Its nice to see what the big boys are doing BUT the real significance to this is the LiveStrong Foundation for Cancer Research - founded by Lance Armstrong.

WTF Do You Mean - Bikes for Vampires?
Vampires are denizens of the darkest part of the City!
YOU GOTS TO BE FAST!!! YOU GOTS TO BE FLY!!! YOU BE LOOKIN’ FOR YOUNG HOT VIRGINS TO EXPLOIT (OK, maybe a little stretch), BACK TO BUSINESS … When the WINGS just don’t want to work, either WALK or USE A BIKE!!! Sounds reasonable to me.
Rebuilding a TT bike can be a real PITA!!!! A 54cm Felt S22 carbon frame and Aero Fork, with the obligatory Zipp tubular Carbons (here using 404s because I can’t afford 808’s) Dura Ace 7800 front and rear derailleurs, Shimano bar ends, Vision TT bars, 17 degree Bontrager, Dura Ace 10 (12-25) cassette, everybody’s favorite - Jagwire, and more to come.
I find out that the Bottom Bracket housing is Italian threaded , ya’know, right-handed threading on both sides, so MA’ FSA MegaExo DON’T WORK „, Oh SHEEP!! Got to get one so the FSA Gossamer K-force Carbon will work.

They’re rebuilding a Bimmer Double O2 (that’s an old school BMW 2002) and finding out that German steel SUCKS!!! They keep repairing body panels and s’tuff.
‘Till the next problemo. Peace.
