Willie-boy you aren't close to accurate here. In this high technology
world you brag that you ride a bicycle. High tech indeed.

Interesting, I missed that. Did he say if it was Schwinn or a Huffy?

Nah, he was rabbeting on about how physically fit he is and mentioned
that he has a bicycle and will hit 10,000 miles this year. That is
about 32 miles a day if he rides 6 days and rests on the 7th.

If I remember correctly he mentioned that it was a carbon fiber rig,
some $2,000 + worth of bicycle.



Your short-term memory seems to be OK at least. ;-)

FYI, I've got two bikes. Just bought a new one a couple months ago for
competition. A Cervelo P2C -
http://www.all3sports.com/imageserve...g/CRV7P2CF.jpg The red
version. It's all tricked out with a DuraAce group and Zipp wheels,
Easton aerobars and aero carbon fork. The frame alone is about two
grand; the complete bike is around five grand. It's light and fast.
Excellent for individual time trials and good for everything else. I
could have gotten a P3 Carbon but that's only for time trials and not
much of a road race bike.

My main bike for training is an older Specialized Allez with
chrome-molybdenum steel frame. It's got close to 70,000 miles on it all
told. This year alone I'm at the 8,000 mile mark to date. Maybe 500
miles of it on the P2 - I don't want to trash it training with it other
than when the weather's fine.
