Food for your head


JPM flogs a ZR-1 Vette. All cars should sound this way...

People talk about bikes being 'NOS' (New Old Stock), but this Masi is a bit of a twist...

Ullrich has 'burnout syndrome'? From what?

An interview with Ted King. He's cool and seems to have a bit of the 'old cloth' woven into his tapestry.

Here are 'The Rules' again, for those who missed them, or have forgotten one (or more)...

An observation from me, myself and I...
-If you do not remember the time in cycling that pre-dated 'The Lance Era', do not use the words 'OLD SCHOOL'. Unless you've watched Tchmil crush skulls in the 94 Roubaix, just be quiet.

It's coming...

Rides:
Did 2.5 with La Gata and Rochester yesterday. Felt great until we stopped for H2O. 1/2 of a bottle of cold water, on an empty stomach is bad news. I felt BAAAAD for the last 30 minutes or so. Good ride though....big fun.

Up and at 'em early this morning. Insomnia shook me awake at 0330, so I got up @ 0530 and was on the bike @ 0630. Nice ride out through WC while El Sol cracked the horizon. Stopped down by the river for a moment to enjoy the solitude, then home. Nice to be done and showered by 0900!

Gonna try to get video of the cross course again tomorrow. The mount seems very solid now...we'll see!

Peace!

Glad to see Masi can still use the name, I thought it had been sold and they lost the rights. LOVE that fork crown.

I don't think he has the OK to use the name for new frames. I think this build was a one-off and he used 'MASI' on the frame because all of the bits were NOS, so ostensibly, it could be argued that it was a 20 year old frame, built in 2010...
