That modified Alex Singer sounds like the ideal commuting bicycle
(especially the heat-seeking missile).

I'm guessing that Q has been hard at work, modifying an Alex Singer
randonneur as follows:

There's a little door in the head tube that swings aside so that the
top-tube-mounted heat-seeking missile can be launched.

Plus, the tail end of the chainstays have been modified to include
rocket engines, powered by liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen carried

Hi,

jet lags occurs usually on flights eastwards - that is, the flight to
London. You should plan at least 36 hours to accomodate. The intensity
of your individual jet lag depends on many things, first of all is
your own body and mind. The day on the flight will be several hours
shorter than 24 hrs, so the night will arrive early. Try to sleep when

Great name! Sounds like a James Bond operation:

"So, 007- how far do you hope to ride during the first day of Granite
Anvil?"

Something Pam's fit-guy also knows is that the old skool pedals are
all heavy by current standards. Sure, heavy pedals made room for much
more expensive, deluxe, lightweight models, whether from the pedal
body or titanium axels, if you are cynical. Campagnolo, Look, Time,
and everybody else who made medals had access to the same reinforced

That's what my old grand pappy said about them durned new-fangled 3 speed
bikes. Who needs 'em - one speed works just fine! Next thing you know
they'll be makin' bikes out of al-you-minium or some other dang fool thing
like plastic! What is the world comin' to??

Re: [Randon] Multiple E3 Question

2008-10-03T23:11:40Z

You could add an external switch that shorts across one of the lights
when you do not wish to use it. That's the way the E6 secondary light
switch works. However, there's really nothing wrong with running both
E3s either on or off together. The drag is minimal and, unlike the
older halogen lights, the LEDs should come to full power at very low

This is one of the biggest fallacies in cycling, that the new stuff is
always better.
There was really nothing wrong with 9 speed stuff, let alone 8 or 7.
But now we have 11 gears in the back, all in the name of progress.
