still ride 4000-5000miles/year
my bikes currently include
Litespeed Ghisallo DA
Litespeed Tachyon DA
Seven Aerios (12.5lbs with the Reynolds KOM tubies) DA
Seven Aerios Record (that's right I have 2 Aerios)
Merlin Lunaris DA
Kestrel Evoke Ult
Cannondale R800 Ult
Specialized S-works MTB XTR
Klein Attitude XTR
my Reynolds KOM and Bontrager Aeolus wheels have uniD CF. Don't care for C50 as I have the President. Don't care too much for CF so i don't go for Cervelo or Giant.
well? Is it mark or Mike Cavendish? genius?

Two words that will resume what I think: OLD SCHOOL.
My advice to you is: Don't stop training.
For your information, Lemond is no longer racing, he is fat dude that is eats ice cream and rides 4-5K miles a year.

How do you know about stiff bikes?
The bottom brackets of all of your bikes are stiff as butter. They all flex like hell.

One last question to you?

did you find false info in any of my post??????
show me!!
I prefer my bikes comfortable. Don't race anymore. Don't care about stiff BB. I like Ti for its characteristic. Do you have problem with random people on the interweb?
and FYI, the Dale and Kestrel BB are plenty stiff for 99.99% of riders out there. Unless you're cat 1/pro don't be trying to sound like a poser saying Dale is flexy. Good enough to win TdF stage sprint, good enough for me.
here you go. Some of my bikes.

sorry if riding 5000 miles is not enough for you.
last time I check Canadian hasn't won any Grand Tour.
Armstrong and Lemond won 10. Hamsten kicked ass at Giro in the snow. Cipollini won more stage in one TdF than the entire Canadian Country for the past 100 years. Now you attacked Lemond. Is it jealousy?
what bikes do YOU ride? let's see some proofs? You can't even spell "Mark Cavendish"

so?? where was this "bad advice"?
One must have a $18K bike to be a "rider"? respected racers are now dissed by you because they're "old school"? you sound like a snob. Let me tell you something: Super Mario would dust your ass on a Kmart Bike. a racer from the 80's with their downtube shifter and their 25lbs Columbus steel bike would laugh at you.

don't know / don't care about mt Wash.
you sound like an ass attacking respected racers just because they're retired.
I don't care how good you are but I know you are not good enough to be talking trash about retired racers. You obviously not a pro since I have never heard of you. Mario made millions on his bike. How much have you made?
Lemond too made millions riding and now selling bikes. he won numerous races including world champion and grand tours but I guess he need to add Mt Wash to his resume to gain respect from a guy no one has ever heard of.
still waiting for proof of my alleged "bad advice".
