In the interests of keeping some diverse chatter going

I thought I?d post all of this at once. You can

contact me via email regarding the bike or shifters.



First of all I have for sale:



2000 (year) 48 or 50 cm Trek 2000 Road Bike

9 spd Tiagra Triple

Rolf Vector Wheels

Salsa Poco short reach/drop bars

Salsa bar top brake levers

Cat Eye computer



This is my partner?s bike and she just doesn?t ride it

any more. It?s in excellent shape and has pretty low

mileage. It is currently set up with a pretty tall and

short stem on it so features a pretty upright

position. I think I have the original stem and bar so

will work with you if your interested in putting the

original bar and/or stem back on. It?s a nice little

bike and would be great for organized rides or Cycle

Oregon or just riding around. No pedals.



Asking $550



Ok, I know this is a long shot but?..



WTB: left hand Record Ergo shift/brake lever. Just in

case you have an extra one lying around.



Last, I just had to share this recipe because it?s so

good. These waffles have powered me for the last 2

Banana Belts and feature some good complex carbs to

last all through the race. Plus they just taste great.

I call them Race Day Waffles.



Race Day Waffles:



? cup white flour

? cup whole wheat flour

? cup oat flour

? cup barley flour

? cup finely chopped pecans

4-tblsp flax seed meal

? tsp salt

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

2-tblsp brown sugar

2 cups soy milk (or regular milk, or a cup of each)

3 tblsp canola oil

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 eggs separated



In a medium bowl mix all the dry ingredients except

for the pecans.



In a large bowl beat the egg yolks, milk, oil and

vanilla until blended. Gradually mix in the flour

mixture. Stir in the pecans. In a small bowl beat the

egg whites to soft peaks (I do this by hand with a

whisk but you can use a mixer). Fold the egg whites

gently into the batter.



Bake using your waffle irons directions. Serve with a

sliced banana on top and warm maple syrup.



Add bacon or eggs on the side if you?d like some

protein. You can also simplify by not separating the

eggs but the waffles won?t be as light. Experiment if

you want, it?s how I came up with this recipe.



The oat and barely flour should be available where

ever they have a good selection of Bob?s Red Mill

products, or from the Red Mill store in Milwaukee.



Happy Racing!
