I run 5 mi /day
Makes me sick just thinking about it. I can play basketball all day long, but I hate running.

If it's chrome you like, this may inspire you to getdown in the 7 minute range[sm=smiley4.gif]

Dang, Dunk, what is your bill for chrome polish?

Warg ... nice ... especially for your size. I haven't seen an 8 minute mile in 25 years.

Can't tell in the pic ... but how about a set of braided cables?

I don't think that it's his bike. His avatar pic is different than the pic in the post, but I could be wrong. There is one of those bikes floating around here in Delaware with the license plate "CHROME" .

got the braided cables already and brake line. I will change to a braided rear brake line when I add chrome calipers. I think the controls will give me the most visual improvment for the money I am looking to spend. Chrome front end and nacelle are next.

I would hate to ride that bike on a sunny day. I would equally hate the day after riding on a rainy day. That bike must be a b!+ch to clean!
