Speed Yellow or Team Yellow would be my vote. Mango is nice, too, but too close to the Orange, I think.

The white frame, best as I can tell from the catalogs, is a 1986 SR400. The catalog shows a picture of Connie Carpenter posing with a white bike that may well be an SR400. The black frame, I'm not sure. It could be an R200, but there was also an R300 that year with Galaxy Black paint with Teal...

Nah, I'm wrong. The black frame also has the 97-99 headtube decal, I think. The rightmost, the R2000 in the fuschia/silver, appears to be a 1993, based on an internet image search.

Not really, so far as I know. And to explain, since in looking back at my first post about this all, the pulmonary embolisms came long after the heart attacks. The first heart attack was in 2006, the second (thankfully, much more minor, though my cardiologist would argue that none are minor) in...

Saw this when I expanded my Craigslist search area out to 300 miles from my local area. I am very tempted by the price. That 2022 Shimano 105 group, new, even now sells for $900 or so online from Performance Bike Shop and others, so it would be easy to get back the money paid for the collection...

Really? I don't consider it inspirational. I hate to exercise, the bike indoors is a boring torture rack and outdoors it is a risk-filled terror that's cost me a bunch in medical bills. But I do it. I really shouldn't be so self-deprecating. I didn't grow up being exposed to sports - Dad...

So far as "indoor trainer routine", it's pretty simple for me. Do some stretching, put on my shoes and gloves, grab a towel for sweat duty, get on, clip in, start the pedals turning and turn OFF the brain until the timer on the iPhone signals 45 minutes. (Actually did 50 minutes last night so I...

Hm. I get on the bike four times a week now, but I never seem to go anywhere. ;) R600 still on the wind trainer (an old Performance Bike Shop Travel Trac wheel-on thing). I do 45 minutes an evening Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. It's boring torture, but I can see improvements - I've...

They're not round at the end because they have internal cable routing, and the shape of the end of the aerobar allows the cable to pass through. I should have taken a picture before I took them all apart. Here's a link to a picture where you can soort of see the bulge in the carbon tube...

I finally figured out that an Allen bolt holds the bar-ends to the aerobars. I took the levers off, loosened the bolts and they came off easily. Of course, the front is a standard Light Action shifter, the rear has the loop-switch to change from SIS to friction, common to the time. Here's a...

It looks like someone cut off the top of the post already (no seat rail clamping mechanism), and it's a pseudo-aero seatpost - round tube with a sheet-metal "fairing" to fit the aero seat tube. I may be able to remove the sheet metal and free it up, but I'll wait 'til I get the parts off it. I...

I know I should *never* look at bike stuff on Craigslist, but here we are.... Saw a post on Craigslist here in Tulsa that I kept an eye on for a while, then when the price dropped I decided to go for it. People had a 52cm Cervelo P2K aluminum time trial/triathlon bike that they were selling...

Much better. Still a few aches if I rotate it too much, but the orthopedist says to continue to work on flexibility and range-of-motion and that should clear up. I don't have to wear the sling any longer, either, which is nice.

Finally! Six weeks later, I have a clean(ish) bill of health. Saw the orthopedist yesterday, and he says I'm healing fine. He showed me the x-rays they did yesterday, and you can see a fracture (non-displaced) of the head of the radius in my left forearm. He says that it is calcifying well and...

Let me know what you find out, and we can maybe work a deal.

I see. I shouldn't have said anything, but I had been thinking about a mountain-ish bike.

Would one of the rear shocks you're selling fit this frame?

I thought I'd adjusted the tension as low as it would go, but I did have the bike into the shop to get the stuff corrected after the first crash into the fence. They shouldn't have changed that, but who knows? I'll double-check. I'm healing slowly. Most of the bruising and hematoma/road rash...

It looks like you should be able to loosen the bolts on the rack plate (or whatever the weight-bearing area is called), slide the tongue forward and bolt to the bridge above the cantilever brake. That would rotate the rack backward and level it out. Then tighten all the bolts.

I think I'm developing a mental block about riding. After recovering for a couple of weeks after my last crash, I finally decided to go out for a short, easy ride Saturday afternoon. Wouldn't you know it, I fell off the bike *again*. At least this time I wasn't going fast and didn't hit a...
