And definitely an old school, straight gauged steel frame and fork because
he's sick and tired of listening to Matthew and Mark go on and on about
their carbon and titanium rides. Mark's always all "Dude, it's the same
exact frame that Lance rides" and Matthew's all "A properly butted and
shaped ti tubeset in the hands of a master framebuilder has all the strength
and suppleness of a steel frame with a 13.4% weight savings." Even Luke has
started getting on his nerves with his "853 this and 853 that" and "Hey,
Jesus, what do you think about 853?" and "Hey Jesus, do you want to try out
my 853?"

That reminds me! I've been thinking of writing an article entitled,
"WWJR?:
(What Would Jesus Ride?)" Bike, components, tires, gruppo, etc...
I'm thinking single-speed cross bike, with regular canti brakes. Single
speed because J.C. was a man of simplicity; canti brakes because it hardly
ever rains in Palestine (why pay the weight penalty of disc brakes?) and a
cross bike because Jesus was no stranger to pain and suffering and also,
that old favorite hynm: "the old, rugged cross."
Any thoughts?

Contrary to the belief implicit in quoted statement, a bicycle is not
capable of conferring character upon a person that doesn't already have
it. It's probably one of the better catalysts for making your true
character visible, but that's all it is. You have the option of
accepting that revealed character for what it is, or you can work on
yourself to change it, or you can surrender yourself to Jesus Christ and
let Him change you from the inside out. In no case does the bike do
that for you.
