    Default Version 2.0

    Rolled up to the local coffee shop. The best part was trying to snap a picture using the phone while walking past without looking like I was stopping to look at the thing.

    I'm gettin' a kick out of the Swiss flag on the first one. Nice try.

    The hardest part of the first one was to not burst into laughter when I was walking past trying to take a stealth picture. I was cracking myself up.

    I had totally forgot about those Mike Burrows designed Giants.

    What were they thinking?

    I wish I'd taken my phone out to lunch today. Our tube/metro system was not running today so all the nodders appeared there were a few thousand bikes in the area and most of them were odd in some way. Tommorow I'm going hunting.

    Properly set up, that Giant is probably really fast. Meaning without the triple.

    You could have just said:
    "...Whoa! That is the absolute COOLEST aerodynamic tri-bike I've ever seen!
    Mind if I snap a couple of pictures to show my family? Christmas is just around the corner..."


    Then you could have ensured the chain was properly in the smallest chainring in front and the largest cog on the rear + any rear waterbottle cages filled. ;-)

    What's wrong with that Serotta? Looks like a pretty standard triathlon bike to me.

    I have a Russian Ti bike, too...one of the GVH Bikes Gary V Titanio framesets. It's a painted Ti bike, which covers up the toothpaste welding, but it's a surprisingly fun bike to ride, without some of the flakiness that most of the Russian Ti has been rumored to exhibit.

    It's pretty, too, as long as you don't really examine the welds. They're obviously functional, but were done by blind epileptics while riding a roller coaster.

    That said, I also own a Moots and a Roark. Thus, the Russian Ti doesn't get ridden. Of course, none of these are as "pretty" as this one....


    Wow. Just wow.

    Epic!

    It hits every mark. The aero (?) wedges put it over the top. I fucking love it. Rock out with your cockout!

    I think you need to figure out a way to get some fenders and some racks on there to make it complete.

    Needs a Bento Box, tovarich.

    Mom: He was very sickly until he started riding around on that bicycle.


    Dad: Yeah... well... now his body's fine, but his mind is gone.
