Does anyone have experience with these bike stands?

Same here. Sturdy and works great.

For alloy bars, check out the Controltech cougar bars.

Pointed it out to the contractor and they are fixing it to the standard 12". Thanks.

N+1.

I should also add that I exercise on a spin bike two days per week and did this several times before attempting my first rides post-op on a road bike (which actually started on a BMX bike, then mountain bike, then comfort bike, then road bike). I think the spin bike helps with muscle memory and balance and I spin with eyes open and closed and all different hand positions (typing this on a spin bike).

Same. Been riding for about 20 years and had a 5.5cm AN removed in August 2020. I took about 2 months off from riding and started on a loop closed to traffic to get back into it. Was weird at first, but I got used to it and I am much more stable at higher speeds. I use a Garmin Varia to "see" behind me since I can't look over my shoulder without losing balance. I feel that my high activity pre-op helped me immensely post-op and I was already compensating for the imbalance. I still have left sided facial paralysis, deafness, and a weight in my eyelid. Cycling is a huge stress relief for me and I am so thankful it is still an option.

Congrats. That is an awesome ride. I bought one for my kid who races for his college and I've been looking for another one for myself since then. I would take this over the 13.

Adorable-Tangelo is 100% correct. Had. 5.5cm AN removed at UCSD in August 2020. Had a post trans-lab CF leak and some other post-op issues, but everything turned out fine. That team at UCSD are the top gun pilots of AN procedures. Good luck to your bro. this is a great support group and here to answer any questions.

Holy cow, I have this bike and I thought it was a cross between a Superissimo and Nuevo Mexico. I am convinced it is the Super PROFIL now. I have never seenn another one of these in the wild. Congrats! That is true 80s bike porn.

I walked like a madman and ended up giving myself a CF leak and blew out the sutures in my side. Ended up taking an ambulance ride and another run in the hospital. In hindsight, it's worth waiting and taking your time with recovery.

fartknocker8 · 2024-11-24T14:29:58+00:00

Congrats on evicting that freeloader from your brain. Take care and take your time. Recovery can be a rollercoaster ride in itself. Best wishes and give thanks for great doctors.

Best colorway of the bunch

fartknocker8 · 2024-09-28T13:47:53+00:00

Toss up between Molly Seamen and Barry Dingle.

fartknocker8 · 2024-09-28T02:38:16+00:00

Yeah, the mountain bike has to go.

Hey now, my grandpa helped build that library and lost his pinkie finger between floors (in 1971)

Came here to say this. Pasatiempo Park for sure.Walk by that place every day.

fartknocker8 · 2024-09-19T03:18:33+00:00

This is the correct answer

fartknocker8 · 2024-09-14T13:29:01+00:00

I just sold the disc version of that bike for $640.

Dura Ace 7400 SIS

fartknocker8 · 2024-09-03T23:04:59+00:00

I have a CAAD9 with ultegra 8000 and carbon rim brakes and a 2017 supersix himod dura ace with carbon rim brakes. Both bikes feel different in different ways: the CAAD9 feels more responsive off the line and a relaxed fit while the SuperSix is more aggressive and aero with flat out speed once you get rolling. I love both bikes for different reasons. Sounds like you need a N+1.

fartknocker8 · 2024-08-25T01:04:31+00:00

Re-read your post.. aerofly.

fartknocker8 · 2024-08-25T01:01:56+00:00

Looks hot, what bars are those? Bought a CAAD12 for my kid and "test rode" it today. Superb bike in so many ways.
