    That’s what I figure :) I e-mailed the person to see if I can go look at it this weekend.

    KOW, LeMonds do tend to have longer top tubes, but I think they shortened it for the Poprad. You can also get shorty stems (70mm?) if the reach is too long. If it’s in good condition like they said in the ad I think it’s a really good deal, steel frame CX with 105. Good luck – I hope you get a great deal.

    Make sure to drive (I assume you’re driving) with your hand at the top of the steering wheel so you can do the quick Carroll County Wave to any oncoming traffic. Failure to wave back may cause locals to wonder what in the heck is wrong with you. You may also nod your head slightly as you wave (do it at the same time – head goes down, hand goes up) if the oncoming driver is particularly attractive, or has a bike rack on the car, or anything else like that. It is not recommended to do the full Wave (chin on your chest, arm and hand fully outstretched above your head) in the car, as it is both unsafe to take your eyes off the road like that, and difficult to get full hand extension without a convertible.

    This was all explained to me years ago by a lifelong Carroll County resident, and it has served me well.

    This sounds alarming, like driving in the Midwest.

    Of course, anything west of Balmer IS the Midwest :D

    It’s not you, it’s him. Change your hair style, go out with friends, drink some wine! Stop thinking about him and move on.

    It’s because I don’t use Lysol, isn’t it? :(

    Am I reading that right? Lysol? Feminine hygiene?! And I thought the Summers Eve ads were bad.

    Good looking but that bike might not have been a keeper anyway. Setup too aggressive, for me anyway. My old back prefers the handlebar at about the same height as the saddle. Or something. (acc comment?)

    Sadly, I knew about this and still put a jersey in the bag for Purple Hearts that got picked up yesterday. It wasn’t so much ugly as comically bad fitting. You would have to be shaped like an upside down triangle for it to fit.

    Maybe I have some other ill fitting jerseys . . . will have to check the drawers . . .

    Anybody know what they typically send back? A jersey or just a t-shirt?

    Hmmm…do POS Performance brand jerseys count as “ugly”?

    So I send them $36 and a jersey, and they send me whatever jersey they have on clearance that week, their choice? Hmm.
