What have we done- I mean what has John G. done? This mutated beast was submitted by an astute listener- this half cross/half time trial rig was spotted near Bigfoot’s campsite. These are known to be highly elusive and potentially dangerous, approach with caution if you encounter such a vehicle.
In this post Interbike podcast the Two Johns recap the Squadra Azzrurri domination in Varese, Cross Vegas, Interbike and the usual quality listener feedback from the likes of a refined Brit named ‘Grey*******’, a very emotional message about a bike possibly crying, what WAS Greg doing?, and a mail bag full of other good questions, answers and comments. As usual the listener feedback of the week is rewarded with a pair or two of Defeet Slipstreams & socks.
John G. petrochemicals should be burned, not worn!
That’s nothing. At the shop I work in, a guy brought in a Cannondale Bad Boy urban hybrid (with a HUB gear) that was hooked up with areo bars and saddle.
Did anyone see NYC Bike Snob’s topic for today? http://bikesnobnyc.blogspot.com/2008/09/i-am-highly-specialized-right-tool-for.html
Trek 2100 + Rock-Shox + Spinergy & aerospoke wheels+ Easton aerobars + mandatory Luggage rack = Stunning
Seatpost is all the way down….bike must not fit (among other problems).
I put drop bars on a mountain bike once just to be contrary. We called it “Frankenbike”. It sucked.
John G: “Sweet ’stache bro” (name the movie)
OVCX #1 Sandbaggers – I was there and understand they weren’t allowed to race in the Cat 3 race because they had 1-day licenses.
you mentioned DT rims.. I had a pair built for my Serotta last year, DT 1.1 Rims on D/A hubs with DT dbl butted champion spokes, 3X rear and 2X front. They are sweet! Honestly I opted for DTs over Open Pros cause everybody has open pros… and the extruded DT hoops are welded rather than pinned, a little lighter, and less $$. The guys at my LBS say they are “the bomb”.

I’m bitter….and I was also hammered when I wrote that email. Interbike is a misnomer, it should be called Bikes and Booze…my head still hurts.
That bike looks like what they use train young poor bull fighters with.
