And now Ryan:
We take pleasure in answering thus prominently the communication above,
expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful
authors are numbered among the readers of r.b.m:
Gary, your friends are wrong. They have been affected by the scepticism
of a sceptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that
nothing can be which is not written up in VeloNews. All minds, Gary,
wheter they be men's or children's are little. In this great universe of
ours Category V is a mere insect, an ant, in its cycling, as compared
with the boundless world about it, as measured by the riding skills
capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes, Gary, there is a Fabrizio Mazzoleni. He exists as certainly as love
and Shimano and brifteurs exist, and you know that they abound and give
to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would the
world be if there were no Fabrizio Mazzoleni! It would be as dreary as
if there were no Garys. There would be no Category V-like faith then, no
poetry, no Sunday rides to make tolerable this existence. We should have
no cycling, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which
cycling style fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Fabrizio Mazzoleni! You might as well not believe in
hill-climbing wheels! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in
all the bicycle races on the first day of Spring to catch Fabrizio, but
even if you did not see Fabrizio Mazzoleni breaking away, what would
that prove? Nobody sees Fabrizio, but that is no sign that there is no
Fabrizio. The most real things in the world are those that neither
children nor men can see. Did you ever see the performance difference
ten grams makes? Of course not, but that's no proof that it is not
there. Nobody can coceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen
and unseeable in cycling.
You tear apart a bicycle pump and see what makes the air come out, but
there is a veil covering the cycling world which not Jobst Brandt, nor
even the united brains of all the mechanical engineers that ever lived,
could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, intervals, style, weight-fixation,
can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal riding and
racing beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is
nothing else real and abiding, excepting steel.
No Fabrizio Mazzoleni! Thank God! He rides, and rides forever. A
thousand crits from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand Tours
from now, he will continue to make style the heart of cycling.

If this was 20 or 30 years ago (and a little richer),
I might have the guts to challenge Fabrizio.
It's strange, but I think Fabrizio has the right stuff
for DH and hardcore XC. But both he and I are just too
old for that kind of thing now.
<sigh>
But don't be fooled. Fabrizio is serious bizness.
On the road, he'd clobber us. Know it.
Like you say, it's what he *doesn't* say.
I like to think his message is: "Substance is innate,
intrinsic, and immutable, so there's no point in talking
about it. But Style can be worked on."
He's a sly fox. And he's real. And he'd blow either
of us off the road in the Tour de White Rock, and he'd
utterly destroy us in any climbs.
You should see his resume -- it's a masterpiece.

Tom

With the world championship road race on the dead flat Zolder circuit
in Belgium he was avioding the big climbs to keep his sprinting speed
in his legs, just like team Lotto's Robbie McEwen who raced the flat
Paris-Brussels, Midden-Zeeland, and GP Rik Van Steenberged leading
up to the championships.
More importantly, Fabrizio had a better suntan this summer than McEwen
had, what's with an Australian not tanning well?

Behoove us to what?
From the Princess Bride, by S. Morgenstern. I have the correct version.
Goldman's wretched abridgement is ashes to my mind's mouth, perhaps it
reads that way in some inferior edition of your possession?
Ahem. From the end of chapter five, "The Announcement":
"Come, sir." Count Rugen approached. "We must get you safely to your
ship."
"We are both men of action," Westley replied. "Lies do not become us."
"Well spoken," said the Count, and with one sudden swing, he clubbed
Westley into insensitivity.
The passage continues on for about another dozen pages, but you are
probably unfamiliar with the highly amusing catalog of deformities
Westley had encountered in his life, none of which previously was a
six-fingered right hand. It's Morgenstern at his satirical best.

