So damn glad I got the fatty this season. Went out in the "blizzard" up here in NE yesterday, 10 miles of just me and the plows. Actually averaged 10mph, which is harder than you'd think when you're running 6psi and studs. Hills were a bit of a bitch.
We have too much snow up here for it now. Something like 5 feet in the last week or so. It's snowshoes and XC skis for me unfortunately.
You get the cold kit for the bluto?^ Nice dude! I am jealous as hell.

Also, pics of the new bikes at once!
While it's partially true, it's still a little bit disingenuous. Gaining 7.5 seconds on a mile climb is a relatively sizeable advantage in a race, granted it might be lost when descending.
Yeah when I got to that 7.5 seconds part, even as a non-racer, I was like uh that's fucking HUGE actually. I think generally the point was though that for the average end user the gains versus costs don't really play out in the end, since even to get that 7.5 seconds requires a fucking bitch grade.
I think they're pointing more toward my style people, the commuters. Trimming the weight will end up being better than a lighter bike 99% of the time.
Naw. A ton of guys that I ride with have been running them all season as cold as 10-15* with no issues. If it's colder than that, I just get on the trainer.
Well that's awesome looking. Enjoy it man! I'm stuck on the damn trainer for a while since it refuses to stop snowing up here in NE.Picked up my roadie yesterday, haven't had a chance to truly ride it but did a quick ten to get the fit dialed in. The drops need to go, so uncomfortable.
