Nibbs XXVII (Page 59)

If I had a Colnago, I would buy it its own bed.

hehe yay!!! I have NO idea what I would get for a TT bike - th Argons look nice but its geting to the point where too many people have them...

Low 50s is about as cold as I can go with what I have.  Which is good, because we have some really mild winters.

Especially if yuo had this one.... he told me how much its worth and I was stunned... its beautiful!

We did discuss sleeping with your bike and how its a bit hard to get the grease out of the sheets.... lol 

Had to google those up.  Those look SWEET.  Especially that white E-112.

I really only have one bike... the mountain bike is pretty but realistically its got slicks on it so 99% of the time Im going to ride my roadie instead...

Im going to lend the mountain bike out to one of the girls in the tri group which I feel really good about since then it will actually get ridden! 

Yup the white one is where its at... but they are getting to be more and more common so I have to find something else I guess....

Ive decided the next bike has to not just be a good bike but looking at i has to make me want to ride...

Heh... I left the chain mark on my calf last night  We've got new sheets from all the wedding presents, so no biggie!

Oooh!  Scott roadies are so cool, too. 

Bike dreams... sigh.

Lol - nice!!! I knew getting married was good for something... I may have to consider it one day

Then again I also see nothing wrong with a grease stain on the sheets so.....  

Get Zinn and the Art of Triathlon Bikes.

Bike shops are excellent, but the day you shed dependence on them is fantastic.

Oh I TOTALLY understand!!! Yeah if you have a TT Im sure you could do with a roadie to compliment it! 

I never remember calving the ring, but I ALWAYS have the temporary tat when I'm done riding.

I loaded some pics in an album tonight.  First time I ever figured out how to use that feature.

I quite often do to although never remember doing it wither... not always but sometimes... although yesterday I somehow managed to do it pulling he bike in or out of the car so it was in the front of my shin.... that looked weird

QueenZipp - 2008-11-09 1:45 PM I'm tired...we had the 3 extra kids tonight.

I cant imagine being responsible for one for more than a few hours....sounds tiring...

My kids watched the girls. We all watched the baby but he only wanted me to feed him at dinner. I got him o sleep for a while...rocking chair magic stilol works.

Course it worked on me too.

Well its been an exciting time for you Im now checking out the Blue Bicycles webpage because I had never seen them before... I think perhaps you cannot get there here in Aus...

American made. Small company...only one shop in town carries them and I can see why. I was doing 19 mph without much effort this afternoon. Jen and Kristen really have to watch out next year since I'm going bike focused for the winter.

Thats right - you are doing the Bike Focus plan too arent you?

sure thing

I hope you are sticking to it more closely than I am.... I seem to be taking it as a guide rather than something set in stone

barqhead - 2008-11-09 2:05 PM Ooo. A bike discussion. I'm looking at Kuota, Orbea, Cannondale and Scott for a road bike. I don't like being down to only 1 bike!

I really only have one bike... the mountain bike is pretty but realistically its got slicks on it so 99% of the time Im going to ride my roadie instead...

I sold both my mtn bike and my roadie earlier this year. I've been riding the heck out of my TT bike and now it needs to go into the shop for a nice, winter overhaul, but I can't deal with being bikeless!

Oh I TOTALLY understand!!! Yeah if you have a TT Im sure you could do with a roadie to compliment it!

It would stop some of the nasty looks I get on group rides Nah. Nobody has been rude. I kind of like it because the roadies give me a wide berth and don't yell at me when I do something odd like freak out in the double paceline. The TT bike is kind of like a sign. "Beware. Triathlete. Does not know what she is doing in a pack"

I got buzzed by a pack riding today... although they were great and gave me heaps of warning - one of them even yelled good morning as they went past..

All I was thinking... gimme a few months to get my fitness back then Im joining your cycle group

I'll have to remember that sometime when I try a group ride
