Cleaning bike, drinking beer, after nice ride on a nice day. Listening to some quiet music. Life is good. Drinking makes me melancholy.:)

Life is good, and when everything comes together at once it is even better. I am glad you are having a fantastic day. It really doesn't get much better than where you are at this moment.

I know exactly what you are talking about, buddy.

Enjoy the day - I got a cold and it stinks.

BTW, I see the markings of the "Campy Spoken Here" sign. Not a more deserving person to have it. It's also wicked sweet and wicked cool.

It might be just a picture, but it reads like a book, a damn good one. Love that Campy sign, got two myself though I must say seeing some of the Campy expertise and depth of knowledge on this forum is certainly humbling and wonderful.

An electric Merckx MX Leader, a real treat for sure!

Look at this..even cross people don't use that many discs. I thought the sponsor/marketeers had more influence, guess not in Europa.

I'm sure most/all sponsored cross riders have a stable of both for conditions..just like a quiver of wheels/tires.

For me-nope, like never, like would walk first(disc or sram).

Did it 2 years ago, after consulting some frame builders about drilling holes in this. Kinda knackered MXLeader, finish wise. Have a 'spare'..why do it? Cuz I could. After breaking back, and resulting shrinking, used barends, cuz ERGO too long. Deltas too. Charged it 3 times, ride it lots. Works everyday. Tuned it once, when I installed. Great, nifty stuff. Does it answer any questions or solve any problems...NOPE- it's just keen.

BTW-I thought of doing this after riding next to a guy who did it on a SL Ciocc...
