OT – Bike recommendations

[quote]put lance armstrong on a rusty chained garage sale special and he will beat everyone except maybe the worlds most elite riders regardless of how expensive a bike you put the remander of the athletic world, even the really strong dudes you may see on the hills of san diego — for the title of armstrong’s book is, after all, ‘ITS NOT ABOUT THE BIKE”. but he’s a freak, he’s not like you and me, and it’s not about hard work, some peoplea re just physiologically different…[/quote]

it’s not JUST about the bike.

However, if you put Lance on a garage-sale 40 lb hybrid with a rusty chain and MTB tires and make him compete against a random serious San Diego cyclist on a well-tuned 18 lb $600 road bike, I’d bet against Lance.

If you throw in some serious hills and put Lance on a single-speed bike, or even a bike with a messed-up derailleur, he’ll be beat up so bad it won’t even be funny.

if you bet against lance, you would lose.

everyone likes to pretend it’s the bike.

kinda like when you put on your air jordans, you know, you could beat michael if he were wearing orthopedic shoes.

riiiiiiggghht.
mike would beat you if you duct taped his legs together.

steel rusts? barely. not if you dont leave it out.

titanium fails catastrophically.

aluminum fails catastrophically. check the internet for pictures of bikes failing.

steel.

Get this one.

$900…Plus it comes with a small 50cc Honda motor…
That’s the only kind of bike I’d ever ride for a long distance. Slap on a forced induction kit (turbo or supercharger), and you can push 50hp+ :)…

Yeah, I know. They don’t call me flu for nothing.
