I lived with mommy then, and she made me eat less suck.

Frozen peanut butter and jelly?

[Ginger0]

I hate all of you.

[mrbaggio]

I hate all of you.

No, your mother hated you.

[JackoliciousLegs]

That Trek is nice stuff. The OCLV bikes have been in development for a while. You'll get nicer kit on that Felt, because you pay the Lance Premium for a Trek. The Trek also looks like it's been ridden by a yuppie.

[JackoliciousLegs]

Trek is back up. Do I need/want a carbon bike? They dropped the price to $1200.

Components are still a notch below the Felt... and the Felt is every bit as stiff. Monocoque carbon is just bling. Can't go wrong either way, though.

[JackoliciousLegs]

If there isn't a huge difference, I'll probably go Felt. I like the idea of having 2 years free maintenance.

[.RJ]

I'm a trek fanboi... and I'd buy the felt. Free fit/service, better components.

[JackoliciousLegs]

I took your advice... the bike feels GREAT.

[JackoliciousLegs]

And yes, upon closer inspection, that is a chip near the rear derailleur. Ugh.

[Ginger0]

LOL - where?

Congrats, that's a pretty lookin' bike, and it should definitely give you good service. I'll have to make sure I have a bicycle [with me] next time I come over to the left coast so that we can go riding.

[Mike]

LOL - where?

right above the rear derailleur's cable stop.

bikes for silly tall people always look so funny

in other news, i saw one of these in the bike shop the other day... easily one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen in person. the picture does it very little justice:



i think my next [road] bike will have to be italian.

[.RJ]

Whats with the funny looking squigly tubes?

Does it come with matching gear? (guys I see on the trail on really expensive bikes always have matching gear)

[Ginger0]

I still don't see it... but then again, my Serotta is rattlecan black, and the shifters have been missing their decorative front plates for 5 years.

I've always wanted me a Pinarello.. igh:

[Mike]

Whats with the funny looking squigly tubes?

don't know, don't care... if i were rich, i'd have squiggly tubes. i think conte's was selling it for $8500.

[.RJ]

$8500.

hock: :!: :?:

[Evan]

for that money, you could have like 458 old busted honda motorcycles.

[Mike]

$8500.

hock: :!: :?:

much the same as a ferrari being 4x (or more) expensive than something that is already perfectly fine.

[JackoliciousLegs]

lol at evan's pic. Going out for my first commute on it. Oh, and I'm thinking of rattlecanning it..
