yeah, the jerk is about to bite the bullet.....the jerk is stashing away his hard earned tax refund and selling the plantation and is about to be officially in line for.......an e-ricardo.....you chimps wanna know why?
because the jerk can't count the number of frame builders on two hands who really understand the important things that go into making racing bicycles....it really wasn't that long ago that bike builders built race bikes and not product managers....the jerk may be ornery and a rat bastard but he ain't an old man and it's pretty pathetic that supposidly world class builders design bikes around one fork rake if we're lucky....and don't even care about the ride height of the fork.....it sucks that plug in carbon fiber junk hoisted on us by the evil cabal of moron mountain bike product managers who needed to find new jobs and taiwanese tennis racket manufacturers intent on finding new uses for bond-o mean you gotta have black plastic stays in place of lighter stiffer and stronger metal ones.....because in the important races that matter mario cippolini is still riding a bike with geometry down to the millimeter that ugo de rosa or mario confente or falero masi would have put him on in 1965.......because the jerk wants to buy a bike from someone who knows more about biike design than he does....it's prett y pathetic that even when the jerk is at his most humble most product managers don't....because the jerk has used up all his favors with the wonderful folks at gita, has had enough serottas, has 2 pegorettii already and another on order....because he appreciates and is positivly jealous of the scam e-richie has on selling some of the nicest bikes in the world to some of the richest people in the world while still giving back to the sport which saved the jerk's life and being able to do it in his own house with his own hands.....and because e-richie is the freakin' man and he has coni manuals he'll trade for twizzlers....and because the jerk is going to race this season and because the jerk can...because the jerk is more excited about waiting two years for a goddamned bicycle frame than he generally has been about much of anything.
