Bob ... You need to feel very guilty that you managed to achieve a station in life that would have been completely impossible in this country had you not been a Caucasian male who identifies with one version or another of Christianity. Me too. No way would we have nice homes, nice cars, and...

I don't have it yet - it's "ship to store" so is scheduled for delivery to the local Performance in about 3-4 days. Probably ready for pickup about Tuesday 12/15. Link to product description on the Performance website...

It's definitely something a "serious" cyclist in cold climate regions should consider as a way to keep riding during sub-freezing weather with snow and ice. Also consider studded tires and an indoor trainer to stay in the game.

You are THE MAN when it comes to anything Campy - will do as you suggest! BTW - notice I said "first"

I just bought this. I was looking for a second road bike to use as a training bike. It was on clearance at Performance. Kestrel RT1000 2013 Bottom Bracket:FSA Integrated, BB30 Brakes: Campagnolo Athena Cassette: Campagnolo Athena 11-25T Chain: KMC X11, 11-sp Crankset: FSA SLK Carbon 52/36T...

Watching any of those requires what movie critics call "the necessary suspension of disbelief" - especially watching politicians.

Wool is another story. I keep intending to buy a Smartwool base layer because I love the feel of their winter thermal wool socks ... Just never got around to it yet.

Yup, the "[email protected] brands are a premium without necessarily offering an advantage. Cotton though is the only thing I won't wear on a ride except in really hot weather - where the right cotton jersey can be a plus. Learned that the hard way in November 2012 when I was back into cycling by...

UA does have the best cold protection, IMHO, for extreme cold, in their 4.0 series (they now have 5.0 which I haven't tried yet). That level of protection would be great for Ohio but overkill in So. CA weather. I have a few sets of the Russell - comfortable and good for mild cold conditions...

There were some on a thread in Bike Buying Advice. Some spam still getting through

Probably no "one size fits all" answer to that. Anything under 10 stresses me out more - because it's takes as long to get ready to ride as it does to do 10 miles. Long treks 40-50 plus miles are my best stress reliever because I enjoy the "adventure" aspect of it.

Studded tires, wash the bike really well after each ride and use moisture displacing lubricant to help prevent rust/corrosion.

Well, I wasn't able to ride recently due to a family situation - that is over - alas a close relative passed away after a lengthy illness - woukd like to get back to it - but not tonight - 14.5 inches of snow since 7 am - but should all melt by midweek

Virtually no bike lanes in this region. Having rode in virtually every corner of Metro Detroit, the only place with a significant number of bike lanes is Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti - which makes sense given the roughly 65,000 students at the two major universities, U of M and Eastern Michigan. Other...

**duplicate post deleted**

why would any man want to dress like a woman, or worse, become one? I know, not PC, but frankly, it's revolting.

As it should be

I'm like the phone company, I don't care because I don't have. Once upon a time, oh so many years ago (2012), I was very different. I "sweated the small stuff" and worried about this and that half a world away that had no impact on my day to day life. I could be glued to the tv for hours...

Absolutely right there pwarbi - it's just another reality game show these days - and the entire lot of them are pathetic. It's actually peaceful to not really know, not really care, and not really give a **** about any of this, which is where I am in my life. ISIS can chop heads and blow...
