...but he can almost get smeared by a train. Paris-Roubaix was awesome. I hope everyone watched it. Cancellara winning on a stock Cervelo R3 frame. Increadible. That frame is getting a lot of attention lately with the huge win today, and the stiffness test in the latest Velonews. It's now overtaken the Look 585 for the top spot in the "what bike will Brooks buy next" list. I like the ultra thin seat stays. Hincapie's crash looked painful. Watch out for your corn hole Brian. Shit runs downhill, and you might get blamed for the steerer failure. Isn't that the flow of the algorhythm: rider gets hurt on Trek->rider blames mechanic->mechaninc blames Scott Daubert->Daubert blames some dingleberry at Trek in Wisco->dingleberry blames Brian the company computer guy. I think it goes something like that anyway. 
This morning I went on a 30 mile TT, and finished in 1:18. Not too shabby for me. Then I made some delicious buckwheat pancakes for brunch. Watched the Masters, then Paris-Roubaix. Then I finished gluing the Zipps, ate a yummy sang-witch for dinner, and watched the Cards blow it against the Cubbies. I was going to publish a post on equipment choices for Paris-Roubaix, but I couldn't find enough pictures to pirate yet. Maybe on Wednesday.

I can't believe they didn't stop that train.
What is the new Bayonne all about? It has those way cool pencil seatstays too.
The Bayonne was used 2 years ago in the Tour by Basso for the Alpe d'Huez TT. The R3 is based on that same platform, but is better than the Bayonne, as it is just as light, but much stiffer.
What failed on the steerer? Or was it the stem?
there is a new Bayonne, like the R3 but 750grams! there is a video on it on the cervelo website. they test the R3 cross and the Bayonne on some offroad 140k ride through the snow. its cool. apparently the R3 and the bayonne have enough clearance to run a 700x28 cyclocross tire as well. the new bayonne and r3 cross come out this summer sometime.
