  1. Surprise, its me!!

    I felt obliged to post since I kinda slagged on Cervelo not getting JP
    his bikes, just last night.

    Well, I spoke with JP and Cori today, and they got a box full of
    frames. Carbon frames, that is. Black gold, Texas tea.

    Anyhow. He said they are so light he thinks he will break it the first
    time out. He only has enough parts to build one without cannabalizing
    the mi-posters, so he is gonna do that and try to break it.

    Cervelo has a pretty good breakage reputation, I hear, so maybe these
    are just sick light. He did say they have a sloping TT and they are so
    tiny he is not sure he can put his arm through it. May have to come up
    with a reto-fit handle design, like luggage, or on an M16. That would
    be cool.

    Hope to post photos of these long awaited mysterious bikeys soon.

    i was told they use the "same" main triangle as the R2.5 and a
    different rear triangle.

    By "pretty good breakage reputation" I hope you mean that they DON'T
    break.

    Tell him not to do any wheelies for a while, just in case. 😉

    Or simply very good at replacing all the frames that break (sort of
    like Trek when they had the cranksets rotate in the composite frames).
    Or like my son at handling all the details at the accident scene when
    he had his fourth accident in three years.

    Damn I was happy when he went to his own policy. Then, of course, he
    stopped having accidents...

    Reechard doesn't build ugly bikes, so no straight forks. Pretty simple
    really ;-)

    I figured there was, but couldn't resist. I can resist anything but
    temptation.
