Caution!!! Spandex content!

I was reading the "decline of the Turner forum" thread and figured that if more people want pictures...we should post them up. I don't post many of mine because I felt I didn't do the normal crazy stuff with my Sultan that everyone seems to like. However after thinking about it, hell, we should all just start posting up ride pics. It is raining like hell here and all I have is my computer and the stuff you all post to keep me going.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours....

Pics from Saturdays Deer Valley XC race.

Even more from Sundance....tired of the spandex yet? Post your own then!

Nice pics. Lots of us wear the lycra proudly.

 

[Dibbs_]

Great pics. And I wear lycra, only under my gnar baggies though.

LYCRA RULES FOR RACING AND ROAD. ....... WORD :thumbsup:

 

[LncNuvue]

Thanks for the post. I ride with a few lyrca strapped dudes... they would be much better riders if they wore baggies

 

[PuddleDuck]

Nice! Keep 'em coming

 

[swan lee]

Yeah, racing! Bring on the dw nitrous DT!
Pity the people in the second pic clearly don't appreciate a blinged up Turner.

like the gold headset and hubs with the brown frame

Nice pics, I like racing stoke. Its not all about jumping/hucking off things.




I can do without lots of spandex though...

 

[yogiprophet]

What do you mean caution spandex. is there any other material to ride in? I was told long ago that if you get off the back and wore baggies, you would get them caught on the saddle...was i told wrong?
Baggies are for people with adjustable seatposts.
Thanks for the pics. I hope you are enjoying racing the Sultan :thumbsup:

IMO - nothing beats lycra bibs for racing comfort and heat control. Baggies are nice too, but not in hot weather.

Are you supposed to shave your legs if you race in spandex/lycra?

Anyway - back on topic. Non-DW Sultan at the races....

Go Army!!!

My wife told me once that if I ever shaved my legs, she'd stop shaving hers until her leg hairs were the same length as mine used to be. I have never been tempted since:eekster:

I have the black Army Strong jersey with the yellow stripe as well. I often get mistaken for Lance Armstrong while wearing that (Live Strong) so I have to be judicious when I break that one out.

I didn't realize the high res images the professional photog would take at the races would amplify my wookie-ness. I have enough leg hair to be a distant cousin to Chewbaca.

I think some years in the future, 29ers might catch on and be more accepted as an alternate form of the bicycle.

 

[Silentfoe]

I finally did it. I broke under 27lbs! Ok, just barely but it is still under. Everything is all in place, no cheating here. I could lose a bit more if I went to a hollowpin chain or a KMC 9ti chain. I'll wait until the current one wears out.

Pics for proof. Sorry for the crappy quality.

This is an XL by the way.

 

[Silentfoe]

Some pics from my Park City ride this week. Proof I'm not always in lycra.

 

[yogiprophet]

Man, my XXL is a beast...it's easily the heaviest bike I have ever owned.
With that said, it is also the fastest

Saturdays race at Solitude Ski Resort. I've never climbed so much in my life. 1600ft of elevation every 6 mile lap. I had to do three of them. I'm still dead. This great shot was at least a happy downhill moment. I'm still not smiling though

 

[yogiprophet]

1600 feet in a 6 mile lap. That sounds very steep both ways. Did you run out of gears on the way up?
I bet you were passing people on the way down.
