LONG

Yeah, that won't be too confusing in a sprint.

Yeah, that was my first thought too. How do you make that logical and still have enough throw to qucikly sweep through gears?

How about a minature stick-shift on top of each brake hood? Oh wait. Modolo already has that.

oh dip! MODOLO - truly old school!!

Campagnolo's thumb actuator can sweep through the gears and is positioned to be quite usable from the drops. Perfect in sprints....

oh parke, you geek, you never sprinted for anything in your life...dont even call what you had, a sprint!

Parke said...

Clearly you don't/never did know me...

Anonymous said...

thats just it you pud, i did know you....you were friends with jimmy and ross and rode some white bike, had big ears....again, dont even call what you had a sprint.

Anonymous said...

you went to some private school, thought you were all smart....yeah i dont know you huh????????

Parke said...

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Sorry.

Parke said...

Oh wait, I do kinda remember a Ross on Signet. Long ponytail?
Jimmy... not so much. Wish I could be more the villain you want. 'you from RVA?

Parke said...

Oh, and why does it seem like everyone remembers everyone else on a white bicycle?
Erik, did you have a white Cannondale track bike at oine time or am I suffering from it too?

Parke said...

The point is, I think you've got me mixed up with someone else, Anonymous.
Who are you?

Anonymous said...

is your last name rhoades or spelled something along those lines? come on dude, i do remember you, i remember all you guys....what is RVA, yeah ross had a ponytail....i know you, you had no sprint....its ok though, i still think your funny...

Parke said...

I think you've got me amalgamated with a few other people...
And (besides uphill coasting) sprinting is just about the only thing I can do well. If you knew me you'd remember Thursday track nights.
This is fun and all but it's time to move on.
Oh, and grow some nuts/ovaries and at least identify yourself. That way, if anyone ever did know you, we could chat about this/that.

Parke said...

now THAT'S funny.

The next question is: adult as in "XXX", or adult as in "I just upgraded to small text and no pictures"?

We really should move along here, folks.

no its adult, tasteful xxx if you will, its soft, not hard and gorey, tasteful....mature. no web based pay sites, just adult fiction and fantasy. my business partner and I are considering a club too. Zoning down here in Va beach is a bear though for this kind of business. anyway, what are you up to? Living in Mass is sounds like. do you hear from any of the old guys from the team?
laters,
