Admittedly they had to tweak his ride for weight regs, but the "Save the weight, don't paint it" stuff still remains a comedy classic.
Apparently, they did listen to you and stripped the paint only to learn that they failed to make minimum weight (doh!) and had to quickly apply decals to look like paint since it wouldn't have had time to dry. :-)
What is all this? What I do know is when I let my road machine sit for too long (making up quality time with my mtb honeys) and then go for a ride I'm always thinking "What happened? Why you angry? Why so slow?" But then I remember I forgot to get the dust off...all that slowing me down.
