1) That a Cat 4 or 5 should buy special racing equipment instead of learning how to race. Or that there's no harm in buying special equipment WHILE learning how to race.
2) That TT performance would be enhanced with aero equipment before the racer knows how to TT consistently.
3) That special gearing, special wheels or special light bikes are necessary for beginners.
Anyone that tries to pass off any of these myths on you is selling you a bill of goods or has himself been sold a bill of goods. I have a C40 with all carbon parts on it with seat pack, pump and water bottles it weighs in less than one pound lighter than my steel Basso Loto in like setup. Both have Campy Chorus components except for FSA barbon cranks.

No harm in enjoying the C40. On the other hand, someone else's dust TASTES better when you're riding a Huffy. Not sure why that is, but it's true. Trust me, I've studied the matter extensively.

I like these myths. Kinda like the helmet thing. It's called separating the herd.

Obviously you bought into the myth that Chorus is "good enough." The problem of course is that you must have Record to get maximum performance. Jeesh.

I thought the object was to make them eat your dust.
Also, do note that the dust generated by a carbon fiber C40 may be toxic. So, making them eat your expensive Colnago dust might be insulting -and- injurious. However, I'm sure carbon fiber-expert Tom Kunich can tell us if in fact this is the case, and the precise speed one needs to go to have a C40 slough off fibers.

I buy stuff I want. Someone else wanted to know IF HE NEEDED to have that stuff. The answer in anyone's book except yours is "no".
Actually *your* answer to that question was that it would not improve his speed to use aero equipment in a flat TT... and that answer makes no sense. No one suggested that he *needed* better equipment.

Would that be a real Huffy, or a Serotta with Huffy labels?

Doesn't matter so long as you _think_ it's a real Huffy.
Or maybe it doesn't matter so long as _HE_ thinks it's a real Huffy.
I'm certain that perception is reality. Now I just need to figure out whose perception that is. If I ever get my hands on that guy, boy does HE have a thing or two coming.

I think it's time that Koach Kunich had his koaching license revoked. Who are the welevent othorities?

The point was/is that it's hypocritical for you to give them any [censored], given your gratuitous bike possessions.
You mean as opposed to your lack of riding a bike and still posting here?
Now there's the non-sequitur of the day. I'd still appreciate it if you would answer my question on the fundamentals of time trialing with and without HRM. Thanks in advance.

If you wish to hire me to coach you I'd be happy to relate all sorts of things to you. In that case you need only phone me up and make an appointment and I'll have the contract ready when you come past.

Well, I'd say that you're officially on the "enemies list" now, Andy. Not like that's too hard, though.
Does this mean our CSO is now gay like the rest of the enemies.
