UnkieT, how's the Felt?!

Also, where's the cheapest (best) place to buy shoes/pedals and the like? And what's the name of the place you went to get the F95? Thinking about test riding one here soon...
So far, so good. I need about 1/8th - 1/4 inch height change on the bars, but that's about it.

I bought a bunch of stuff from the bike shop, since they have a 15% discount on stuff within the first month you buy the bike. . .

However, I plan on buying a lot of stuff from:

1. Sports Basement - they have a discount with my work badge. Great service.
2. Chain Reaction - their stuff is expensive, but when it goes on sale, look out.

I bought the bike at Cognition Cyclery in Mountain View. They had 2-3 F95s; a lot of places do, just not in 56cm.

Bah. 99% sure I'm 56cm. Though I think you're an inch or two taller than me

No, because you can't believe it, it is in fact, surreal.

Thank you, drive through to the first window.

Before I answer the question, I need you to compare the following two items:


1.) a pot brownie from Amsterdam for about 8 Euro

2.) a bacon-wrapped sausage from a Norwegian 7-11 for about Femte Kroner (NO).

Please provide said comparison with a clear assertion of preference, and make sure said statement is under 100 words in length.

even though you didn't ask me

I'd go with the brownie. Bacon and sausage are amazing, and together they are orgasmic. However, the pleasant taste fades once you finish your meal. There is no pleasant feeling headed your way as you digest. A brownie provides so much more lasting satisfaction.

I would go with the pot brownie for 8 euro since I'm a jew, and therefore not a fan of bacon.

Now, for those of you reading who are not espelirS2k, it would be fair to wonder what I'm trying to get at with this particular line of questioning.

There are notable difference between the two bikes. Within that, is a matter of bias. I'm attempting to ferret out said bias.

That's too bad.

What you see may not be what you get with the brownie. So too, might a 6-6 if it is used for the even-money as the F95.

The sausage is cheaper, readily available, and if you don't like it, you're not out that much dough (and it'll pass out of your system faster).

Without pulling the jew card, I'd still say the pot brownie. I've never, ever, been a fan of bacon. Plus a pot brownie just seems way more fun than bacon wrapped sausage.
