(n)A-GAME Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Soooooo....back to the original point of the thread: New MTB...Trek X-Cal 7. Might be a touch big for me but the price was so good I couldn't pass up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 On topic: This came in at the shop that sponsors our team yesterday. Heading over to drool over it in an hour. Alden: she is currently in jail for doing the same thing again. I lack the patience to read through similar articles from local news stations but apparently she could spend more time in jail if she continues to obstruct traffic after 3 convictions for reckless driving.

JoshV70 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Local drama. Lady went off on the FB page of the local cycling club, I guess there are some very strong opinions within that club about the way she is handling things. Anyway, after 3 careless driving tickets, she is in the slammer for continuing to ride her bike on a very busy 4 lane road. It's arguably the busiest road feeding Lexington, it has 3 hospitals, 1 mall and the university of Kentucky on it. http://www.wkyt.com/home/headlines/Jessamine-County-cyclist-arrested-275411291.html Sad thing is: there are 3-4 other ways to get to her destination, all beautiful roads with little to no traffic. Lol, I rode my bike down Nicholasville Rd ONCE and I was freaked out. Now that I think about it, that's the last time I rode a bike. She should try New Circle Rd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesoam Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Wrong material to get me excited Not Clydesdale approved... Way too many close calls last night, this time of year is rough... Stopped to help a guy with a flat but he had some ZIPP deep carbon clichers and the only tube I had was a no go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Wrong material to get me excited Dude, so many fat jokes, so little time. You should talk to a bike rep, I don't see why you couldn't ride a good carbon frame. Lol, I rode my bike down Nicholasville Rd ONCE and I was freaked out. Now that I think about it, that's the last time I rode a bike. She should try New Circle Rd. Ha! I stick to Armstrong Mill, Shelby Lane, Tates Creek to the ferry, etc.. It's beautiful here, especially this time of year. Not Clydesdale approved... Way too many close calls last night, this time of year is rough... Stopped to help a guy with a flat but he had some ZIPP deep carbon clichers and the only tube I had was a no go... Super chill drivers here for the most part. 6 years of riding here, never had a close call that really scared me. A few yellers, some "conversations" at red lights but nothing else. On topic: looking at Reynolds as my next wheels. Carbon clinchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfishing3 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 i ran into a specialized rep one time in the LBS. he saw my bike and said he has a CF frame that would work. I wasn't all that interested in finding out which one, but yeah i just like giving CF crap. i really wouldn't save any weight, so i don't see the point to be honest.

iPd Cameron Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Going for something a bit different with a different bike of mine I've had around for several years. It's been through a couple iterations but this new version should make a fun bike for cruising around: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Not feeling the bars, but are they comfortable ? Reminds me of the bikes I used to ride in Holland in high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they're definitely weird looking but super comfortable. It'll give me a more upright position too with the swept back bars which should be good for putzing around.
