Hoo boy, the "L Word" is not permitted in this house after Greg slagged off on Lance. Lance is worshipped around here. (Husband loves Lance the way I love Rush. Yeah, it's that serious. The dog is named after Armstrong).

I once asked my husband what he would do if he somehow acquired a LeMond bike for free. He said, "Sell the bitch on eBay and get a Trek. I wouldn't even throw a leg over the LeMond!"

 

He actually got this bike for a fraction of what it should have cost. It's practically new, and he traded tennis and sport coaching to get it.

I had a great ride today along the Bridgewater Canal from Stockton Heath to Altrincham, and got a new pic of Gabe wub.gif

Complete with mudguard, which he's had for nearly 3 months now, but I was waiting for it to be sunny enough to get another pic. tongue.gif

 

He also has his name now:

Close, but not quite $2K.

 

I can say this though, if you're a serious cycling enthusiast, you will definitely notice the quality of your ride with the more dollars you spend.

True that!

 

No comparison in a top end bike & a $300 ride.
