    Re: Re: Keep talking. It wasn't directed at you, it was directed at everybody. Just avoid anything that smacks of "making fun" of somebody, or somebody's comment(s).

    Guys, You've all done a great job of keeping the conversation civil since the thread has reopened. I've only had to do a little editing here and there (while watching over the thread like a mother hen). Lately, though, it's starting to get back into sarcasm and accusation, and we can't be...

    Re: I see he's wearing his Della Santa shirt in that pic. Della Santa is a custom frame builder of long repute in NorCal. Classic Italian racing geometry. There used to be a shop, recently closed, alas, in San Francisco that would measure you for and sell you a Della Santa. Its owner, Len...

    Re: Re: I don't see how mentioning Holodomor would be "starting something". Not with me, anyway. For one thing, in the US and Europe, the Holocaust features in school lessons and popular movies and TV shows. You can't sit through a modern history class without hearing about it, so your parents...

    Re: Re: If I'm not mistaken, the horses mouth didn't say 92.5. That's an exact, scientific sounding number, but the horses mouth said. "92, 93, 94". So where did 92.5 come from? It came from the article written about LeMond. Apparently, 92 was the minimum number given by LeMond, and .5 was...
