Kind of funny to see a Bontrager part on a high-end Giant…

That's a crazy looking bike. What's up with the hollow spot on the cranks?

it's a stronglight pulsion, a lightweight carbon ISIS road crank…

they are expensive here but cheaper in germany where they're made. stronglight also sells nice replacement rings for shimano or campy cranks.

I think he is about 6'6" or 6'7" - on a bike with normal geometry like a trek or cannondale he would be on a 64cm frame…

my nuts and my back hurt just looking at that.

Being an agoraphobic adrenaline junkie would be pretty convenient, because you could get your rush from just going to the store to get some milk instead of having to jump off a mountain or out of an airplane.

they also call me "balloon"
