Payment to Frank Krygowski

[[email protected]]

I owe Frank Krygowski for a bare rim that he tested for me in another
thread, which dropped a tenth of an inch under a 10-lb weight, but was
squashed flat under a full Krygowski (roughly 0.5 Chalos):

I hope that it's safe to say that we're square.

Cheers,

How much is a Chalo in kg, anyway? Judging from his endless rants about
lycra and CF, I'd say it's well into 3 figures

Dear Michael,

The most recent Chalo is a svelte 1.82 standard Fogels, which is in
turn a unit of approximately 1.055 current Krygowskis.*

Cheers,

That's 155kg and 2.03m to you, son. _Way_ too much man for a plastic
bike. You are free to ride your Malibu Barbie Fun Bike as much as you
like, though.

Well, there's something we can agree on

Why, thank you. They're particularly good up hills, you know.

Or 2.04 Michaels before meals, if you're collecting units.

Dang, Chalo, and I thought I was a moose on a bike at 95 kg and 1.96 m.
I'd be the runt of the litter compared to you.

He's only 15cm taller than me, but weighs over twice as much! Incredible.
Either he's a bodybuilder, doesn't ride much or consumes more food and beer
than a typical third-world country
