Hey, I think maybe people in the comments are suggesting that your bike isn't great and you should use a different/better one.

I couldn't agree more. Steel is absolutely where it is at (although I do find myself lusting after some ti bikes from time to time...). One of my best friends is actually a frame builder that works exclusively with steel and he is about to start helping me build my own frame pretty soon. Here is some of his work:
Hmmm you might be right. I think I can see the "T" of Trek on the frame. He might even be wearing a Trek jersey too. My bad.
Also, to comment on your previous comment. You're right about carbon, one drop or fall and you risk toasting the frame. I'm on my second carbon frame in 4 years, but it wasn't a fall that…
appropriate use of all caps.
I SAW ONE OF THOSE IN REAL LIFE THE OTHER DAY I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
Its not that its "hard" but look how close his rotor tips are to that fence. One small error, shift in wind, or any small loss of power and he may just be dead. Add this to how finicky those motors are to heat and this situation becomes hard and dangerous. I spent three years as an Army Helicopter Crewchief and I can…
It takes money to run a race. Sponsors want to appeal to the fans. I'll just leave this little video here.
I logged a lot of childhood miles in Peugeots - a 504 wagon in the UK, another 504 wagon followed by a 104 in Holland, and a 1982 505 turbodiesel after my family moved to the US. The Euro models don't stand out in my mind as being unreliable, but the basis for comparison was a craptacular Audi 80 (B1) and my father's…
In 1975 I purchased a 1973 Peugeot 504 after a summer spent in northwestern Africa where every car seemed to be a Peugeot 504. I kept it until about 1983 when my San Francisco mechanic convinced me that the needed repairs where far more money than the resale value. The car I owned before the Peugeot was a 1963 Jaguar…
For three summers during the late 80's I lived in Italy as a "driver" for a Castle in Umbria. My ride for those three years was a Peugeot 505 wagon. Luckily it was a gas and not diesel motor with a 5spd manual. I got to power slide that bus through the mountains all summer long exploring back roads and barely there…
Ahhh memories. My uncle had a 505STi when I was a kid; white with dark blue leather. I thought it was the coolest thing in the world; it just looked so different from everything else I had been around up to that point. I made him promise me that he'd sell me that car when I turned 16 and got my license.
This is a pretty common scam. They'll grab pics from one ad which is legit, and then use them in another area to try and run a "send me $1000 and I'll ship you the car" scam. This is why if you ever see a car that is at a too good to be true price, you should run a google image search and see if it comes up in CL…
hah, I'd think it the other way around
haha gotta love when your buddies put your car on Craigslist.
