cool Should we start referring to your bike as The Stalker?! Hard to say, since we don't have a picture of it Speaking of which: could this newer pic of my ride with the fast red bar tape and nicer background be exchanged for the old pic? Thanks! |

Science Nerd 28760 Redwood City, California | Subject: RE: Mad Mutant Manatee Mentors 4--CLOSED I ran 26 minutes and 20 seconds yesterday as my Boston run. I also signed up for a 10k on 5/5. They decided to make the shirts blue and yellow this year and are encouraging everyone to wear their race shirts in solidarity to Boston. |

I have a Giant Avail 1 which is the women's version of the Defy, being the lower model it has a mixture of Sora and Tiagra components on it. The gearing is Tiagra and while it isn't supa smooth it works well enough for this BOP girl. Maybe if I ever do a HIM I will look at upgrading, but I got to finish studying before I can't even think about that. Come on Stacey! That makes way too much sense! Sounds obvious but the bike shop had neither in stock in my size (extra midget), so i could only test their slightly more exotic bigger brothers which use the same frame but different components and colour schemes. Ultimately i do have to look at price as i will also have to add a few goodies/necessities such as trip comuter and water bottles and poss tri bars so here is the breakdown of actual cost to me including the relevent staff discount. Excluding my add ons. Focus 2.0 SL with Ultegra £568 Focus 3.0 SL with 105 set up £511 Giant Defy 1 with 105 set up £500 Giant Defy 2 with Tiagra £400 My target was £400 but the Defy 1 is looking good value now i have them all written down like this. Who needs a water bottle anyway? I like having the best components you can get. I'm also curious if there is a difference between the two different frames. |

While I agree with you that I'd go with 105 or Ultegra, given the choice, if the frame doesn't fit, that can only be fixed so much and if it's uncomfortable, well, you have yourself a £500 cloths rack. Both frames are aluminum and the Focus has a carbon fork. The Focus has an FSA Gossamer and the Giant has a Shimano R565 crankset. Both are 50/34 (compact). |

And none of that is going to happen for a while because some really smart people need time to get the answers. Frustrating, but it is the process. It could just be semantics -- "Conflicting reports emerged this afternoon about whether a person had been taken into custody in the deadly terror bombings that struck at the Boston Marathon finish line on Monday. "While a source told the Globe that a person had been taken into custody and other news organizations reported the same, based on their own sources, the US attorney’s office and Boston police issued statements saying no one had been arrested." I just want them to get the right people the first time (no Richard Jewel)

And none of that is going to happen for a while because some really smart people need time to get the answers. Frustrating, but it is the process. Definitely. FBI says no one is in custody. Lots of misinformation coming from all directions. Law enforcement is being very careful with everything they do, you can't rush this. We all want some answers but for now we need to be patient and focus on praying for the victims and doing whatever else we can to keeping making this world a decent place to live. |
