it's cheap.

and the decals are on the outside of the paint so no one has to know it's from performance . . .

I have one

I've been riding one for a few months now, and I'm quite happy with it for tooling around town. Based on your recent post about taking the class at DLV, I'm guessing you're looking at it for use as a track bike. I can't comment on its merits as far as that goes, as I haven't gotten mine out onto the track. I can tell you that it's a more relaxed geometry than most track bikes (it's more along the lines of a modern geared road racing bike), and that might mean trouble on the track if the BB isn't high enough. I have not yet seen any guidelines on how high the BB needs to be for any given crank length.

What size do you ride? Mind

What size do you ride? Mind if I try it before I order one? They have a 20% off web orders coupon so its getting to the point I might just do it.

56cm

You're welcome to try it. It's got Crank Bros Candy pedals on it, if you have some cleats to match.

Damn you!

Danm you to hell! I do not need another bike, but now I am looking at their carbon ones and thinking that I am going to be in town and it could be fun to go out on a new bike.

I hope you are happy now.

Tell me about it...

I may be getting a new bike that I don't need too. Steel, barely ridden, full shimano 600, my size, brushed steel finish. And no, short people, I'm not telling you where I'm getting it until I've decided whether or not I'm getting it.

No, not really

I am actually embarrassed that I missed out on the double entendre.

No

Remember we discussed which one of yours you'd prefer me to get to first.

Cat goes well with greyhound... it is a variation of surf and turf. Does anyone on FM have a spare greyhound?

Let me get this straight:

You want to eat pussy because your dog is too fast.

I think your going for more

I think your going for more of a TurDucken type deal hear.
First let a cat eat a mouse, then let the greyhoud get the cat, THEN.. into a large broiler at 375 for 45 minutes per pound.

It should be ready just in time for FM24.
