Cheapie of the Week

 

Cheap Seats hosts Jason and Randy Sklar chime in on Paris-Nice winner Bobby Julich’s Cervelo:

Randy Sklar: Don’t pro teams normally have nice sublimated decals denoting a rider’s name?
Jason Sklar: Randy, most pros do have exquisitely crafted stickers, but CSC is apparently too strapped for cash after ponying up some major lucre to enter the UCI’s latest boondoggle: the ProTour. The custom sticker line-item was hacked from the budget.
RS: That pitifully scrawled “Julich” looks like the work of your typical chain-smoking, boozing, angry old man Euro mechanic with a raging case of the shakes wielding a bottle of Wite-Out.
JS: Are you sure? I thought it was a new font face called “Doodling Toddler”.
RS: Nice try brother, but you would be wrong.
JS: I’m also confused by the period.
RS: Bobby’s making a statement. Although, having just stomped the field at Paris-Nice maybe the period should be turned into an exclamation point.
JS: I hope there’s still enough Wite-Out in the toolbox.
RS: I’m a bit rusty about the inner workings of professional Euro cycling, but don’t they earn prize money for victories?
JS: That’s right. Maybe Bobby made enough cash winning Paris-Nice that he can splurge for some stickers.
RS: Hell, we can probably scrounge enough cash in this couch to outfit every bike in the CSC stable.
JS: Our in-kind donation should probably also be enough to get “Cheap Seats” a spot on their kit…
RS: …and the VIP treatment at US PRO week.
JS and RS: High five, brother! (cue 1970s Hong Kong kung fu film smacking sound)
JS: We’ll be living large in Philly…
RS: …chomping down cheese steaks with Bjarne Riis and Scott Sunderland.
