Soooooo many questions about this business model. But Portland does have a lot of cloudy days, and this strikes me as a single-use scenario for the ice, so maybe not as crazy as it sounds.

I used to do the same with my Jack, and he always made sure to get every bit of the yolk! Been gone almost two years now. He was a good’un!

Sorry about Jack. Really hurts to lose a buddy like that.
Bet if you went over a breakfast plate Roxie'd licked with an atomic-force microscope, there wouldn't be a molecule of egg left.

Came out of the local grocery to find this totally cool old truck parked next to me.
Worlds apart. SoCal car culture is alive and well in Carlsbad. I try to burn as little gas as possible these days, but once a car nut...

Love it! My dearly departed friend and business partner had a similarly coloured Studebaker.

Dropped the bike off yesterday at my LBS (Cadence Cyclery, Encinitas) for some long-awaited mods. And as usual, stayed to look over all the bikes I'd have to win a lottery or rob a bank to afford.
Lower-end version of the latest Specialized Tarmac racer. Lots of S-works Tarmacs show up at World Tour races and win more than their share. Very classy navy on white paint. Cadence also sells Spesh ebikes.
ENVE carbon-everything — wheels, frame, cockpit, aero bottle holders. No price tag. Estimated weight well under the UCI minimum of 6.8 kg.
That big triple logo looks sooooo good on bike wheels — especially on video at speed! (Bet they did that on purpose.)
Colnago C72, special La Scala paint job, Campy everything, all handmade in Italy. Only 5 of the 72 built sent to the US. The gold badge and paint flecks are, yep, real gold. The most expensive bike I've ever touched.
The bling's a turn-off for me, but lots of folks around here have more money than they know what to do with and need other folks to understand that.

Jeremy, when I look at such kind of bikes, I always console myself thinking: "I would be laughed at if I ever mounted such a bike and rode a popular cycling trail" 
Two memories:
Two memories:
- I once demo rode a Creo SL (the road version). My average speed was 23.3 km/h (14.48 mph). Any road cyclist was overtaking me!
- I got a Specialized Epic 8 Expert bike for a demo ride. My average speed on the "fastest XC bike in the world" was just 14 km/h (8.7 mph)

So many high-end bikes here — especially road and gravel — that no one would laugh.
So I never dream of those otherwise wonderful machines!
Wouldn't say I dream of them, either. I'm lucky enough to have the bike I want (Vado SL) at a fraction of the cost. But I like to admire these masterpieces when I can get a good look and would definitely love to try a few.

We sell ENVE, mostly wheels, and the Mog gravel bikes. We sold a limited edition Colnago titanium bike this spring that we took on trade. It went out the door for 19K, used. Full EPS. We are a Colnago dealer, and have sold a bunch of C, Y, and V series this year. Nowhere near as many as Pinarello, but enough to make it worthwhile to keep the line.
My bike has been ordered. It will ship as parts and a frame. The frame is in the queue for production in Italy. No ETA. It should be here by the end of the year.

You're getting a Pinarello Dogma, right? They've had some Dogma Fs on the floor — even more gorgeous in person, as images don't do the 3D aero sculpting justice.

I specified 9200 Di2, 170mm cranks and Princeton wheels.

Absolutely gorgeous! Love black on white. Not that a bike like that needs upgrading, but I know how cyclists work. Any mods planned?

The decals show a rainbow color depending on the viewing angle. The wheels will always be black, though. If I don't get the Princeton's then they will ship Scope.
Before I tape the bars, I'll add the sprint shifters. I've had them for so long now, I'd miss them. I'm trying to get a gel version of the Selle Italia Superflow that I have now, but they are dropping it from the line so it's all about NOS. I was planning on swapping my Candy 13's over from the Allroad, but I may end up going back to road shoes. I really don't want to do that. I'll add the Most outfront mount for the Garmin, and attach the RearVue to the seatpost. I'm also thinking of going tubeless from the get go. That's about it.
