lots of stuff, but T snipped it all

Well, I've written lots over the 6 months or so on my Learsport 8000
(model down from the one you're looking at) which I use as a commuter and
for training sessions where I leave my bike somewhere locked up (because
my race bike is too beautiful to do that too). It's a great bike, I've
left reflectors on it and attached a bell and all that tacky stuff. The
geometry wasn't as nice as my Felt F50 so I bought a straight seatpost,
got a Woodman carbon one because the compact frame geometry wasn't quite
so comfortable, and it came with a men's saddle on it so I had that
replaced. I really like it except probably if I had more money I would
replace the pedals, because they're just not as reliable as my miche
pedals. Once I was going up a hill and it unclipped on me, and on a couple
of occasions I've had more trouble clicking out than I do with my miche
pedals. If you've got small hands you might also find the slant on the
drops puts you further back from the shifters than you'd like. Handles
well, no problems and the components are awesome.

Tamyka, if you were as smart as you think you are you would get into
recumbents and forget about uprights. But hey, you are a genius, so figure
out how to get comfy on an upright. Once you have got it figured out, you
will be ready for the grave. Trust me on this. There is no way a woman is
ever going to get comfy on an upright bicycle. Basically, our posteriors
(and indeed out whole bodies) were designed for seats, not saddles. Try to
wise up why don't you?

Most men are into being macho and are too stupid to know that it is possible
to ride a bicycle and to also be perfectly comfortable while doing so. Why
don't you get smart and get a recumbent and then come over to ARBR where you
will be appreciated. I have scared off most of the women here but I think
you show some promise as having a bit of guts and moxy.

You also need to forget about all that training crap. Don't you know that
men like women with nice feminine curves and do not care for athletic types
at all. And yes, you can be healthy without killing yourself with exercise.
Ride your bike for the pleasure of it. Any other reason is crazy.

I never said how smart I thought I was. I think that was Marty. All
three of my bikes are comfortable. However, I do prefer running.

As for those curves, you clearly didn't see those circus photos the
others did. As a general rule, all female cyclists are proud of their
curves. I will not bore you with millions of references as to why
exercise is not killing me. Finally, I do ride my bike because I enjoy
it. I do not participate in cycling races unless the government pays me
to. Sim for research.

As long as you are doing whatever you are doing in the realm of sport for
enjoyment you are OK. But I know so many women who become obsessed by a
sport that they seem to lose all perspective. Men are just stupid enough to
get taken in by all sorts of sports nonsense, but women should always have
more sense than to get bamboozled by cycling, running, swimming or whatever.
Moderation is the key to just about everything in life. But by and large, I
do not think much about racing of any kind. It is essentially a childish
thing and something that only a child should take any delight in.

The above are no doubt the words of somebody that never won anything.
Except for the contest for the person taking himself too seriously that is..

Oh Tamyka of the mighty T, cats cause some allergies. My apologies for my rude dip**** post. I am basically a very sick person and I am doomed to die despite all my lard ass physical exertions
at the keyboard. I need to be thinking about whether I want to be donated to science or cremated when I have my heart attack from obesity. I must forget all about life enhancement I am way beyond that.

I will always get a bit depressed as that is my true life situation. All the meaningless posts in the world won't save me. I will resign myself to death and oblivion.

My apologies.

****ing Ed Gin! What a Dip****! Hey Ed Gin - why don't you go **** yourself
instead of posting your God Damn nonsense, you stupid son of a bitch. No one
on ARBR is ever going to buy your ****ing God Damn NoCom bike. I will see to
that, you fat Chinese son of bitch.

Get your own web site, you God Damn moron! If you don't I am going to start
posting original threads about you, you imbecilic asshole. Why don't you
take your ****ing NoCom bike and ram it up your ass, you slant-eyed *******.
God, I know what you look like and you are disgusting and revolting. You
need to kill yourself and thereby purify the earth of your loathsome
presence. You are nothing but an ugly beast. No one here on ARBR gives a
**** about your ****ing NoCom bike. Why don't you take your bike and ram it
up your ass, you supreme dork and jerk.

Zipp 300 Carbon Cranks are the Fastest Cranks in the Known Uninverse. Only 397 grams with rings. These are the cranks that will make your bike fast but not as fast as a NoCom.

Warning if you are a fat slob or cheap ******* do not bother buying Zipp 300 Carbon Cranks. They are expensive, worth every penny and are reserved for the best of the best.
