This bike has been with multiple PLers. I bought from Clean late 2020 but SamIAm is stamped on the BB:

My Time VRS has passed through several Paceliners' hands--it started (I think) as SBash's brother's bike, then Wolfman and finally from Virtual Elvis to me. This is still a pretty sweet ride--although I had a crap season because of health and did not get out on it very much...

Surprisingly, despite an awful lot of gawking at the other fabulous bikes that change hands on the forum, this is only one of two that I have picked up. (I'm somewhat lucky in that Clean's frames are too big!)

I think Team Stampede Tomii is one of these PL bikes? And possibly the Aero English I also appropriated. But I am vauge on the English's path to me, beyond my purchase.

Tomii, In reverse order.

Me, Fishbolish, eBauman? Maybe some between Eric's team use and Fishbolish??

Sassenach ??

I thought it had been yours at one point! But wasn't sure.

I see nothing but a lot of folks with ill fitting bikes. Too much post, not enough post, too much stem, not enough stem and so on

The problem with serotta was the bike fitting

None of us are that special...and that was the issue

Great build quality, too much trust in the fitters

Exclamation

It's like farting church, not a popular opinion. But...if you don't have enough seatpost to put your bike in a stand, it's too big for the user

Unpopular...but I don't care. Serotta revolutionized bike fit, and enabled some interesting options, and but there are tons of bad fits as a result

I will pile on. A Sachs in this color instead of red is on the bucket list. I love my Peg but lugs & a steel fork- yowza gimme gimme. If it fit Dan I can ride it.
