Geronimo Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Come over to the mtb side we have trails, beer and dirty girl's fun fun fun. How do you get the dirty girls clean? Do you have to shower with them?
Me rida my bicycle Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 How do you get the dirty girls clean? Do you have to shower with them? well in Cape Town we have serious water restrictions so showering with them will be your way of helping your community. Unless you are married then showering with them will NOT be in your best interest and could lead to serious injury.????????
Duane_Bosch Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 Money shots fired!yeah except I have a TCR that I ride more than my mountain bike.
SwissVan Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 Ive had a really crappy day so this thread has been great fun. The funniest comment was the one referencing a gps so as not to get lost. Ive never used mine for that! I've got some freinds to ride with so usually between us we have a clue. Real men use their garmins for logging a ride for strava!Hey Blondie ???? Exactly, except I use a hill and mountain for navigation...As long as I keep one of them insight I will find my way home ????

rudi-h Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 nostalgia is a strange thing... marginal changes over a single lifetime seem to make us think back of the "good old days" and how "tough" we were, but then if you look at it a bit different, you'll soon realize that those "good old days" just aren't as good or special as they seemed. the same way that you perceive disc brakes, 25mm tyres and 30t cassettes to be a sign of the world becoming soft and the "death" of a sport once mastered only by the tough and the brave, the same argument was probably made by those who lived through 1887 when pneumatic tyres were first invented. or in 1905 when the rear derailleur made its first appearance and since then when synthetic clothes, gloves, leg warmers and shoe covers came along... so in short: everyone of us is a complete softie by the standards of the 1886 hardmen that rode penny farthings in the european winter without gears, pneumatic tyres, helmets or warm clothing. if riding a disc bike that happens to be more comfortable, has better brakes, more adequate gearing AND is significantly faster than my first 12kg narrow tyred steel machine with down-tube shifters makes me a softie, then I'm perfectly fine with that... I'll go out on a cold morning just to "keep it real", but no thanks, I won't change my bike side note: our roads have become so much shyter, that the new "comfortable" tech has basically just leveled the playing field
Eldron Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 nostalgia is a strange thing... This! Nostalgia can be short term too. I remember standing at the start line on a shiny new aluminium Niner having the piss taken out of me for riding "wagon wheels". I'm pretty sure if I pitched up at a race now with a 26" bike I'd get the same treatment.

GaryvdM Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 Since it's Friday - I would like to raise a tangent issue: while I love the improvements to bikes, I hate the breaks in compatibility that often come with these improvements. BB/Crankset compatibility a prime example of this.

Maybe not in the higher end market, but certainly for the majority of the bell curve.

Frosty Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 This comfort thing on a steel frame that some eludes to... what is that? Carbon, Steel, Alu all feels the same to me, as does 23mm vs 25mm. Perhaps I should put 28mm on the Ritchey to see. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
