Steel is real
Very excellent day. Got to see one of my favorite….if not fmy avorite patient families today. Had a fun old school Basso in the shop. Got to talk about carbon fiber (fibre) vs. steel….or ti.
Can you guess what my old man thoughts were? Plastic bikes. Thats fine, but I’m a corn fed, sioux indian, 210 pound, tonidique (Bo’s term…sound it out) rollin’ at ya.
So I said, carbon maybe lasts 5 years. Steel (or ti) lasts 20…or a lifetime.
Hey, Lance was in Utah. It was all over the news. People ask me all the time if I admire Lance. I do admire his ability to suffer and his comeback from cancer. I don’t celebrate the doping or the cover up. Yes, Lance doped. Yes, they all do. Maybe you think I’m an asshole for being honest and not holding out the glimmer of hope that the sport is clean. Pro riders have asked me for a cycle of steroids, cortico-steroids and HGH for their endevors. I said no. Some of them actually said, “thats cool, you don’t have to train for a living”. I thought to myself, “you go to college, then try to get into dental school, then you grab the needle and the handpiece and go to work”. All I said was “What is your student loan balance?” Fucker. Anyway, here is a livestrong pic to pray to.
