed to the zs internal hs bearing cover is gonna give you massive bar drop... word of advise, jus start saving money for the chiropractor This post has been edited by butthead: Feb 23 2013, 06:37 AM |

QUOTE(mrjgx @ Feb 23 2013, 12:30 PM) truth be told, I have once forgotten to stop my Strava after my ride session finished and drove home to Cheras via DUKE highway from UIA exit..i got KOM on the highway stretch...when someone sniped it down..probably not with a bike might be seating too far forward, maybeamazing!  Well I want the look  but all bike shop I went will suggest a 52 frame for me. Btw, when riding on the drop, can you guys use the up stroke? In my case it's hard to get the upstroke but I can do it easily if riding on the hood. What's the cause eh? prolly my seatpost is too low? |

QUOTE(lot101 @ Feb 23 2013, 12:06 PM) That being so, a 'pro' fitted me into a 58cm frame which I put in the store room for more then 15 years after riding it a few km's. the 58cm of 15 years ago is blindingly huge... can't imagine how it can be ridden unless you are the hulk |

QUOTE(mrjgx @ Feb 23 2013, 03:53 PM) Why the rest of the dopers get an easy way out with minimum punishment? bankruptcy, unlikely.. he has 100's of million now i think...Lance Armstrong going to a bankruptcy and jailed time perhaps? and SCA Promotions is only suing him for returning 12 million of bonuses received and maybe a bit more for legal fees and interests... an Floyd's blow whistle case could rack up 30million... all in all 50 mil should settle this 2 cases unless some other strange ones pop up... would easily leave him with 50 million... which is no small amount for you and me... heck, can even consider not working and still buy every s-work tarmac variations that spez launches until the day we get buried 6 feet under...
