Racing!
It is not about unwritten gentlemanly rules.
It is about respect.
Respect for your competitors and particularly your rivals. Respecting them with your actions to say: “I know you have prepared as long and hard for this as I have, I’m not going to take this cheap advantage of you. I want to beat you fairly.” …unless you enjoy playing the role of [...]

This is a pretty sweet little story.
I’m in love with this saddle. For me, Fizik attained Chris King like “covet” status when I discovered their saddles in the late nineties. They were fresh and appeared to be doing something different than the other “selle” brands.

Social Media Saturday.

And I am feeling the 1960’s right now so watch these choice videos.
