沒有 LUG 味的COLNAGO!
LUG工法一直是義大利COLNAGO引以為傲,其堅固與剛性和Q度並存的性能令COLNAGO Fans津津樂道,台灣代工廠先進的碳纖維成型加工技術雖然幫了世界知名品牌的大忙!但是做出來的車架個性確是大同小異,如果不塗裝還很難分辨品牌個性,不過典型的COLNAGO一眼就可以看出是COLNAGO也嗅得出該有的原味,但是近年來CLONAGO也搭上這風潮推出一體成型車架產品,雖然沒有騎過不知還是否還保留COLNAGO性格,不過沒有了LUG還是有點不大習慣!

金屬 Road bike
身邊喜好 Road bike 的朋友間最近紛紛從金屬車架換騎碳纖維車架,大約一年前把COLNAGO Extreme-C賣掉並陸續添購了Cannondale CAAD9,Pegoretti Responsorium, Pegoretti Love#3 之後就再沒有購買碳纖維車架的想法!踩踏的節奏也慢慢的適應了路感較沉重的金屬車架,但是有個想法就是如果換騎高剛性兼具輕量化的碳纖維車架會讓人有更多的想像空間!不過近期之內還是當個"鋼鐵人".
In 2006 Pegoretti introduced the Love #3. As was the case with his steel frames in 2005, he showed Dedacciai tubing the door and in its place brought in Columbus aluminum, specifically their XLR8R scandium tubeset.
What's scandium? It's aluminium alloyed with zinc and magnesium, then "doped" (that's Columbus' superb phraseology) with scandium and zirconium. The addition of scandium and zirconium improve its weldability and its resistance to heat-induced fatigue. This results in a longer-lived frame since it minimizes the impact of the welding heat on the material -- a big plus since the very act of being welded is the biggest trauma most bikes ever experience.
Being aluminium, Dario considers the Love #3 to be a mercenary frameset of sorts -- it's a "pure race bike" that "50% of the people want, and 70% of them don't need." The tubing diameters are seriously big -- as though it took a cue from the Big Leg Emma, not from any of his previous aluminium frames. For example, the chainstays are a breathtaking 30mm in diameter -- a mere 5mm smaller than that of the BLE. When you jump on the Love #3 with serious power it won't flinch in the least, exactly like you'd expect for a race-specific frame.
When it comes to lightness, XLR8R scandium allows Pegoretti to shave substantial weight a size 54cm frame will come in at 1225g, about 2.7lbs. Another improvement in comparison to other aluminium frames. Columbus went to great extremes to maximize vibration elimination with XLR8R.
The Love # 3 is not Pegoretti's best all-purpose bike. That designation still goes to the Marcelo. But if the bulk of your riding is spent training and racing not "riding", then it's a bike you need to seriously consider. Conversely, if most of your riding is less power-oriented and more focused on endurance or simply cruising around, there's no reason not to go for a Marcelo or a Duende. The weight savings and the stiffness benefits ofthe Love #3 are of minimal consequence in those applications. )

(COLNAGO C59: C系列是COLNAGO 最著名的多用途車種,從C40開始到C50和現在的C59,為什麼不叫C60呢?據悉義大利人不怎麼喜歡60這個數字,朋友間已經有一台C59在路上奔馳,再過一陣子第二台C59將報到上路)
這個Love#3 的車架據信是 Dario Pegoretti 設定為"純競賽"用的車架,因為採用了向Columbus 特別訂製編號XLR8R 鈧合金管材的關係,所以是Pegoretti 車系中重量最輕的車架,後三角的設計極具侵略性,尤其是後下叉使用直徑高達3cm的管材製作而成,其剛性可想而知,如果有一雙勇腳應該是如魚得水的快樂!下次有時間再撰文Love#3 的騎乘感受,因為我也很久沒騎這台車了!
(Love #3
Dario Pegoretti has always been best known for his craftsmanship with steel and while his top-end steel frames such as the Big Leg Emma and the Marcelo are utterly race-worthy in any situation - pancake-flat terrain or a mountainous epic - he long ago chose to be responsive to the insatiable appetite for lightness in the marketplace. How? By applying an equally thoughtful approach to the manufacture of aluminium frames. In 2006 Pegoretti introduced the Love #3. As was the case with his steel frames in 2005, he showed Dedacciai tubing the door and in its place brought in Columbus aluminum, specifically their XLR8R scandium tubeset.

