Audio as a hobby

Chrome moly gives the best ride. And you can just feel those hand-filed, skeletonized, long-point lugs caressing that double-butted Columbus tubing. Lovingly assembled by skilled Italian artisans in a small 6-man factory with stains of blood, sweat, and Barolo on the concrete floor. Trophies from Campione del Mundo line the workbenches. You can feel every bit of the heritage through the hard leather Sella saddle and the supple Cinelli bars. The wind rushes by your ears as you glide through the shifts of your magnesium Campagnolo drivetrain. Your legs drive harder as you engage the 53-tooth chainring and push for 35mph. Visions of Eddy Mercks flash through your mind as you stand up in the saddle and sprint for the finish, bottom bracket flexing in rhythm to the drive....... But, I digress. Got a little carried away. Biking is cool.

Chrome moly.
Amen
Thanks Twl.

I remain,

Why are there so many bikers on this forum? We should start a bikergon, althought I doubt it wouldn't be nearly as interesting as audiogon.

Speaking of active sports, I was fanatical about basketball and baseball. But a slight knee injury has banished me from playing competitively, so biking is my only real work out now.

As I said in my last post, my other hobby is scuba diving.
When I am not working, or sitting in front of the stereo, I can usually be found underwater.
Diving has allowed me to travel the world, and gives me a lot of things to dream about, when I listen to music.
I have a lot of videos of our trips, so I get visual stimulation at the same time.

SEX,CYCLING,had a conalgo,campangolo components till I got hurt.Did about 200 miles a week,it can be insance riding along with crazy drivers.Photography,coin collecting,so off most of that though.still have my bike though but I sold the Conalgo.I collect watches and my wife and I go dancing at ROSELANd yes we still dance the HUSTLE and mambo.Also my wife and I roller skate,not inline,the old school skates,quads.And now that I'm a homeowner,have to do the gardening and other things to keep the place nice for my audio.Audio is not passive if youre into listening to LPs.Cheers.
