Ah, February 14 is here again. A very special day for all of us. A day you don’t want to forget. A day when you make that extra effort to show the one you love just how much they mean to you. V Day.
On this day, I will rise early, tiptoeing out of bed so as not to make any noise and stir the sleeping. I will dress quickly and quietly, leaving the shoes until the last moment to avoid any heavy footed clomping. Making my way to the kitchen, I’ll prepare snacks and drinks, to be enjoyed during the adventure I have carefully planned for the day. The excitement builds within me as I think about what lays ahead.
When I see her there before me, waiting, my heart rate increases, and continues to rise as I make first contact with her. I whisper seductively “Are you ready? I’m gonna ride you hard today.” I reach for the lube and the pump.
I love her deeply. But she alone is never enough. I need more, to keep the flames of my infatuation burning bright. Yet I never feel unfaithful, I just have more love to give than one can handle. The others don’t mind, they never complain, and are always happy to let me ride them too. They are the best, most loyal friends a man can have.
This V Day, do something special for your loved one(s). Bathe them. Buy them a gift (maybe something in rubber, or a nice bottle of something). But most importantly, take them out, spend the whole day together, share some beautiful views… and make it a V Day to remember.

I'd rather he didn't, but its been done with class before. And - remember this: if he doesn't ride the CX bike, he's riding a Cervelo. And we know how irrational you are about Cervelos.
@brett
It all comes down to tire choice. I can run 27 or 30mm slicks on my new CX bike. Road cranks, etc.
And it has a V-Meter. In paint! No sticker, no decal.
@G'rilla
I apologize for asking this, G'rilla in case you have posted elsewhere and I just haven't seen it....but.... do you mind to give us a brief review of that King BB? I'd be interested in your thoughts. Or if you have posted that same review elsewhere, possibly link to it for me? Gracias.

@Dinan
I think the forthcoming review will go something like "I offered up the BB to the sky gods, then threw it as hard as I could towards the Puget Sound."
No reason why he'd do that, other than that's what the picture makes it look like he's getting read to do...
@mcsqueak
In many countries you could be tried for heresy for such suggestions!

@Dinan I have yet to touch that particular BB (it's the builder in that photo).
I was supposed to take delivery of the machine on Monday but the builder sent it to a photographer for the week.
She will soon be mine! Maybe this weekend.
@Dinan
Oh no doubt... I admire CK components from afar but have yet to buy any for my bike.

A cyclist in Portland without even a Chris King stem spacer.
Why don't you just move to Vantucky now instead of pretending?
@G'rilla
No kidding, right? I don't even have an ironic moustache or other accouterments of the awesome, hip, Portland lifestyle I obviously live.
@mcsqueak You don't make your own beer or sausage? You don't chip your own ice? No anchor tattoos?
