Would they have Basso fitted with a bike and Disco outfit already?

Is he riding Levi's bike? It's way too small for him.

For what they're paying, I'd fedex it to him and he'd be wearing it on the plane
coming over.

Looks like he borrowed somebody's daughter's bike...

Life is getting very confusing for the dedicated fatty master. First he
had to get rid of his Trek to get a Cervelo, then he had to sell the
Cervelo to get a BMC and now he's got to get a Trek again. No wonder
Kunich hasn't been posting lately.

They probably asked him what size frame he rode...and then forgot to
tell him that the Trek sizings are to the top of the seat tube (which
"inflates" the seat tube measurement by 2 cm.) So he says "give me a
54" and they do...except it fits like a 52 on him...he,he....good thing
we've got this 150mm stem lying around...he,he..

Nah, it's just that good ole 'merican growth hormones are much stronger than
what's he's used to.

I think the comparison makes it clear he's on a very wrong bike size,
for some reason. Either that or he's decided to try out a completely new
bike position.

Never mind that, though, compare the chainstays on those two bikes! I
knew the new Cervelo stays were skinny, but damn!
