Unobtanium.

Those ti frames look lame, too skinny.
They're just using aero hydraulic line.

The only real choice nowadays is carbon, just do it!

As far as steel goes, no one has really done that since
the days of Walter Godefroot, and he was Belgian, so
that explains that.

Yes.

Or pasta. (There's an old thread about it here somewhere.)

Lets just let that old thread stay dead, it was just a bunch of you
colonial types arguing that it's still ok to been seen riding on a
18 lb. bike.

I finally persuaded everyone that they need a sub 16 lb. bike nowadays.

Incidentally, Fabs, why the sudden flurry of posts? I didn't catch
the headline that said you'd abandoned.

Oh, that someone would supply me with what I need!
s/need/want

What I really need right now is a roast leg of lamb dinner.
No mint jelly/sauce -- just a bunch of dill tossed into the
unpeeled new potatoes and fresh garden peas, swimming in
pools of molten, salted butter. And a noticable dousing
of S&P.

Anyhow, bamboo frames are interesting.

Holy smokes! It's hailing out right now as I write this.
And I've gotta go to the store ...

I hope my gladiolas don't get pounded.

cheers,
Tom

Rest day, tomorrow we hit the Vercors region, it's a little too 'French' for
my liking, but what can you do? I'd much rather be riding out in the
Bormio or Treviso area.

See my post about using your car to go to the store.

You never see people using their bike for that in places like
Genova or Clusone

That can be fixed. In Genova, Clusone, Scranton, Dayton,
Canton, or anywhere else.

Istanbul, not Constantinople...

Although my dad sometimes slips and still calls it Constantinople.
Just because it sounds cooler...

I was at the store while you were writing that. Your hail was only
rain down here by the river.
It started sprinkling just after I left home and then the deluge hit.
I got soaked through in three blocks.
Bad day for spun sugar frames.

Ah, good ol' Marpole. Lemme guess: the Husky? Or that little
grocery on 70th between Oak & Granville? I miss Marpole. I
especially miss when nobody knew about 'Cravings', and the Coast
Hotel was where airline pilots went, to not drink too much.
And the White Spot was across the street.

My ride home from work today (and to the Money Mart at Knight
& 41st to cash my subsequent cheque) was punctuated with in-the-
kisser headwinds. Ugh! But it beats not riding at all. And
it sure beats stantion-hanging on a crowded rush-hour bus. I retained
my $4.oo carfare, anyway. I resorted to the 26" granny for a brief
moment today, crawling up beside Clark Park.

I recall how minutely discrete thunderstorms would crawl up
the Fraser River, past Marpole, and up toward Port Coquitlam
where they belong :-)

cheers,
Tom

Nope, 67th and Oak. There's a new Dan-Dee Market where Boomer's Drugs
once was. And the International (Russian) Deli where Boris the
shoemaker used to be.

uggh, that's a slog after a rough day but it beats waiting for busses.
Riding them isn't as hard for me as conforming to their schedule. I
think of bus rides as a sort of immunisation booster.

I'm cheered by any rain that intermittently graces us during summer.
It washes the air and perks up the plants.
