My lugged Reynolds 531 steel bike weighs about 25 pounds with saddle bag, air pump, water bottle and I weigh 145 pounds at 6 ft tall. That's 170 pounds for my 54 years old heart and lungs to push. Checking my data from my last ride: 31.53 miles done in 3:04:29. And I stop at red lights and crawl to stop signs. And average speed of 10:26 mph for 31 and a half miles with hills. Would a 15 pound carbon bike would add an extra mile per hour? Probably. But not worth the $9,000.00.

The gentleman I bought them from gave me a pretty great deal, and even if I go totally nuts I will still be able to more-than-adequately build both of them up for much less than $5k. One's a roadie frame and one is a touring. Either one will handle "mixed terrain" and I can get a 28mm tire in that road frame I think. <br /><br /><br />If I thought that I couldn't get a nice bike for less than $5k, I'd just say "fuck it" and buy a(nother) Hyundai.N/Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14710395292374599493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-75305413066453962262017-07-13T11:52:23.449-04:002017-07-13T11:52:23.449-04:00The price tags on those bikecycles are shocking - ...The price tags on those bikecycles are shocking - $5k for a cheap one.

They will be offering a collection of colorways that are evocative of the greatest races and styles of bicycling's storied history. Vibrant Blue, Punchy Red, and Grueling Black. Wooly Yellow can be special ordered. Sorry, Winsome White sold out in the crowdfunding stage.<br />Pricing is $96 per 24" roll. They are sold individually, should you choose to curate a multi-hued presence on your handlebars. Every Tuesday evening at 7 PM, a cooperative workshop will be held to inform those who may wish to wrap their own bars rather than avail themselves of Best Made's art-is-anal wrapping services.

As a SEBB, you should have had plenty of time to have replaced the brand name on those rims with something more interesting, like "Leroy's dog," the names of your many brats, or some decades-dead racer. The biggest issue, though, is the lack of bottles in those cages. From previous writings it is obvious that you are over a mile from home. Let us hope that this does not signify a disturbing disregard for adequate hydration, but rather that you had removed your S'well bidons before setting up the shot and were enjoying some fartisinal beverage, after stirring it with your tire lever.<br />Like Tubasti, I rode 10 miles of gravel yesterday on 23 mm sewups and it was sweet. With the long, 17% climb, I ran a 42x23 for a bottom gear and from the looks of things, it's put me in better shape than that young punk LeMond, No joke.Steve Barnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05141738452735566462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-68316267531773754812017-07-13T00:55:11.212-04:002017-07-13T00:55:11.212-04:00wood. nature's natural carbon. i like that, an...wood. nature's natural carbon. i like that, and helps to remove co2 from the atmosphere. should be getting carbon credits for that.8carlislehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09183957045514958133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-19682138450991535632017-07-12T22:33:51.258-04:002017-07-12T22:33:51.258-04:00Wildcat, I like your Milwaukee, too.
