Real Name: Dave
Where do I live: Spokane Valley, WA (eastern WA, the dry side)
Explanation of forum handle: Don't know...sounded good.
Explanation of avatar: I come in peace but don't easily suffer fools.
Age: Just celebrated the 31'st anniversary of my 30th birthday.
Occupation: I sell single use medical devices including closed system hazardous drug transfer devices (for chemotherapy). That's a mouthful.
How did I find the Paceline: Dave Thompson alerted me to it when I was selling my Eisentraut and had listed on CL locally. I haven't been the same since.
Favorite bike: 2001 Serotta Legend Ti. I bought the ffh from a forumite and built it with Campy Chorus 11s. Heavenly.
What's in the stable: I now only have a 1989 Bridgestone 550 with first generation Shimano 105 indexed shifting, Avocet wheels, a bunch of Suntour stuff. Really a good and fun bike.
Fastest speed on my bike: Far too fast for an old guy: 95.77 kph (59.5 mph) on the last downhill stretch of a local century on brand new and very smooth tarmac and a bit of a tailwind. I have pictures.
How many miles last year: 4,020, including a 150 miler and a personal century best of 5 hours 18 minutes.
Here I am 2014 vs 1978 (hair before helmets, on my bitchin' Takara Tour 12) :
Make up an answer to one question: Sometimes.
Biggest lie: "Honey, this bike is a great deal for $ (pick your seriously understated amount)."
Something fun: My wife just started riding with me and SHE LIKES IT! Woo hoo!
