i use a campag bb (chorus i think? same fitting as miche, not externally flanged like the record bb's) with miche cranks, goldtecs and an EAI cog with no chainline issues
-
yes you

i have the miche/campag tool. if you can drag yourself away from your zylaphone you are welcome to borrow it.

that's from superstars, i believe he crashed

she deserved every penny of the 200 quid she got for her 30 second effort, purely for her enthusiasm and encouragement of other riders!!!

"I don't actually mind Macs. I just find the fandom illogical and annoying"
i agree they are tools (they just happen to look good too).
but in the industry i work in there is a historical association with macs that i can't see going away unless their product goes rapidly downhill. in the 'early days' you couldn't allocate more than 75% of ram to photoshop but you could on a mac, there were also differences in the way they used look up tables in real time to change colour on the monitor meaning you could make subtle colour corrections in real time and see the results instantly (even though the computer was tweaking the monitor to look like you were making a correction but then do the proccessing intensive correction later after you hit the o.k button). these differences are irrelevant now though. also a lot of the capture software for the digital backs i use was only available in osx not pc or the pc versions were an afterthought and really buggy.
things may be different now but firewire on pc laptops was 4 pin not 6pin so they couldn't power the digital backs when tethered either.
as for the monitor issue i'm not talking about running 2 monitors i'm talking about running them with an individual calibration for each one"1 PC's behave somewhat differently from Macs. In the case of a PC, the computer will need to have an individual video card for EACH monitor. This is due to the fact that (most) PC video cards do not have dual look-up-tables (LUTs). Most Mac hardware provides this capability by default."
the thing is david you know pc's inside out (more than i know macs) and neither of us would swap because if we did we would be worse off, your 'fandom' is no different than mine.
the evangelism that comes from non power users is a bit odd though.

bit like 'cutting out and colouring-in' (design) and playing at making sounds on a keyboard because you're not good looking enough to be a pop star then.

really i would never have guessed that :-)

velocity boy [quote]MrSmith it's still far nicer than any pc.
Than any PC?
Me thinks you have overly generalised.[/quote]
yes i have. but compared to what most pc laptops look like which is generally a chunk of plastic with random buttons, lights and logos scattered upon it an apple laptop is a lot easier on the eye.
i can't think of any pc product that's made me want to pick it up and have a play with it.as for using them for work i don't know any photographer that uses one (but about 20 that use macs) so i can't say if a p.c. is any good or not. i have been told that p.c's can't run 2 monitors each with their own independent calibrated profile which makes them (pc's) useless to me and any other professional photographer. even my macbook can do this and it doesn't have a seperate video card
as for just wanting to surf the net and do the odd spreadsheet i'm sure a pc is ideal.

dr.oblong having dark fantasies about a phantom cyclist who rides round round-abouts all day waiting to be 'wronged' by a motorist so that he can exact a brutal and highly publicised mutilation of the driver with the result that it puts the sh1ts up the all the air heads at the wheels of death machines.
Liking this idea, I'm a total sucker for some good old-fashioned revenge, especially of the underpants-over-leotard variety... Sod polo, when do we start? ;)
Hope you're OK dr.oblong...

stop posting on forums and make flat caps you lazy millinerist wastrel

it reminds me of the apple cube. it's the bling overly designed mac for people who want to pose but not do any work. those who want a fast machine to shoot 30mpixel cameras tethered and then batch process raw files on location (and burn dvd's and write to external drives) will stick with a macbook(pro)
it's a loss leader technology curio, some of the features will make it into the other laptops but i wouldn't be surprised if it is dropped after a couple of years.
it's still far nicer than any pc.

you are taking the winter training far too seriously, shouldn't you be back at work?

I've been waiting for this thing to come out for ages so that I can finally ditch my G4 PowerBook, looks like I'll be getting a MacBook Pro after all... The Air seems a bit pointless to me, which is odd, cuz I pretty much dig everything they come up with...

call me crazy but I always ride with a brake, dunno what's wrong with me, but I just don't feel "safe" without one.

seen these? not cycling related but funny:

mail on sunday readers. I need to go to bed.

Mail on sunday riders wouldn't be seen dead near a non-steel bike. Aluminium is foreign, and increases house prices.
