Welcome to the IHoP

[///M5 2,833]

And there are some serious LIGHT bikes here:

[///M5 2,833]

And if 15lbs is 15.9, in a small size, with appropriate wheels, it is like an 18.5lb'er in my size which is exactly why a sub 20lb 1984 Trek will be pretty funny

Of course, I'll have about a G into it by that point which is also uber cheap.

[///M5 2,833]

And something I can get back out. I'll keep the group and wheels and sell the old bike as was about this time next year...or so I hope.

Oh yeah I know I'm comparing apples to oranges

Oranges are good.

Let me restate that, there is no weight savings with Carbon. The light bikes I just linked at Ti. I imagine carbon at the same weight though will ride nicer. Easier to mass produce and cheaper for that reason as well.

I know you know. Just clarifying as I think what I am building is absurd

rumor has it there's a new Pantera coming this fall to the LA Auto Show...hmmmmmm

[///M5 2,833]

NO!!!! Don't ruin my desire to own one.

[///M5 2,833]

Ford can surely partner with Detomasso and build a different super car, but NOT a Pantera.

Limes are better

especially with tequila and triple sec

Be sure to post pictures

[///M5 2,833]

And it looks like shit IMO

[///M5 2,833]

The Pantera that is.

[///M5 2,833]

I already posted pics of me on the bike, but not after the updates

[///M5 2,833]

Of course before updates can happen I need a new stem, stem adapter, set of bars, cable housings, and a wheelset. Some touch up paint wouldn't be out of the question either.

I'm sure even if they call it the pantera it wont be the same, because they will more than likely resolve the overheating problems that plagued the original. But even with it's faults I have always had a secret lust for it.

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

here they come again

those voices, they'll be with me till the end

maybe it helps the pain

how would I know?

I never slow down long enough

but, ain't life funny

I don't know if I will ever see you again

but, in the painted silver light

I watched you

and I'll keep on watching you

Thank God its Friday !!!

[Adrian_D 520]

Thank God its Friday !!!

Indeed.

If all goes well, I'll finally get the muffler off and see how it drives and sounds.

Fuckin bottom wisdom tooth.

Shits tryin to push thru and not so comfy.

J aren't you deployed? In the AF we can't be considered deployable with that kinda stuff happening.

1) Yes I am

2) They were staying still before I left. I didn't want to get teeth ripped out right before I left, or by Army docs. If I need military medical attention, I will take a one legged Navy Doc, or a one armed Air Force doc over a perfectly health Army one. Its not to say we have NO good docs, but the Navy and Air Force have served my medical needs best so far in my career.

And its legs day.................and I also have a god awful farmers tan. Damn outdoors work. I could deal if my legs were not elmers glue white.

[topgun 262]

I think mine are even whiter than elmers glue, it may have something to do with the fact I haven't worn shorts in years.

That's why I go to the tanning booths

[topgun 262]

Yep, unless I'm going to the tropics for a vacation, you'll never find me in a tanning booth.
