You don't need help decorating. Great artwork.

ps- You do look like Dr. Doom with the helmet on. Scared me :)

After the swim, I'm a fish outta water.

Not too bad at all, nice flat back, hips rolled forward, arms sheltering the thighs but whats up w/ the hairy legs?

My wife wants to know if you guys will decorate our house? We are challenged in this category.

How did you sneak your bike and trainer into that art museum for the picture?

HA! Thanks. That picture doesn't actually do it justice. It is a piece my wife had commissioned from a local artist. It is also kind of ginormous since probably half or less of it is actually in the picture.

My wife is actually a designer. Living in my house is kind of like living in a museum. Only you can touch stuff (if she isn't looking).

I haven't gotten around to shaving the legs this year. We had a baby last summer and I have only just recently gotten back on the bike....the hair comes off soon though..

Saddle seems a bit high. If you measure your knee angle, looks closer to 165-170. Idelly would be 150-155 deg.

Other than that, looks really good.

Looks very good to me. My only comment is that you have probably gone narrower at the elbows than you need to - they are well inside your legs - I find that wider is more comfortable and more powerful, and wider does not add any drag as long as you stay inside your legs. B

I get the feeling your neck is a bit "in", like a turtle, in that top pic. You might be able to breathe better if you elongate it a bit and activate those muscles so they are all working to support the noggin. Anyway, it's the first thing that jumped out at me, not sure if there is any validity to it.

Legs should be inside elbows, not vice versa. Think about it. Much better to have your forearms & elbows deflect air around your wildly churning knees. Tip of your elbows should be just a hair outside of your knees.

Helmet is too far back on the head, huge amount of forehead showing would suggest it will slip back on impact and make your face the first point of contact with the road.

"How bad can it be?" - SimpleS

Looks good, some things to work on:

- LEGS! What's up with all that hair?

- Like Rappstar said, seat is too high

- LEGS! What's up with all that hair?

- I would spread the elbows a little bit.

- LEGS! What's up with all that hair?

So what you're trying to say is....my seat is too high.......and I need a shave......bad.



elbows are pretty comfortable at that spacing, but I can widen them just a bit. Am I low enough or should I drop the bars anymore? I am using an ergo stem for the moment, so I have a lot of adjustability.

Now where in the hell did I put the weed-whacker/leg-hair trimmer?

If you have the ergostem, than you can try to go lower, yes. But with time, nothng too radical, your position looks pretty good.

Of course that when you lower your saddle, you'll need to drop the front end the same amount.



But first... shave your legs :-D

Damn, I spent the last 20min trying to find something to make fun of you in your house. I can't find anything. Nice pad.

Aerobar pad spacing looks a little narrow in the second shot - I'd think you'd breathe a little better with a slightly wider stance.

Leave the leg shaving for the posers.

I just have a huge forehead....now I'm gonna be paranoid for life....thanks.....







Seriously, I just plopped it on for the picture (I had actually originally put on a witch hat that my daughter had as a costume for halloween, but figured people would just comment on it and not look at my position). I really do wear it farther down when riding.

1) You need to shave. Seriously.

2) You don't look AT ALL like I pictured you would. You don't look like the clever, sarcastic person you appear to be. You actually look like a nice, everyday guy.

3) Tell me about your flooring. I see the pretty hardwood, but what about the rest? What kind of flooring is that under the stroller? What about under the bike? What did you use in to transition to and from the hardwood?

Just like you're too cheap to go get a real fitting, I'm too cheap to go out and buy a copy of Martha Stewart Living. Help!

Wow, your front wheel looks like it's way out there. Is it a custom headtube angle and fork rake?

The flooring is heart of pine (entire house), lighting just changes the tones somewhat. The rug is a seagrass or some other natural fiber....I leave that stuff to my wife...she really is very talented in the design department. We use a similar thing in the dining room. I will try to link a pic of the megakitchen to jchat sometime and you can see what all the fuss was about with THAT headache.



Leg hair comes off, I promise.



Most of my sarcasm is meant to be humorous, but it obviously doesn't come across that way over the internet. In real life I tend to joke quite a bit, but it is hard to make snappy witty comebacks on the internet without coming off like a complete ass.......or so it would appear ;)

Nope, that is the standard head angle for the bike and I just used the fork rake recommended by the frame builder (43 degrees I believe). But looking at it it does look sort of ....um...chopper-esqu

I think if you are going to use an Aero helmet, you should consider making the jump to the new LG Rocket aero helmet. While it does have a slightly wider/taller cross-section than the Prologue which gives the wearer somewhat of a, um, 'bugheaded' appearance, the Rocket has a variety of improvements. These improvements include a longer tail that is shaped to better follow the contour of your back (eliminates the shark fin effect of the Prologue), an improved retention system, and a better shape where the helmet fits around the riders temples so that eyewear like Oakley's do not have to constantly readjust their glasses since the Prologue feels as if the frames on Oakleys are being compressed/deformed by the helemts shell.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Please tell me since you are wearing an aero helmet you 1. Win races 2. Place in the top 10 overall 3. Win your age group.

" Damn, I spent the last 20min trying to find something to make fun of you in your house. I can't find anything. Nice pad."



I think I have something. The vase in the second picture looks to be crooked.

No, actually I like to troll forums like this in order to provoke that type of response as I lay around the house getting fat drinking beer and surfing the net for porn (:^>)! On the other hand, while I personally would not wear an aero helmet for 1/2 or full IM (helmet is to hot), it has lent itself well to turning some sub 57 min, 40K USCF time trials over the past year!
