The Official DMF Bicycle Thread

[fastwin]

Damn I love his videos!!! Am I am huge fan of Danny. I have posted up his other older vids on the video thread. And have forwarded them to a 100 friends. As I have said many times before, he just sees the world in a completely different way than other humans. He sees an old ironworks or a park or set of steps or anything as just his personal playground. How freaking cool is that? Beyond mad skillz and the videos are always top shelf.

Got the CX finished up last week.  New shifters, TRP brakes, Challenge tires, and a set of $200 CL Zipp tubies:


Also working on building up my new track frame for the velodrome that's under construction down the road.  Supposed to be finished in January.

I hate you.









   Kidding.  Very happy for you that you have such a spectacular steed!

I don't know whether to be more jealous of your beautiful CX rig, the screaming deal you got on a set of Zipps (assuming you didn't drop a digit there...), or that you've got a velodrome under construction near you...






Aw hell, I'll just choose all of the above.

Thanks for the compliments. It was an '09 leftover that I got a smoking deal on just before last season.

The front hub was toast- picked up a Rolf 18 hole on ebay for $30 and rebuilt it, so actually more like $230.  They're 440's, the predecessor to the 404- since picking these up I've seen others on ebay and CL for a little more than I spent.  According to a buddy that's a Zipp dealer, he's seen them warranty these even though they're 10 years old.

Here's a vid on the velodrome construction- 250m, infield tunnel....awesome:

While I suck at track racing, I have to say that some of the most exhilarating moments I've ever experienced on two wheels happened during a couple of trips to the velodrome at Trexlertown, PA.

Have fun!!!!

It's been way too long since big-time bike racing criss-crossed Colorado - this is gonna be fun! From the photos of yesterday's stage:

Picked up my first human powered bike in over 10 years... decided to go relatively cheap at first and picked up a Trek 7.1fx.

Decided it was time to avoid the pine box.  Quit smoking, completely revamped the diet and picked up a bike.  It's only been 10 days, and I'm already planning for a drop bar roadie.

Only pic I have.  On the grocery getter last weekend, headed to visit the 'rents.

Good choice, looks a lot like the Giant Rapid I got. 

BTW, what's that grey thing in the background?

Looks like a garage.

If you're talking about the gray concrete structure in the top left of the picture... That's the base of a gigantic f'n water tower that started going up last fall.

Unless DRKWNG is correct, and this is the first time you've seen a garage.

Great racing so far in the USAPCC! 

Hopefully the lads who had getoffs today aren't too seriously injured.

Looking forward to my course marshal responsibilities on Sunday in Golden.

[Randimus Maximus]

Great racing, great crowds, great event!

Can't wait until next year's USA Pro Cycling Challenge
