You should tell these folks that ~serious racers~ ride smaller bikes for that superior stiffness and weight savings. Plus it makes your slammed stem look that much cooler.

Oh I do! Well, to all 3 people who came asking about RDBs of any kind since May. I mostly sell Marlin 5s to suburbanites like most any American LBS

to be honest I bet a lot of people don't measure themselves or go to the doctor where they measure your height very often (or do it with you wearing shoes) and at some point just assumed they're a certain height and that's what they say despite never measuring themselves

Most men don’t wear 6” shoes

I'm 6'1" and I had a co-worker who was shorter than me get mad because he insisted he was 6'1" and therefore I must be taller than that.

I would gladly give up an inch or two to hit my head on less stuff, have less stress on my joints, and have the lower cancer risk, and I can't even imagine wanting to be taller than that.

The only good race pace is suicide pace, and today looks like a good day to die
I'm going to buy my first big boy cycling shoes this weekend and I was probably leaning towards the Torch 3.0 since I know my LBS stocks them and I need to try on some sizes. Anything I should consider before I go in for the fitting? Should I bring in my bike at the same time? Should I consider a different brand/style if they have them?

I don't have pedals - there's a pair of old Keo pedals on Craigslist for $35 that I was thinking about buying until I can get Assioma Duos, but given that I'd have to buy cleats too I may end up just buying some Keo Classic pedals for $60-70.

I was going to wait until this was a bit more finalized to post but it’s moving a bit faster than I expected and there’s a minimum order of 10 so trying to get as much interest as I can.

I’m putting together a stupid jersey, cost should be $25+ shipping. It’s through a china kit company called Racmmer I have a few jerseys from, they’re real nice even by normal jersey standards let alone chinakit.

I’ll put together a google form for sizes once the design is finalized and the order is ready to go, but I wanted to see if there was any interest now to get the ball rolling

updated the design and moved the fake sponsors to the back:

I used to be 6'2" and age has shrunk me to just under 6'1". Still, when I tell people (especially women) that I'm 6'1" I always, always get, "No that can't be right. Bob/Marc/Tim/Whoever is 6'1". You must be at least 6'4"."
