Eh, not really.
It's going to suit my needs for a whiiiile.
My buddy grabbed 2 newish specialized mountain bikes for him and his girl.
Dumbass rich punks ftw.
I mean, who leaves it there? It sat locked up the ENTIRE semester. As far as a bike goes, it looks like a Mercedes next to a bunch of Geo's. I'm surprised nobody sniped it after seeing it sit for a while.

4k?
Highest Kestrel I've seen was 3.
Yea, they're crazy. That and they're full carbon and weigh about 11 pounds. I was afraid I was going to make it collapse, but the damn thing is rigid and comfy as hell to ride for a tri bike.
Your dad compete?
EDIT: nvm, just found a 14k kestrel.

Yeah, he does triathlons...he's nuts. I'm going to start riding because my back gets jacked up running. He has 2 bikes...that and a Gunnar...he said I could take the Gunnar out whenever I want. His Kestrel is an AirFoil from maybe 2 years ago? Full carbon..thing is nuts. He said he picks up a couple miles an hour just by getting on that bike. So he trains on the Gunnar since it's heavier, and races in the Kestrel.

As far as the cardio goes, I can get as good of a workout or better on my cycle, and it's much more fun to do. Picking up the girlfriend a Vilano 21 speed so we can cruise together, but riding a bike in town as fast as cars > *

I did a 22 mile race in New Orleans on a cheap road bike, and I was gassed.

Damn great catch. I've been looking on the free section of craigslist lately and I just picked up a good condition bow flex home gym for free. I'm thinking of just picking up more free stuff and make a garage sale.

I remember when the STi first came out it was the college punk car of choice.
