    I had a Giant 780X (is that right?) back in '88. That's when mtb seat
    tubes were around the same size as a road bike's. High, ball-smashing
    top tubes. That thing tried to kill me 100 times, but I was cutting my
    teeth then.

    Freekin' brilliant! I've never seen that before. There's no reason to
    go back to the cable. You should mass market that stick! Have Bontrager
    design one in carbon fiber....

    I console
    myself as she disappears that, were I not on a rigid, I would be flying
    down the hill too. I am then immediately passed at high speed by two
    guys on rigids. My ego is thoroughly deflated.


    HAH!

    It has been about four and a half hours. We ride the last mile of the
    course together.

    After that, we go out and get stinking wasted.

    I have about an inch of standover on the Giant. You gotta be careful
    riding a bike like that...
