ASS-O-METER - MISSION COMPLETE - LAST ONE


Went To the bike shop for the last time this month! Thank God it's April 29th! LOL! I was looking at a seat and the Manager Mel asked me what size saddle am I looking for. I said "BLUE"! We laughed and he said that if I ever had my ass measured! I was speechless but said no I have not. Specialized has this gel pad that you sit on and it measures the width of you ass. They nicknamed it the "ASS-O-METER"... After spending 20 seconds on this it gave me a ass width of 143mm. They had one left on the rack.


I finally gathered enough energy after today's lunch ride to finish the build of the new Tarmac Pro Gerolsteiner Edition. For some reason, I enjoy collecting team edition frames. My last one was a Festina Allez, unfortunately my cousin cracked it last November. I spent last night researching the color schemes and to get the build as close as possible to the team bikes. I have not dialed it in yet and hoping to take it on the road after work tomorrow afternoon.

Caution: Remove Before Flight...

  1. I know there's a good joke there somewhere about Gil measuring your ass for you, but I can't quite think of it yet.

  2. Saw you riding at Hickam this evening. You had a big smile on your face despite the strong headwind. Still thinking about the ASS-O-METER?
