Woops, missed the whole wedding news, congrats dbk.

Congrats Ken and here's to hoping the house sells soon.

X2 - very nice.

Picked up the Roubaix from the bike shop and figured the only appropriate thing would be to ride it the 6 miles home. I think I'm going to like this bike.

Glad to hear it worked out for you Dinny, it's nice to see Apply putting their above-average markup to good use.

Best of luck, Bryan. Me - just chilling with the little man on the couch.

Second suggestion to try the 12L's.

I'll be curious to hear your thoughts on how these work out after a few weeks. I've long thought about doing this for my PS3 which is as remote from my router as can be in the house and as such, suffers a bit for network related operation.

Excellent and well deserved, Al.

Thanks, really it's only 10 to 15lbs but it needs to go. The bike is also about finding a way to exercise that won't lead to another knee operation! I'm pretty psyched though, I rode the Cannondale Synapse Carbon and it was very nice but the idea that the Roubaix should be just a bit more compliant pushed me to spend the little extra it took to get it. My wife was a bit nonplussed at the price. Big congrats to you. I'm 20+ years away from being able to do anything like that at a minimum, or at least it feels that way right now.

Specialized Roubaix 58cm Here's to being less fat.

With the cover off I'd give it at least another 24 hours of rice treatment before doing anything. Sorry to hear about jack's little adventure but glad to hear that he's okay.

I realized that I forgot to update this thread last week, I blame sleep deprivation. Andrew was discharged on schedule last Thursday morning and has been keeping mom and dad on their toes for the last 4 days. So far he's a champion sleeper during the day but not so great at night. Lily seems to be adjusting pretty well to the new presence in the house and is very cute with him. I'll get off my ass some time in the next few days and post a picture or two.

Great idea for a thread. One thing about where I work now that is not so great is the fact that I no longer get to seek out and track down new stuff.

Congrats Mike (and son)!

Which is which, Tyll?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Congratz Al. I did a 6 week program the summer before my senior year and it is still one of my fondest memories.

Yeah, it's down to the following choices: Cannondale - Synapse Carbon 6 Apex Cannondale - Synapse Alloy 5 105 Specialized - Secteur Elite Apex Specialized - Roubaix Elite SL2 Apex I've just about ruled out the Cannondales for their slightly more aggressive geometry, which I neither need nor want. So really it boils down to whether or not I want to pay for a carbon frame setup.

NICE!

Happy Birthday Raffy!

Happy Birthday!

I'm after comfy and have no intentions of racing or riding competitively.

In an effort to be less fat I'm currently looking at a Specialized Rubaix.

I have the benefit of my notebook having two HD bays (without compromising the optical bay) so I could easily live with a smaller SSD OS drive and a larger, traditional drive for storage. In the end run I'd like to have a 128-SSD/1TB-7200 setup, but I'm currently too busy/lazy to change from the 500-XT/500-7200. I'm nowhere near capacity on either drive. A more pressing and annoying thing to deal with is a strong desire to have a better NAS/backup setup.
