My Bicycles

The slides depict some of them and I am especially proud of the Cannondales. I purchased the (black) SV3000 in 1994 and the (red) SV4000 in 1996. As a tribute to Joe Montgomery (if you are reading this), they are stacked on Minouras and glow in the dark with little spotlights trained on them.


“Joe, both Cannondales are still regular on the trails though the single cranked Rockwell replica is not helpful uphill, but clipped on the DX, I manage”

The DeltaV and FoxR are great on the SV3 and I have no complaints on the Moto 120 and Alps 4r on the SV4. My sin with the SV3 is that I upgraded to the 2nd generation XTR. The 1st generation is still with me though and I intend to revert to convention before some die-hard takes me to task.

Elaine Wong Kar Yan, a marathoner/triathlete from Hong Kong, figured free-riding the SV3 into her stamina-building program. Inverting the stem and sawing off a replacement seat post, the 'V' accommodates her inseam. The petite athlete competes 4 to 5 events a year. Monotonous as such training can be, free-riding the South-East Asian trails offers diversity, Kar Yan says. She loves the SV3 like a classic Ferrari, the little details Joe put in, the streering shock and the prominent banana for example, but mainly because the thing is still relevant in the XC discipline.

What I love about the SV4 is the immaculate paint job and its limited production. It is just amazing the old warrior, although timid by contemporary standards, still turns heads.

Cheers, Tommy

Exchange Stabilization Fund (Parts 1 to 4) •... by 1tommypeters1 Exchange Stabilization Fund (Part 5) • Eric... by 1tommypeters1 Bullet points summarized by The Daily Bell • The Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) was created (without oversight) by Congress in the 1930s to ensure support of the Dollar. It has done a lousy job of what it was supposed to do, as the Dollar has lost almost all its value. • The ESF was put in the hands of the head of the US Treasury and the US Treasurer has absolute power to do what he wants with the fund. • As a result, the ESF has acted as a giant slush fund that has funded the growth of the American Empire over the past century against the will of both Congress and many bankers in private industry. • The ESF effectively runs the US Federal Reserve and tells the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (Fed) what to do. It does this because it is responsible for stabilizing the dollar and implementing policies that are in the national inte

While it's safe to assume that Farhan and friends are not on Rihanna's Christmas card list, they are definitely on mine and I hope they progress the arrested narrative to its logical conclusion.
