I see the sender is too cowardly to identify him/herself, and is hiding
behind a remailer.

Trolls will never directly engage an honest man because they are
cowards and do not have the courage of their convictions.

As a white male, I find that extremely insulting. I am getting really
tired of you racist trolls coming into this forum and ruining our
fruitful exchange of useful information. You have been added to my

A book I read said he had worn them before, but cut them off before
the olympic trials--presumably to get more aero.

One nice thing with these NGs is that you never know who is of what color
(Fortunately we don't have yet NGs like rec.bicycles.misc.black or
rec.bicycles.misc.white). Maybe "Lance" doesn't realize that all other
contributors to this NG might actually be black ?

Of course all he would have to do is go over to Ken Papai's photo page
and scope out the crew.

I'm white, sort of, partially. Ken is as black as they come. John
isn't nearly black enough. And Carl is mighty white.

From reading Lance's initial post, it is quite apparent to me that
there is a great deal which he doesn't realize.

And my bad... since I moved a few URI's around and need to get the
photos back in synch on
http://www.kenpapai.com/cycling/rbr/rbrfaces.html
about 50% of image links are broken, but I should be fixing that over
the long upcoming 3-day weekend.
