My transformation to fattie masters racer is almost complete now that I finally have a real TT bike. I've been working on the fattie part all winter and that's been going good, but the TT bike isn't quite high zoot enough for status as full fattie master. I need more carbon on it and I'll be closer. Although my new road bike is carbon... does that count?

Excuse me, but as I'm a non-cyclist, I have no idea what you're trying to say here!!

excuse me, but are you saying that my ex-black beauty is not good enough for you? I may have to see what the Hurricane has to say about this...

You've a long way to go before qualifying as a fatty master.

No FM would dream of carrying a frame pump (way too old school) at any time - only non-functional CO2 cartridges. Bike shop changes flats anyway after I call spouse to pick nme up.

Even for training wheels, no rim shall be allowed less than 30 mm depth. Those mavics are only 27 mm and have way too many spokes.

SRM is missing - as is aero bottle.

That big chainring is way too ghetto. Need one of those 55T Dura Aces of continuous metal.

Only carbon FSA cranks are allowed.

You actually have a saddle-bar drop. That's a no-no for FMs. Lack of flexibility and beer belly are required. As is a budget of $5k.
