Bike List

Ok, seems to be the thing, here are a couple buddies and my list of bikes:
Adam's Bikes
Brandon's Bikes

My bike list 2001-2009:
Dave Scott Ironman Centurion - Steel, Given to me by a friend, size 61! This bike started the craze!
Litespeed Tuscany - Sweet Ti Love
Litespeed Saber - Had to have more Ti
Colnago Dream - This bike could turn on a dime! Awesome road race bike.
Look AL Track bike - My love for the track has never faded
Quintana Roo Zero Gravity - Funny ITU road bike
Quintana Roo Lucero - First Sponsored Tri Bike, really nice carbon
Litspeed Siena - Ti, never got to ride it enough
Guru Veloci'Ti - Wow, beautiful paint
Scott CR1 - Really stiff carbon
Titus Racer X - One ride and moved on from the off road stuff, maybe someday again.
RMS Sparrow -Fully Custom Ti Tri Bike, I ride what I love
Cervelo Super Prodigy - Steel, sweet ride!
Cannondale F4- Hardtail Mtn. Needed something for the trails and Muddy Buddy races
Some Rush - Fixed gear, back to the track! Steel, very stiff!

Since I have been in or around the bike insdustry for many years I have ridden just about everything. There are alot of great bikes, but Ti bikes will always have my heart.

My favorite road bike was probably the Colnago, with the Tuscany a close second. I road the 'nag to quite a few Road Race wins, but the Tuscany gave me my first. For tris I road the saber for close to 5 years and won the U23 Texas TT and Ironstar Half Ironman on it. My RMS fits a bit better since it is fully custom, now I just need to get back in shape. I like a bit stiffer ride so I have always prefered Ti over Carbon. I am hoping the Cervelo will give me the "Steel is Real" feel everybody talks about.

  1. How do you ride a size 61 bike? Must have been quite a sight!

  2. It was huge! I put the seatpost as low as it would go, so the saddle was basically on the top tube. I had to lean the bike on its side or stand on a curb to get high enough to mount the bike!

2025 Otillo Austin Sprint SwimRun - Team Just Carry Me

  Back in May Chloe and I decided to take on the Otillo Austin Sprint Distance Swimrun event. I was able to talk her into it by showing her the cliff jump first. Nevermind the 2 hours of running and swimming required. She has had a good couple years of running, and was one a neighborhood championship meet qualifier for the 10 & under 25 yard breaststroke, so she will be fine. I also made the decision it was time to really try to become a better swimmer. Its less impact on my lower body and I always like to mix up my racing and training to become a better overall athlete. A swimrun was going to push my swim boundaries to the max. Barton Sprints Over the last few months we have been able to connect in Houston and Austin for some tethered swims. Each swim taught us something new. How to make a tether, where to place it for the swim, where to place it for the run, it can come untied or unclipped and how to just have fun. I even decided to customize our race wetsuits with PVC patch ...
