ryoder 1,391 #3 December 12, 2010 1. I like Thomsons. 2. I need a zero-setback post in order to make a non-custom frame fit my odd proportions. 3.

If you've ever descended at 45mph while getting hammered by a gusty 30mph+ sidewind, you would understand why we avoid baggy clothing, and want the tightest fit possible."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

Does a 4600 mile round trip on the freeway count? Nope, sorry, I can;t figure that one out! It is always interesting when we go to the races, they hold cross country on Saturday, Spandex everywhere, and riders that will stop and pee anyplace they are at the moment!..(never figured that part out)The on Sunday, the baggy clothes come out, (many of them the same riders) for Downhill!

(my dad and I used to get yelled at for rebuilding carbs on the dining room table) 500 lbs HAS to be a Sporty - that's lightweight for a Harley.

Remster 24 #20 December 13, 2010 Quote What frame is that? That's the saddest part: he got a Calfee, but didn't get a bamboo one!!!!! Seriously, Calfee was at the El Tour expo (As usual) a couple weeks ago and had some awesome looking bikes on display... Including some featherlite carbons with an amazing finish on them.... They even re-designed the battery pod for the Dura Ace electronic gruppo and fit the improved battery in the seat post. They also have couplers available on their frames. Somewhat interesting on regular road bikes, but pretty damm interesting on tandems.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was a company making Bambo frames that wanted my son to jump one for photo's in Utah.(they wanted to enter the downhill market) ..he was afraid it would shatter , so turned them down....I wish he had atleast tried it, starting small, then work up! BUT, he has broke many frames, (5) not many can take what he does! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
