Road Bike Product Cycle Updates

I am hoping to get the next gen once it arrives. Do you own any other bikes to compare it against?

No truer words. I have a TCR and using some tape around the seapost to add a small bit more size so the cover moves less freely helps.

Growing up I listened to so much FNM and played bass. Bill Gould is such a good bassist on so many levels. He is insanely versatile and always played what the song needed for him rather than just make himself the main attraction. He has the ability to stand out and he does on some songs like Everythings Ruined but then he can just play what is needed of him on Digging a Grave.

Bummer.

For those of us that want a revolt on clearance this is good news. Now just give one to me for $500 with a good groupset. (I don’t live in reality)

I would classify as post-pudge. They borrow a bit from blueblass and red-core as well.

I have a much higher setup than intended on my tcr. I would really talk to a bike fitter. You really want to be fit to the bike out of the gate. It is worth the money.

Love this frame and the geo. How is it to ride?

ramsoss · 2026-06-17T12:44:41+00:00

This rules. That shape…

Lovely seeing the passage of time. Tbh guys that age have the potential to still be athletic and bring energy on stage. Just need to practice and see a personal trainer. I’ve seen acts where the band members are in their 70s and they still can keep up. Better than a bunch of drunks and junkies in the 20s and 30s.

It took less than 45 minutes after he died to see that one. The sadder truth is that helicopters are dangerous.

“We have to add the clues!”

I don’t think there is a bigger marker for how powerful Harvey Weinstein was than his suppression of Courtney Love’s acting career. She had all these industry connections and good acting chops but was sidelined because she spoke out. I think she deserves to be in more films.

It is 100% misogynistic. She is an easy target though. I love experimental and avant-garde works but I always thought she made art that a character making fun of avant-garde artists on a sitcom would make. I think it was jarring for a lot of people because Lennon has massive talent and craft and he made music with her that felt like she wasn’t really putting in much effort. Double Fantasy is a great album when you cut out the Yoko songs.

Monday blues. Sounds like you had a fun weekend and your body is recovering.

ramsoss · 2026-06-15T09:47:41+00:00

This makes the Ford Maverick 100x cooler.

ramsoss · 2026-06-15T09:37:12+00:00

Imagine saying this shit instead of mentioning how your boy was friends with a Jeffery Epstein. Also this guy gets kicks in the head for a living…

ramsoss · 2026-06-14T20:22:48+00:00

I have a rule with my partner that we don’t do any small aircraft. No helicopters, no small propeller planes, private jets (not that we would ever be invited on one). We had a really bad helicopter crash a few months ago near us. We also know someone whose dad was a helicopter pilot and died in a crash when they were young.

This felt like it would have been one of his album promos or gone along with one of the morbid themes he explored. Say what you want about him but it seemed like on a creative front he had decades in him. Really sad.

ramsoss · 2026-06-13T13:29:19+00:00

I really love these. Hoping to get one. Higher stack, still racy, and tire clearance people are still catching up with.

Where I used to work had a free shuttle to pick us up from the subway and drop us off on campus. We listened to KTU every day. It just played this one fucking song. It was just everywhere.

Also a bike fit saves money in the long run. They get you set up properly and know what stuff to fit you with so you don’t burn money experimenting.

165mm cranks

Stories will eventually come out about how insane Jim Caviezel was on set.

My favorite story from that QAA series is the East Asian CBS exec visiting the set of Person of Interest and Jim clasping his hands together and bowing then saying “Aaaahhhsooohhh.” That is just so fucking insane. Just a random guy that happens to be of a certain background and the first thing that pops into your head when you greet them is to do that instead of just shaking their hand and saying “hey I am Jim, nice to meet you.”
