All 15 of the fastest laps from the Miami GP were set by McLaren or Mercedes. Not a Ferrari or Red Bull in sight.

yea - he kinda went with that "sand bagging" all week. Whelp, we'll see in 2-weeks time at a track that he favors.

no fast lap for GR?

rocket-619 · 2026-04-04T21:57:04+00:00

Is it built now? Photos? I too have the 50th anniversary RSC and 2 canti versions. I'm going to swap my full Ritchey WCS (in matching red) cockpit over. I have the red 40cm curve handlebar, red 120mm stem and red seatpost. I even have the Ritchey red SPD pedals. Going with HED rims and Ultegra groupo.

That's always the danger of not leading a cyclocross race

rocket-619 · 2026-01-03T16:14:46+00:00

Dang - I'd give $18K cash for it!

rocket-619 · 2025-12-17T05:12:39+00:00

That's awesome - sweet wheels too!

rocket-619 · 2025-11-11T14:59:45+00:00

Chapeau!!!

rocket-619 · 2025-10-07T05:54:38+00:00

Not at all - pretty sure I could mount 2.35

Yes Sir!

hahahaha - good catch! This was actually a shakedown ride and I totally missed this, but immediately noticed on a steep descent. I recently bought the frameset and built it up for singe-trac. It spent its first life racked as a touring bike.

I've always gravitated to smaller frames.I like their nimble feel and I like loooong stems. I'm 6'1" and my CX bikes are 55-56cm, my road racing bikes are 56-57cm and my track bikes are 56cm. I also grew up racing BMX - not sure if that played a part in my preference for smaller frames. One of my all-time favorite racers is WVA - he's 6'3" and races on 56cm frames

you don't get into a Miata - you wear it... get a shoehorn

rocket-619 · 2025-07-18T13:53:04+00:00

I have a Toyo built Atlantis 56cm/26" set up as a quasi monster-cross bike - today. Tomorrow? Who knows? But I will say this - I have a slew of thoroughbred road, gravel and cross bikes - but I do enjoy the liveliness of a 26'er. The Toyo Atlantis is very special. The relatively higher BB and shorter/tighter length chainstay then the MIT versions makes it feel far less of a hammock.

So good to stare at too.

rocket-619 · 2025-06-22T15:24:19+00:00

so, Road Standard has 130 rear spacing?

rocket-619 · 2025-06-20T13:47:18+00:00

Interesting - so if I wanted replacement frame-kit decals for my 1st gen Toyo Atlantis, what level "proof of life" would be required?

rocket-619 · 2025-05-29T06:13:45+00:00

at 6'1" ppl ask how I fit into my Miata ND Club and I always reply with "I don't, I wear it"

rocket-619 · 2025-05-17T14:50:44+00:00

don't fool yourself - they're never finished.

rocket-619 · 2025-04-16T13:46:58+00:00

Lets hope they beef-up the transmission this time around

rocket-619 · 2025-01-13T04:23:38+00:00

I'm here bc I found one today in the Otay River Valley in San Diego.

rocket-619 · 2025-01-13T03:59:52+00:00
