Mark, that's funny-- I used to ride with the ABC guys, too (but not in about 8 or more years now). I remember the president being a really tall guy named Doug. He rode one of those wacky Ti Colnago's with the double down tube and there was a mix of what I'd consider Bobish types and common Freds

I can lie to anyone about anything, and that lying includes why this is better or worse than that, I am right and you are wrong, and continue to lie by giving evidence to support my claim and deny yours. Huh. That feels pretty crappy, but there I go teĺling another lie of excuses ! Huh. I c

My Rivendells always get "That's a cool bike!" reactions, here in ABQ. If I were in your situation, I'd have told the idiot, "You must be new to cycling" or "Is your name Fred?" On Mon, Apr 18, 2016 at 7:42 PM, Julian wrote: > I was out on my Rambouillet on a club ride on Sunday (a near perfect
