Right now in BCN and Spain they (290) are working very hard to try and capitalise and flood the delayed mrkt with their pieces. i say delayed as aluminium frame sales have only really taken precident over steel in the last 18months. I'm trying to flog a near perfect NJS frame in BCN right now and it is being ignored as its all about alu. i have also heard that they are gifting a lot of the 'it' riders and doing a lot of mates rates in order to push things forward rather than letting the product speak for itself... in the long term the wheat does get sorted from the chaff but lets hope it doesnt damage the chances of the brands that are a bit more credible. time will tell, nobody gets it perfect first time round.

Looking very nice TM. yes. keep nodding my head with pursed lips..

they take college football far too seriously

Yeah so I'm sure this has come up before but can someone explain to me the advantage of downward sloping top tubes on bikes that aren't actually low-pros?

intergrated headset sizing question-

there seem to be a number of other size references between diffferent websites but lest start with that one!

thanks!

i think that is one of the nices Low frames. pending a removal of some decals

well I'll be here.... need to get a roadie :)

pretty much just pictures of bins...

quite a lot of 'would' whilst looking thru that^^ tho!!

also you could also head straight from Arenal area toward LlucMajor and head north toward Algaida or furthe east to the other coast and you have plenty of lovely coutryside there to get at.

i have a reasonable cyle map with gradients and distances with traffic weight colour coded roads if you wanted to borrow it. you could pick it up for about 5euros tho very easily

personally i love the centre of the island as the hills are more undulating than mountainous (mountains which are amazing mind) and you have a huge amount of low traffic pro cycling country roads to choose from.

i do most of my cycling using palma as a strting point so you need about 10km to get out of the suburbs and then you are in good shape. If you do this then Santa Maria is a good base to make a loop from where you have the choice to go mountains to the north west or flat to the east. you can also quite easliy get a train from Palma out to Sa Pobla or Manacor and start more north central of island and work your way back. there are plenty of routes so i would have a look at the sort of distance you want to do and the level of hills you would like to tackle.

shamefully i do not have a road so have not been up into the mountaind more than a couple of times but if you can hack it they are quite spectcular.

if you want some more info then just ask as i could end up writing a very long list of villages!

you picked the right week as the sun is out again after an overcast previous 8 days. shock horror!

There is nothing that rents track bikes however plenty renting road bikes...that link posted by Jaw is close to you.

There are a couple of places renting bikes (propper road bikes, not boris equivelents) along the Can Pastilla- Arenal waterfont so you should have a choice.

I am based in Palma and may have something (brakeless) available to lend you if you wanted to do a ride and are of similar size! what sort of use are u thinking? just pootliing around the city cafe to museum to cafe or something more heart thumping?

if you just want a sit up city runaround you have plenty of choice available.

thats what i thought it was at first glance.

life long project wiith only a photo to show for it tho...

From the look of the photos and the title I assume that is a whole stack of fathers and sons. It would be cool to be able to produce a similar piece of work for one person showing them as they age.

theres a set of them shamals on ebay right now. finishing sooon.
