Putting the new Speed Machine together....and you guys in the 40-44 (and 45-49, come October) are in BIG TROUBLE ;-)

I scammed this new frame/fork/headset for 325 bucks, and Monk did a deal with me for some slightly used Ultegra parts (I suppose I’ll get around to building this thing up in the next week or so). Hey…at least I know that I’ll LOOK fast (heh, heh). 650c, of course. 78 degree, and man…those are going to start getting harder to find in my size (53-55cm) from ol’ QR, sadly.

Nice Bike Tony.

Now that you got yourself a sweet looking bike, make sure to get some tri-shorts, drop the nut-huggers.

Seat is to high.

I’m diggen the front wheel. Nice touch. what will you put on the back?

Have fun building it.

Hey fuck you they have been used a shitload.

Oh…I mean barely ever used, and never in the rain, and only by a little old lady, on Sundays, to go to church.

Nevertheless, that is a very pretty bike. Maybe you should have one of your front teeth capped in the same color.

Yah, bro…I’m gonna get one of my teeth capped in gold, with a big QR monogram on it. Strictly for the post-race photos, of course (hee-hee).

A little bling-bling for the teeth, teeth!!

I’ve got a choice of a HED Deep, a HED disc or a HED 3, depending on the type of course.

Hey…I’m a married man. That’s the only nut-hugging I get, nowadays (hee-hee). Seriously, I wore 'em last year as a sort of homage to the 90’s. No more of 'em, now that I’m serious about the sport again. I swear!

As I recall, they were a little worn out, anyway.

Hey…my ass is much more hairy than that!!

the carpet doesn’t match those doors.

And one of the doors won’t close properly…and you got used stuff, from Monk, with his reputation, after all those stories?? ;

other than that, love the bike…;

You gonna have that flying piece of crap on the road at the TT next weekend? Serious dude that is one nice ride. You should come out and join us. And the rest of you Hawaiian mokes lurking out there need to be there too. Football Mom we understand if you aren’t here as you have to cross the big water.
Hey if Joe Z can drive in from Oakland you guys can get up a little early Sunday. Look for me on my Juan Speed track bike going slow as always. We are hoping for a good turnout so Quick Release don’t go broke. Larry, Tai ? You guys out there? Welcome Aloha G-man

…and you got used stuff, from Monk, with his reputation, after all those stories?? ;
When he opens the box he’s gonna see “SORA Triple”.

What are you doing up? Taking more ass pictures?

Getting ready to ride.

Hey–why are you up?

LOL…Sunday night stupidity.

Excellent.

The bi fold doors are crooked…

LOL…Sunday night stupidity.

SUNDAY! You guys are six days behind over there?

I had a race this morning.

**The bi fold doors are crooked… **


I live in Hawaii. I had a Feng Shui man come in and he aligned all the doors *just so *in order to make it easier for the good spirits to come in and harder for the bad spirits to bring me down.

Don’t ask. It’s a Chinese thing, apparently.
