damm, some of this thread makes for depressing reading.

Oh well if its that kinda place then you might be interested in the BMX I'm selling.

:D

so is that image downloaded or did you make it and add the London bit on?

Flickwig: You can't hotlink images from blogger.com

Image is here though.

EDIT: fuck it actually.

You ignorant cock. You don't think Cadel doesn't bust a gut to ride at this level. Go the fuck back to hipsterville and leave pro cycling for people who understand it a little.
Robert Millar is Scottish. How many English riders have won the Tour?

Same number as the Aussies, The Welsh, The Northern Irish, Kiwi's and the Canadians. None. Maybe its something about being owned by the English. You should get out while you can. We used to own Ireland too and they've got a tour winner to their name.

I'm only messing btw.

Given that the English live next door to France I can't understand why so few riders here are racing at a pro level?

Because the department of transport or Police or something don't allow us to close off roads for road races (bar a few exceptions) - something like that anyway. Continental Europe on the whole is far more accomodating of Road Riding.

Evans is the Henman of cycling.

David Millar is so much more like Henman.

Great tour.

yeah I doubt that was stolen. More like he wanted more money for his precious bike (which looks to have been built from a parts bin)

Ok you have got me there, Fosters is SHIT, I don't know an self respecting Australian who drinks the watered down cats piss. Funny think is it was never popular in Aus, only you silly English types were gullible enough to think that it was a good lager beer in the early 80's. I deserve a Cascade Draught, a cold Cascade Draught... but I'm never going to get such a sweet nectar over here so I'll settle for some French tap water with colur, alcohol and bubbles added.

They don't sell Fosters in Australia cause Fosters also own VB which is equally as shitty so why compete with yourself in the shit stakes? (they also own Melbourne Bitter so they kinda already do compete with themselves)

You can get Cascade here but only in bespoke beer shops. You can get Coopers too.

I like Australian Beer but you can't seriously be suggesting its better than British beer? You have a few good brands of lager (Cascade, Boags) and a couple of nice Pales (Coopers, Little Creatures) but the majority of it is shit swill - we make more than enough shit swill ourselves mind you (Carling etc...) but the edge we have over you is we make more than just lager, pale ale and pilsner. In my time in the country I found one single beer thats even close to a real ale (Mountain Goat) and whilst its nice its no substitute for real ale. Also VB is not Bitter in the traditional sense and again Mountain Goat is the closest you come to (real) bitter.

So in summary: Australia - good for lager drinkers and Pale Ale drinkers (I'm not including Pilsner drinkers cause you don't do enough of a range to make it good) but useless for any other beer.

Also New Zealand makes way way nicer lager than Australia.

^^

For some reason that really reminds me of this guy. Especially if he was naked and wearing a pair of white socks & sandals.

In future can you keep your fantasies to yourself please?

WTF? THIS is a Bomber:

Not that poncey shit.

if the tt is reverse order, whats stopping schlek stopping and helping sastre??

Stephen Roche was saying they'd probably send Frank before Bernhard Kohl for this reason exactly.

They ain't stupid.

Kohl has been awesome. I know its not likely now but it'd be awesome if he could get a podium finish.

tbh I've grown up listening to Paul & Phil - although mostly Phil. So I like them but they've been a bit too annoying this year. I think its the ad breaks thing that makes me mad in the first place.

Eurosport guys are good. Sean Kelly is actually really funny if you can understand his accent and his mumbling.

The worst thing is it doesn't even include the following:

Saddle, bag, bell and flask are ‘models-own’, but are available by negotiation.

I think he means 'Saddle bag' not 'Saddle & Bag'

I dunno about you guys but I'm predicting Wim VANSEVENANT for the win. Probably get some good odds right now. He should easily make up the 3h 45m on the next stage.

Maybe they meant "designed despite a partnership...." - where though might work.

That Colnago looks stupid with those bars/grips and the fact that it was probably once a lovely looking road bike. Damm shame.

Very pricey though.

A grand? Its nicely done, but a GRAND? Fuck.

saunier duval and barloworld both announced they are ceasing sponsorship of cycling immediately

Barloworld announced that a few days back didn't they? Didn't know about SD but then its not suprising.

No way can Sastre ride away from Evans + teammates on a flat stage, and there is ABSOLUTELY no way they would attack the yellow jersey on the final stage. apart from the shame of it, no single team has the power to ride away from a peloton hell-bent on getting their sprinters to the line.

It's all about the time trial, simple as that.

The shame of it? There has been a race on the final stage before you know? I know its tradition not to but when needed its been done. I agree with you though it probably won't happen and yes this tour will be most likely decided on the time trial (although it may already be partly decided)?

^ Ha . . thats already been posted in the anti porn thread . . and its a fixed so no gears involved

I've got these tyres! My life is that exciting.

Guardian bloke tips Menchov for win

I'd have to agree with him really. Although something tells me Cadel is gonna pull some shit out of the bag (even if past form suggests he won't).

Cafe Italia has been suggested elsewhere on here.

Does that mean you'd have to cheer for Cunego?

@tallsam - be riding the galaxy too i've always been obsessed with wanting to skate Barcelona at least once so i might cycle down there on the galaxy, stay there a couple of weeks and fly back

canny wait!!!

That sounds awesome. See unless you are able to put the bike back together as a geared tourer then converting it would seem like a waste to me. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to do stuff like this.

Pics please - if you do go.

"shimano s.i.s system". that makes me angry when people say that.

i say go on the fixed touring bike.

Is it like when ppl say PIN number?

Personal Identification Number Number.