退役相撲選手開的料亭
這是一家John常去光顧的sushiyasum,料理師年輕時是相撲選手出身,在日本相撲選手超過30歲若沒成名,就只有退出相撲界一途,不是當相撲教導師傅(親方)就是開火鍋店,很難得這位相撲選手轉業成為壽司師傅,為人親切和藹,手藝也不錯.
最近日本相撲界因部分選手舞弊問題(八百長)幾乎毀了日本相撲國技(這也想起台灣職棒),相信這些本本分分退役的選手一定相當難過!

MY LOVE #3
我以前不知道騎單車是多麼一件愉快的事
在兒子兩三歲時候我把老家訂報紙送的單車
裝上藤編的兒童椅載著他去兜風
他好高興!父子間那種快樂難以言喻
不知不覺他已經小學五年級了
長大的身軀早已坐不下那張籐編的兒童椅
不太愛跟我出門也不太想聽我說什麼
真想回到往日的時光
MY LOVE #3

CYCLINGTIME -- 1cm的差別!
兩週前把座管高度從64cm拉高到65cm只是為了多增加那麼一點車身比例和騎乘的美觀度,上個假日團騎經過80km的折磨後,不僅腰痠背痛速度更是變慢了許多,不信邪的今天座管還是維持65cm高度騎乘,結果痠痛度更勝於上週,回到家後立刻調回64cm,下午再度出門後痠痛立刻消失,又回到以往騎乘的感覺.

2/7 大年初四也是星期例假日,下午與兩位車友騎車南下竹南拜訪David 並參觀他的"單車博物館",David 是一位熱愛單車的單車人也是單車工業從業人員,從他那可以挖出單車知識與收藏品!時間關係短暫的一小時停留後返回新竹!

輕度旅遊....步行黃金小鎮...
天氣真的是不錯在這幾天的春節假期!在假期中大多數人應該以車輛作為出遊的交通方式!而我則是選擇以徒步方式出遊,一來節能減碳二來消耗過年期間比平常增加的卡洛里!慢慢走慢慢看沒有汙染只有流汗.

戰機的故事 F-104 星座式戰機
如果沒記錯的話F-104 星座式戰機是第一款突破2倍音速的戰機,說她是噴射戰機,倒不如以裝了一對翅膀的"火箭推進裝置"來形容更為恰當!由於翼展短操控性能不佳所以失事率極高,因此有"空中鐵棺材" 或"寡婦製造機"之不名譽稱號!不過儘管如此她也悍衛台灣領空數十載備用零件早已停產之下空軍四處收購其他國家退役之同型機勉強拼湊成戰鬥中隊,最後被法國製造的幻象2000取代光榮的退役,
(新竹空軍基地曾是F-104的家，照片中的F-104是在南寮某個公園中所拍攝的!)
台灣的GDP 兩萬美元?
報載台灣政府公佈台灣的GDP 已超過2萬美元?以1:30的匯率來算月薪在新台幣5萬元以下算是收入不及格的國民囉?哇...那週遭的朋友和同事大概有5成以上都是月薪少於GDP水準的"準低收入戶"而且是高學歷的低收入戶!對於這項統計的結果感到不解?這樣看起來財富勢必集中在一定比例的族群也就顯示貧富差距問題的存在性.

最高の相棒....一點點改變!
昨天為Responsorium做了一點小小的改變,把慣搭的RACING 1 輪組更換EURUS,並且換上challenge CRITERIUM 外胎,另外原 3T ERGONOVR PRO 把手拆下換成 Deda NEWTON SHALLOW ,纏上fi'zik藍黑兩色把手帶,之後就變成這個樣子...義大利風...

簡單並不代表容易!
（日本在地宴席料理）
隨著這幾年有線電視台持續放送日本旅遊和美食番組後,不但增加國人對於日本旅遊的知識而不再被旅行社牽著走,掀起日本自助旅遊風,也建立了大家對於日本食物初步的印象....,壽司,烏龍麵,蕎麥麵,..."魚旨"....等等,這些置入性行銷的節目居功厥偉,個人對於日本食物也是有著一定程度的喜愛,因為其料理方式簡單忠於食材的原味,尤其是海鮮料理!台式海鮮料理調味太過重手被蔥薑蒜等香莘料喧賓奪主尚失了食材原味.
壽司看似簡單卻是不容易的料理,不過有很多這類的廚師只有兩三下就想上梁山,作出來的壽司令人莞薾...
