really cool bike karlooz....what kind of frame is it...my uncle is looking to get a new bike before his next season of racing...might be one of his options...

 

the one in the picture is a giant TCR carbon, excellent bike for the money. don't use that one anymore (you know how it goes, want something new). i now have a scott cr1 and an orbea orca... both carbon. can you tell this is my other hobby? . i think my wife wishes i just kept the hobbies restricted to cycling... it's much cheaper than tracking/car modding

 

actually my uncle is riding a Giant TCR carbon, but with gold and silver graphics...but that bike is the really great for the $$$...I saw a scott CR1 and they look great...they're really light...are you in a club or...

 

ya, don't care for the new paint schemes. mine is an '03 model which i stripped and clear coated.

i am off an on with altovelo (mostly off, you know... work and stuff). this year has been a bad cycling year but i am trying to make up for it. soon i'll be back in the club rides and maybe do a TT.

 

awosme...don't they usually do TT on canada rd??

 

yup, that's my usual route home from cupertino. the TT procedes go to the lance armstrong foundation.

 

i would love to try to TT someday...i heard it is really hard as you are riding at 90-90% of you max HR, but never herts to try...

 

I love the CF on your bike.... where does your plate go after you set up the bike rack?

Yeah, the M is a beast... Always wanted to test her against a stock TT though. I ran against iLLM3's TT and it pulled away hard on me, but his car is insanely fast for a stgII

 

way to rep the 3.4's! ....one day I'll join you among the SC'd ranks......

 

carlooz, didn't know you are a cycling fein as well. me too. been a ti addict for 10 years (seven, merlin, moots: thus mooty). just moved to carbon, c50 and time ulteam, all with c-records.

 

hey mooty how does your seven ride??? like i posted before my uncle is looking for the next race bike and seven is on top of his list...he is looking at a custom elium race...any comments about the seven???

 

the only story i can tell is the one where GaryFL's stage 4.3562 TT smokes the pants off my SC

the TT's have sooooo much more torque than our SC'd cars. i haven't run a stock TT yet (no one seems to leave them stock) but I bet it would still be close....

 

ahh the plate is now on there. that pic was old. here's one from this morning. the plate is in it's usual location but covered.

 

from the line, stock TT vs 996SC, i believe the TT would win BECAUSE of the torque.

i was in my powerband when this all happened and it was only from 40 to 90 mph . wasn't a REAL race but out accelerated him.

 

yup. cycling fiend is right.

ahh ha. i finally get your online handle. makes sense now.

i've tried Ti (litespeed siena full ti and siena w /carbon stays). not my thing. felt too bendy.
