platini, do you own one?
I was going to post a link to them earlier, I own a Humbolt, same as this but the smock version, really great bit of kit and an amazing company, probably one of the best customer services I've ever experienced. They're also ecological and ethical, but pricey, mine was £180 and that Stormtrack is £250!!

I'm afraid I don't - Assos is as spendy as I get...

Well done fatty. ;-)

You'll be needing some gay clothes then, apparently.

'gay cloths' surely?

a whole new bike starts to build itself in my brain.

So go with the flow...

I found freewheeling on a road bike terrifying, especially with their lousy brakes.
I also found road ratio gears totally pointless.
But on a slick wheeled road bike with no rolling resistance, you can start up on the hightest of ratios.

Interesting take on things...

Never needed to. Do your chainring bolts match the chainring? That is, are they from the same manufacturer?

Teenagers have always been little shits.

They didn't exist before the 1950s - I blame Elvis...

I think I need to go and live on a desert island with a couple of fit birds, loads of records, few dogs and of course a bike. Bliss! :-)

TBH it's not a choice between a crime-ridden city and a desert island. There are plenty of nice places to live in this country, despite what the Daily Mail et al would like you to think...

I had a tub roll off my back wheel at 60mph around 20 years ago - that was deeply unpleasant but I managed to stop. Now if had been the front...

From the wires:

The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) have spent more than $1-million in legal costs in the Floyd Landis appeal.
Wada president John Fahey said yesterday that they have contributed $1.3-million - five percent of their total budget of $26-million - to the US Anti-Doping Agency's (Usada) case against the American cyclist, who was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France title for a doping offence.
In a conference call with reporters, Fahey said he and Wada director-general David Howman would meet with Cas president Mino Auletta next month to discuss how to cope with the high legal costs involved in defending cases like those of Landis.
Wada said they agreed to offer financial support to the US agency for the Landis hearing after cycling's governing body, the UCI, refused.
Usada have already spent well into six figures to prosecute Landis, who lost his Tour title in September after a US arbitration panel ruled he used performance-enhancing substances during his 2006 victory.
A five-day appeal hearing before Cas was held in New York in March. A decision is not expected before June.

They could always get you for 'furious riding' that's been in force since the 19th century - long before bicycle speedometers... :-(

You were saying?

Ban the splitter! ;-)

VB, just out of idle curiosity, was TC ever posting as anybody else?

There are two girls who work in BLB. One is always really really nice, the other is more often or not a bit moody. Everyone else there seems really nice though.

Funniest was a guy on this forum who went into his local bike shop asking for a certain Crank ( cant remember what ). The guy said 'What are you a courier or something?' when he said 'No' guy said, 'Well why do you want to buy this crank. Are you trying to be one?' And pretty much refused to serve him.
Whats all that about?

You trying to get a rise from me too you bastard?

Nah, it was one of our newer compadres I had in mind - but if you want... ;-)

Sometimes I simulate flaming on forums by writing heaps of vitriolic bile in the text field.

Then I erase and replace it with something banal.

I wish a few more people would try that... ;-)

Guys, it's Thursdays for the angsty aggro, remember...

I'd rather a Bullingdon Boy over a Blairite any day of the week
