I don't think they feel

Closer to the truth.

But I suppose empathy with those you govern is difficult from the end of a mile of private drive.

^As opposed to the pirates currently taxing it?

^^ What are the rules on slander?

Did public money go into development of oil infrastructure, if so can I get my share before the divorce is finalised?

Ask your Dad.

Yes. No.

Hippy demoted to EWNI (England, Wales & Northern Ireland) 24 Champion.

I think ye'll find it's oor oil.....

Salmonchild, are you sure you're not Salmondchild?

Who gets to keep Chris Hoy? What would happen to UKIP? Would we still have a Curling team? Would the remaining Scottish Conservative go extinct?

We need answers.................

Worth every penny, I have a nephew who might be interested, will ring him today.

Sosenka himself weighed around 80kg.

Of which 1kg was pharmaceutical (allegedly).

For informing me that no tightening of the cranks will solve a broken bottom bracket.

Did he fit a new bottom bracket for you?

^You'll be fine in forrin jerseys!

Basic jersey laws: No current pro teams, no championship jerseys, no national team jerseys, no club jerseys unless you currently ride for them, no leadership (yellow/polka etc) jerseys. In short: nothing you haven't earned!

Defunct pro team jerseys are fine, preferably in wool, as are forrin amateur teams. 'Novelty' jerseys should be viewed with the same contempt as 'novelty' ties. Lycra should come with a weight limit. skinsuits are frowned upon unless you're actually racing at the time.

This is the law, transgressions are punishable by ridicule.

Bets are that's In-Gear in Uckfield. Loadsa bling MAMIL trap. I should know, I allegedly ride for their team....

The worst part about trying to ride yourself thinner (and fitter) is finding out that you have to get fitter just to keep riding. Three 40 mile commutes in a row and I'm bloody knackered and no lighter....

1 part sick bag
2 parts mountaintop
3 parts indeterminate vegetable matter

What does that make?

A mountain biker. Idiot!

Sorry, can't help you.....

^CN Carbon, just add your choice of hub to their 23mm rims, that's what they advertise as CX wheels with disc hubs.

Anti is only fun when the owner thinks their bike is beautiful, on which basis ^ that is hilarious.

Anyway, this thread is redundant, just tap in 'fixie' on Fleabay for hours of fun and vomiting....

Wrong, Contis can be extremely useful (just not on your wheels).

Bugger, now I'm on the naughty step. I can see my future, it involves regular chain cleaning until all anodising has worn off. However, it only cost £30 for chainset and chainring, that's less than a wrecked chain saved by paying £80.

^Trade Description Act fail.

^^^Of course technological advances matter, otherwise how could I con myself that I was as strong 15 years ago as I was in '82 aged 21!? I fear that technology can't save me this time......

Call that a brick? THIS is a brick!

^Ah, the fat bastard conundrum.....

Marginal gains/free speed innit, gains that marginal don't matter at my level, but would to a pro (or anyone trying to flog extremely expensive kit to MAMILS).

But, I have bars which are in line with my base bars AND they're S-bend, Tester and Upsidedown approved, double win!

^Spot on, but very few spacers with the bars and in all honesty I have yet to fiddle with my position so as yet it's not fully finalised. At my level I suspect the difference will be approx 'bugger all'.

Wiggins and Froome are both tall, so I suspect the risers are also to allow for minimal frontal area of frame and low top tube as well. For us vertically challenged mortals a small frame frontage can be achieved without them.

^I know that, you know that, but does HE know that!?

The lower base bars a la Wiggins etc would give a better sprinting or climbing position, which is probably more relevant to them than us. Presuming we'll spend most of our time on the tribars, their position in relation to the saddle is all that matters, it will be the same unslammed without spacers as slammed with them.

Game on, Hefty, but maybe we should PM our times rather than expose them to Internet glare.... If you go slower than 30, I'll nail a copy of your time to every tree and telegraph pole in the Cambridge area. Dying to see your fabled Burls!

You could always ask for the broken axle 'to see if it matches one I've got at home', no embarrassment or suspicion either way.
