A diagram of a TT frame geometry was sent in by the reader. Maybe we can use this for reference.

From Cheap Carbon Frames - 3K or 12K weave?

From Cheap Carbon Frames
Increase your knowledge about carbon frames. It is time you own a carbon frame (everybody seems to have one because now they are cheaper)
What is the difference between 3K and 12k? It refers to number of fibers/filament: 3k is 3,000 filament per thread; 12 K is 12,000 filaments/thread. Earlier carbon fiber was 3k. Now carbon fiber could be made cheaper with 12 k. However, it has a disadvantage of not being wound tightly.
Unfortunately we can not see of which carbon type a bike has been constructed because they are built with layers upon layers of carbon fiber, and unless you employ destructive testing, then you will never know. The outer layer may be just cosmetic.

What is the relevance of this Easter Sunday article? I think many of our cyclists are Catholics and the Bisikleta Iglesia is well read and visited throughout the year.
This post is also relevant to the fact that Smith's daughter is a konsehala of the event.
And today is Easter Sunday. Time to really reflect.

Bloomingdale Homes Angono, Rizal, PHL | March 3l, 2013
The victory of Christendom over death and evil
I decided not to bike today. Last year today, Easter we set our for Real Quezon. I am little bit exhausted from biking last Maundy Thursday. I just decided to watch the Salubong (the nth since as far as I can remember) I would do a complete photo ops. I did one in l969 in film but I submitted them to a project for Spanish term paper.
The salubong has been held in the open space in Bloomingdale Homes Angono, Rizal. ( Incidentally, the writer conceptualized and built Bloomingdale Homes. If there was no Bloomingdale Homes....)
I think I took great pictures because I was not ashamed to bump into people and get near the stage. Please see to appreciate
Here are some of the many pictures (about 200) that I took:

Specially made T shirt for the salubong aides
The kapitana and tinyenta on the stage near the Galilea
The Galilea superstructure; sunrise has begun
The tinyeta doing her dance
The kapitana recites her dicho before the closed heart
Only the big white bird (angry?) with purity can open the heart
At the cue, "..ngayo'y nabuksan na" the big white bird dives!
The colored birds coul not open the heart (racist? )
The white bird will do the job?
The white bird does it; the heart is opened.

The opened heart shows angel singing "Regina Coelis"
The heart platform is lowered as the angel continues to sing
The angel showers flower confetti as she is lowered

The angel watches the "dicho" and then the kapitana dance
The kapitana recites her emotional dicho
The hero white bird which opened the heart smiling
The tinyenta smiles as she wipes her sweat
One of the dozen party poppers exploded
The kapitana now dances
I like this shot, this embodies the victory Christendom over death, and that of resurrection of Christ
Very beautiful shot of the kapitana as she dances.
Wow - the kapitana and tinyenta in a photo together!
