     I had a Focus Mares AX 3.0 (I think it was). Loved it. Absolutely loved it. I bet that CX 5.0 is awesome.

    How many miles did you RIDE today?

    haven 't ridden in so long I can't remember the last time. Some commute to work. Maybe early Jan. Weather has been ****. Getting tired of it.

    In case anyone is interested, WD-40 now makes bike-specific products, aptly named WD-40 Bike. Never used them. http://www.wd40bike.com/

    General Bike Thread (Desiderata, Questions, Pics)

     I'm inclined to agree with you--however, from the complaints I've read on-line, this problem is wide-spread, so it's not the shop's fault. But I am going to insist we swap this thing out for something better, and not at my cost. It's still under warranty, otherwise I would go to a...

    stupid ass FSA BB30 *************. Anyone have one of these? I'm going back to the shop for the third time in as many months to get this damn thing fixed. This time they're swapping it out for a new one.

    Anyone mind if I post a bike for sale in this thread? I've listed my Focus Mares AX2 2011 54cm cyclocross bike for sale on Craigslist and thought I'd throw it up here too in case there was any interest in the Washington, DC area. If no objections in the next couple days I'll give details. b

    How should French Cuffs fit your wrists?

     There are a few options for this. 1. Have your tailor shorten the sleeves--the best option, IMO. 2. Buy snap cuff-links which will tend to hold the cuff tighter than chain- or bar-linked cuff-links. Silk knots will probably also close the cuff tighter. Both snap cuff-links and silk...

     Yeah, and you have to give up your entire transit benefit to get the bike benefit. And there are all sorts of ridiculous restrictions on what you can use the money for and what sort of receipts you have to show, etc. I work with a bunch of serious bike commuters and I don't think any of...

     What the hell? Pre-tax? I want in on this deal! Is it just your company that does this as a perk? Or does the UK gov't mandate that employers offer such a thing? Holy crap.

     Sorry. Thanks for the correction, LawrenceMD; I always screw them up. I think of those V-brakes as linear pull brakes. Aren't those synonyms? Anyway, cantis are what I was talking about.

    General Bike Thread (Desiderata, Questions, Pics)

     I'll reiterate this on both counts. I insisted on flat bars on my commuter, then bought a CX bike later, and now much prefer riding that one, in part because of the drop bars and multiple positions they afford me. My commuter, a 2009 Trek FX7.6, is very much like the Whyte you linked to...

    Cuff Link Damage

     Prices vary wildly. In my experience, while the maker matters, what matters more is the metal. Base are well under $100 unless they have particularly nice enamelling. Sterling silver gets you to the $100 mark and up. And then gold goes up from there. The second most important is...

    Sliced a chunk of my thumb off with my mandolin on Christmas Eve. Can't shift on two of my bikes and can't fix the flat on my third. I've seldom wanted to ride so badly. Stupid thumb.

     Every time I see that Ibis my jaw drops. I think I have to go ride next weekend. And a ride or two to work this week.

    A friend just won a drawing for a new Cervelo. They shipped it with Ultegra Di2. I'm very happy for her; but DAMN! Why couldn't that be me? Wow.