Look golightly, I can't really speak for Fabrizio but if you ever want him
to respect you you will have to get it together as a cyclist.
You are still hurt from the time he called you a hairy legged lard ass.
Make the effort, shave your damn legs, buy some euro kit, and get a
real bike will you.
The 2003 season is just around the cornor, so you are not going to lose
that 45 lbs of ugly body fat that's keeping you from looking like a real
cyclist like me.
This link may help:

This rumor has been going around for a long time, and in my darker
hours, I believe that hack Goldman is himself responsible for this
Goldman-aggrandizing rumor. It's not enough that he has to butcher a
beautiful work of literature with his Reader's Digest version, now he
seems dead set on obliterating Morgenstern altogether.
Anyways, my possession of the complete edition of "The Princess Bride"
by _S. Morgenstern_, NOT W. Goldman, says contrary to your erroneous
assertion.
Although it is hard to find, there is an excellent little bookshop on
Hastings St. called Brown's. I enjoy my visits there, and I believe they
have a couple of used copies of the complete edition there.
Website:
http://www.abebooks.com/home/FORSENG/
Phone:
Although they are a good shop, they do not specialize in Florinese
literature, and there is a good chance they will be confused and try to
sell you the Goldman butcher-job. Insist that you want the unabridged
original, and they should be able to take care of you with a little
encouragement.

Yes, he has a resume, but it would do no good to post it. For us freds,
which is everyone else in Fellatio Mozarrella's mind, the URL would forever
remain just out of reach before us on the road up life's mountain, dancing
on the pedals with deceptive lightness belying its power, occasionally
glancing back as though to mock our ride and our gear, and, tiring at length
of the game, rising out of the saddle to leave us in its legendary dust as
though we were standing still.

"Important parts"? When I last checked it was about 10 lines long.
Of course, Lance's resume would be quite sufficient with 4 lines:
Lance Armstrong
Texas
Cancer survivor (once)
Winner of the Tour de France (4 times)
Golightly F.
This is how you entertain yourself... with name calling rants in discussion

Rather trolling RBM... why not spend some time figuring out what's missing

Well, my assertion was correct; I really *did* think that. I'm glad to
hear it isn't so.

Cool, I'll check it out. I always enjoy going in there. He's great for
mystery books that you can't find elsewhere, like Rex Stout or John Dixon
Carr.

Your "Net-Kook" status has come about by your endless conflict with
subscribers... of course your "whining" in abuse groups didn't help alter
your status as... a kook.
In recalling one of your conflicts... it was you that went into a digital
rant about subscribers...trolling.
I do hope you're getting this.

Well ol Lance didn't exactly have a stellar year on the
bike this year. Look at some of his lame results:
Milan-San Remo 44th place
Amstel Gold 4th place - now this is a real easy race around
the Maastricht region, so 4th place in that one isn't something
to brag about, and even Serguei Ivanov placed ahead of him!
Liege - Bastogne - Liege he was dropped at the 244 km
mark!
Only one win for the whole month of July !!!
Now this looks like a career that has stalled out.
Anyway, I look way better in my team Kelme kit and Rudy Project
Tayoos than he does in his team USPS kit and Oakley Lance signature
M frames.

Hey! Your obvious jealousy is showing. Just because your palmares can't
match what Fabs has achieved on his wind trainer is no reason to
ignorantly mock his windshields.

In pro cycling it's not always the best rider who gets the biggest
pay, Lance just happens to be a bit more marketable at the moment.
Take this July 18th for instance, the way I was riding there is no way
that Lance would have outsprinted me at the finish at La Mongie.
For one thing, I wouldn't have sat on his wheel all the way up the
Col du Tourmalet like Beloki did on that day. When I was watching
the stage unfold that day on OLN I felt it in my legs that I would have
escaped from the peleton with Jalabert and worked with him over the
Aubisque then attack and drop him as we crossed the valley d' Arens.

The only thing Lance has that I don't is his girly M frames.
At least I had a more consistent season on the bike this year,
unlike Lance I just don't show up in July and flame out after
one race.
Mike Latondresse
Well if you are going to carry that forward in to 2003 you had better
be well along in your training right now...you are well along in your
training arn't you and not working at some lame job?

Why does this remind me of Crosby, Stills, Nash (and Young?) performance in the
movie, "Woodstock"?
IIRC, during Stills' introduction of the group he said something like, "Bear
with us. We start out slow but then we fizzle out altogether." <g>
