I know cycling is not very popular among hard core audiophiles - there is no room to put decent audio system not like car or motorcycle ;D But since I've caught "cycling disease" it's not just shaping my body but my purchases as well... So there is the latest one:  Selle SMP saddles 100% hand made in Italy. Before I was trying quiet a few saddles from San Marko, Fi'zi:k etc. Fi'zi:k Pave CX was really good to me, but few days ago I stumbled across this web site: www.roadbikereview.com/cat/controls/saddles/sellesmp/PRD_403984_2509crx.aspxWell, I ended up in LBS today "test driving" those saddles  First of all it's really that good/comfortable! Another thing, I would say it's "manhood friendly" which could be an issue if you bicycling a lot. And build quality, leather etc. is just amazing. ;D ;D ;D Cycling can get the best of us. I made a big change from running to cycling a couple months ago. I used to run 10-12 miles most days of the week, but it started killing my feet/knees. First day out on the Trek 7.3 I picked up I did 40 miles...it just kept getting further from there. Now, of course, there's the clipless pedals, the used Kestrel road bike I picked up...yada...yada. |

I can understand you because it's exactly the same reason why I'm cycling now. Later I found that there is more fun to me cycling then running  I like your bike choice. It's quiet interesting because before I've got my Cervelo S1 only two bikes was left in my short list - Cervelo S1 and Kestrel Talon SL Road ;D |

So......doesn't sound too manly, but I've designed our fall wedding invitations. I got the samples back and just need to choose which leaf design I want to go with. We found a lady that hand makes them. I'm also finishing up the last sketches of our wedding cake. Yeah, I'm that picky because I didn't like their sketch. Invitations:  Leaf medallion closures:  Our wedding planner calls me groomzilla. Jokingly of course. |

Just picked up a 42" Samsung Plasma for my rental unit in Florida. Great picture with HD Off-Air content and looks fantastic via Bluray.  |

Rick, your wedding invitation cards are magnificent!
* Before you made a remark about me complimenting you with your choice of ring (band)...
Well, let me say that; I studied ARTS at school, and also Psychology and Philosophy;
plus I was a Millionaire at one point, and I come from a family of artist people and some of them are very rich (financially and spiritually, from hard work and human values and life experience to the extremes).
So, when I say something to someone (like you in this instance), I truly mean it and I don't mince my words saying it. You might not be use to my type of language as I'm French (from Quebec), but I speak the truth, and I use words that mean something.
See Rick, with some people you have to take take them at face value, and when I'm serious I'm one of them.
Bob
P.S. I meant to ask you this Richard; your gorgeous audio rack where you put your Emotiva gear in, which made is it (company brand)? TY

I do sincerely appreciate the kind words Bob, I was just being my usual joking self. ;-)
The audio rack I have is from a company called Solid Tech in Sweden.
I consider myself an artist as well and used to dabble in all kinds of medias. I just finally picked up some more paints and canvasses to start painting again. My internal struggle is that I love art and design but my perfectionist nature makes me too critical of my own artwork. When it comes to making or building things like computers, bikes, etc., then I seem to do well. Thanks again.
Rich

I hope you do not need too many of them as the time involved in making each one must be significant. Again, they are beautiful. Deral |

They end up costing ~$14 each and I only need 50 of them. She does do a great job and the paper is hard to photograph. Looks very rich in person. |
