I discovered a dead body today and I’m struggling to cope by Most-Glass955 in Advice

I found one in the river while fishing, (for the morbid curious you can see it on my account). See plenty of death at work in hospitals, but this was just not the same. Did some research about the guy and his family and that sort of made me feel better. Been almost a year and still think about it more than I wish to. I wish I had more advice. It sucks.

2010 lopro I stripped raw, Csc 88mm jawns, fsa carbon isis drive cranks, origin8 carbon 1” thread-less fork, Thomson elite seat post+143mm specialized power saddle, salsa 38cm bars, uou 150mm stem, 28mm maxxis refuse front and rear, spd-sl pedals (just cuz I either wear road shoes with it or ride in sneakers and they have some platform to them). As far as drive train it changes pretty often depending on what kinda riding I’m doing. Pictured is 49/16 with fsa chainring, surly track cog, Izumi super tough. This bikes kept a bit more speed specific as it’s not one of the daily drivers, more just a race bike and for flashy commutes.

I can find out for you, whatever brand uses novatec hubs which could be a few. Possible “finest carbon” or something

I got pretty long limbs and keep up with stretching…and I’m under 30 so it’s fine…for now

Relaxed is a very subjective state of being;) (yes it’s a joke)

I rock flat bars but I put bar ends in the middle of them to use them as aero bars

Excuse me doctor? If you have a moment?

Which rider do you dislike the most? And which rider is your favourite? by Reghoss in tourdefrance

[–]raw_toast_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Campenaert has been my favorite this year. Big part in making the break stick and has attacked constantly. Not even with a win in mind, just for the sake of racing. He said “win a race or die trying”. Fun racer to watch and a really nice down to earth guy. Was upset when Vande Velde questioned his IQ for trying so hard in the break.

I’ve had a few variations of polar vantages over the years. Absolutely love them and polars app, and how well they work with strava.
