How many bikes do you have?

Why not sell that whole mess and get yourself
something like an 52cm Pinarello in team Fasso
Bortolo colors?

Mr. Mazzoleni, did you ever see my post in rbr, entitled "Style
Question for Fabrizio wrt Alexandre Vinokourov"? This post deals
directly with the team Fasso Bortolo colors and Vinokourov's hair, and
desperately needs your input.

Warm Regards,

Oh oh! "Mr. Mazzoleni"!

Sounds like maybe you're in trouble for that comment!

I currently have 1 1/2.

The 1 is a Schwinn Voyager which I use for touring and club rides.

The 1/2 is the remains (components) of my Sh. Sierra MTB. The dropout
broke, and since repairing it cost more than what I paid for the frame
new, I decided to replace and, it seems, upgrade as well.

I am now awaiting delivery of a Rocky Mountain Reaper frame that will
wear these parts and eventually evolve into a "real" MTB.

If you do more than one type of riding, it's always nice to have the
proper tool for the job. The Sierra served it's purpose nicely when most
of it's miles (43,000) were commuting in the streets of El Lay, but that
need is not what it used to be, so I decided to go more for the offroad
capabilities.

May you have the wind at your back.
And a really low gear for the hills!

Over here on team Fassa Bortolo we're riding the Pinarello
Dogma at the moment.

The groupo is pretty well just your standard pro stuff, you know,
Mavic Ksyrium SSC SL wheels, Campy 10-speed, Deda Elimenti
Newtom 31 bars, Fork: Pinarello Onda, Pedals: Time, Stem: Deda
Newton 33 and S-shaped ONDA carbon fork.

Nothing much to get excited about.

Well, you have your priorities straight, I see ;-3)

What are you talking about? The road bikes go in the kitchen and/or the
living room.

I like the Time frame and fork of Brioches La Boulangère bikes.

blah, blah, blah.

The FASTEST (remember this IS a race after all) team on the tour is
riding Canadian bikes. Cervélo all the way, eh!


It's not about the bike. It's about looking good.

In that case, everybody should go home. The podium girls have them all
beat.

Now that we put in new bamboo floors, the bikes are *not* going into
the kitchen or the living room. We've actually had long discussions
about what we're going to do in the winter -- we have no warm place to
work on the bikes now. I have been saying we should rip out the carpet
out of the downstairs "bonus" room and put in vinyl, but my husband
says we aren't going to be dragging our bikes through the house to
work on them in the basement. I bet a downstairs workshop though,
heated, would get much more use than the existing "workbench" in the
garage. Emma could use it for her extensive art projects, too.

Because only a midget can ride a 52cm frame and Fasso are a bunch of
losers? Just guessing here...

Isn't that what garages are for? The cars' seats are covered, and drive
trains in a car are sealed.

My garage contains:
my tourer
my younger daughter's road bike
my former mountain bike, now handed down to the older daughter
my wife's hybrid, formerly ridden by the younger daughter (although it
was never hers!)
two old mountain bikes, outgrown by said daughters
my old Schwinn Letour (and two 700c rims I'm going to rebuild the wheels
with Real Soon Now)
and the girls' old 20" bike, in reserve for when my niece loses hers...
