[VPI]

I'll probably stick with the Niner.

[VPI]

You need one of these Justin.

That's gotta be fake.....$1k for a current model frame that's $5,300 new? Them Chinese make a lot of fake Pinarellos from what I hear.

[VPI]

Yeah, it has to be fake, but he still needs one.  My shop has one with DA Di2 for only 13.5k in his size.

Went for a 6 mile ride with my oldest.  He hadn't been doing anything since hockey season ended, so he was looking to ride with me to help get back in shape.  3 miles up and 3 down was almost exactly his limit.  So we're gonna ride more often.

 

Did it on the mountain bike, average heart rate of 135.  Decided I need a new bottom bracket for my bike, but I have absolutely no idea what my 25 year old mountain bike takes.  I'll have to see if I can find out.

[MexicanDragon]

Time to get a new bike, Dan. Or maybe NOS XTR BB.

[grawk]

I just need to figure out what size

[VPI]

You need the new Niner gravel bike.

[MexicanDragon]

I knew there was some company that I read about with a new bike that Dan should buy. That's pretty sweet. When you picking it up, Dan? 105 or Rival build?

This could be fun for the Virginia / Maryland people.

So Dan and Chris have schedule conflicts and I think Ben is in Cali but Justin and I are talking about doing the 40 mile ride tomorrow.  Juan, you around?

For the Nishiki posted a few pages back?

 The bike in the picture you posted appears to have a Sugino impel crankset.

A 110mm spindle length BB-UN26 or BB-UN55 would do the trick.

Nice.  It is like we are a cycling shop here.

[grawk]

Also a previously scheduled ride: the Beach Dr loop at 8 am tomorrow with a buddy.

[VPI]

I guess we need to recruit more DC area HC Cycling Team members so we always have a team presence at these things.

[grawk]

or give more than 2 days notice

[raffy]

I'm not sure if anyone except Mike and I were watching the past 3 weeks but I gotta say: the 2013 Vuelta a Espana is the best race of 2013!  The Giro and TdF were nothing compared to the Vuelta.

[VPI]

Would have liked to watch it but it is not available on Fios.

 

Never made it out for a ride at all today.  I guess I need to head to the gym.

[justin]

Its a bike but which one?
