Whoa, hold up!

 

No way Paul, you can't officially nominate yourself for the granola guerilla until you get clipless pedals for that bad-boy...

 

One of these wouldn't hurt, either...

Tell ya what Paul, since you're not getting your mountain workout this weekend, ride it up here so I can have a look... grin.gif

 

Oh yeah and now that you have a road bike you have to start following the TDF, and riding around everywhere in a brightly colored racing jersey just like Lance! Geek_em8.gif

 

Man I am shit-talking up a storm here. I must really be bored... confused.gif Hmm but seriously, maybe we should get you some clipless pedals and go on a road ride tomorrow...

Here's my ride, except it has clipless pedals and 23's instead of 20's now.

I don't feel that I'm cool enough for the messenger bag or the racing jersey yet...

d00d my bike is sexier....c'mon down and I'll show you how I RIP IT UP on a bike. blush.gif

 

Those skinny little tires don't absorb much shock...and my shoulders need to get used to the low position. fruit.gif

I'm telling you man, those clipless pedals are sweet. A little stressful in stop-and-go traffic though.

 

And your bike may be a young sexy virgin, but mine's got mature grace, and that irrestible Bianchi celeste!

Yes baby cracked I have a mesenger bag. (I was a mesenger in Seattle for 3 years) Very handy around town. Get mountain bike clipless, easier to get in and out of and shoes are better for walking. Let's go for a ride sometime.

That's not a hippy bike BTW.

Ahhh, went for another ride, in the opposite direction on the BGT. I shoulda gotten this bike five months ago. thumbs_up.gifthumbs_up.gif

 

I went for a road bike because the thing will never get out of the city.

He was saying put mountain-style clipless pedals on your road bike. The shoes won't go -click-clack- like mine when you walk.

 

What's the BGT? Did you see any guys in Lycra and seizure-inducing racing jerseys?

I have a Giant OCR-1, from 2001, a couple of years before that one. Basically the same bike with a little higher component set. They hadn't put shaped seatstays on them at that point, the ride is more harsh. Forks are straight-blade carbons, Shimano 105 flightdeck throughout.

 

Ditto on the mtn-bike pedals. I ride road pedals and shoes on mine, but I put my Time ATAC mtn pedals on there for a while and it's much better if you're running errands or going to class or something.

 

Here's the bike:

Forget the clipless pedals. Forget about queer little shoes that go "clack clack clack" when you walk. Wanna be a cool guy? Want the gals to hear your coming? Just get some old playing cards and a clothes pin.

Got an old pair of Onza Mountain pedals on the beast, custom cut MR tuffys and an A5 sticker on the seat tube... one burly ride in deed!
