At least this guy has a sense of humour with his fake:

Unless the bike was branded as Pinarello there is nothing illegal about selling it. On forums worldwide their are people documenting their purchase of these frame and referring to them as Chinarello's. We're not stupid and know that these frames are disposable pieces of plastic but at 3K a pop who cares. The target market for these frames will never buy a real Pinarello anyway so no one loses. Taking that frame and trying to sell it as a real Pinarello, now thats a different story altogether.

I managed to buy a Toupe saddle from Sigma Sport in the UK a couple of years ago. Not sure if they still do Specialized online though.

What! And Dragons didn't have the task force come and take you away for water boarding yet?

About 6 years and 7 months. Give or take a couple.

That frame does it for me too. You certainly deserve a jolly good whack on the side of the head.

Could be anything really. Many companies used tange tubing, even Colnago for a brief period. Tange 900 was a more budget oriented tubeset though.

Its a business, not a charity.

That should should really take off in Brackenfell.

Now and again on eBay. But very expensive.

Besides, the top is where the naked lady insert goes.

You sir, you have no taste! Those are art.

The only five fingered gesture I've seen is the "I'll slit your throat gesture". That could be mistaken for a wave I suppose.

Read his post again. He was highlighting what had been said on this thread, not what he personally believes.

A bit of a flaw with this model is that just about every ebay seller will only ship to the address registered to your paypal account. This is for fraud purposes and there are no ifs or buts to get around it. Otherwise not a bad idea.

And what happens when the guy you are so self righteously reprimanding pulls out a gun and blows your brains out. What about your family and friends coping with your death because you get your knickers in a knot when other people transgress. Just leave things be, keep you own nose clean and what happens, happens.

Unless you're a cop you have no right chasing someone down when they break the law. If you want you can report them to the police but that wont get you very far either. Just ignore them, natural selection will take care of them at some stage.

I don't respect Tyler at all, and I never will. I see his telling the truth about everything as his obligation, and not as a means to gain my respect. If he saw Lance taking drugs then he needs to say so. If he makes money off this then so be it, that's between him and 60 minutes, but I want to know that he's telling the truth. From the way people are going on on this thread, you would think that they would rather live with a lifetime of lies, or silence, rather than the truth come out just because a bit of money changes hands.

Thats how any level headed person would read it, but the fanboys who have man crushes on Lance can't remove their emotions from reality.

I suppose it has its moments.

I bet you every single pro cyclist that has taken drugs did exactly the same, kakked off, sweated bullets, puked and geenrally suffered. It wasn't good enough, because everyone else around them was doing exactly the same as well injecting themselves up to their eyeballs. Taking drugs doesn't mean these guys suffered any less, because it was and probably still is a level playing field. I can imagine the reluctance of these guys coming out now to be the fall guys, when they know full well that just about everyone else around them was guilty of the same offence.

Thats probably not a lie either. What he should have said is; "I never ratted out on Lance in front of a Grand Jury". But he didn't say that now, did he, because then he'd look like an idiot when the actual truth comes out.

No, I think sprinters should dope so they can actually make it to the finish. Showing us that they're human is weak and disgusting.

I just care about the truth coming out. I don't want to be Tyler's, Floyd's or Lance's buddy, so I couldn't care about their current personal circumstances. Lance is like a stuck record about him being tested so much. The only reason he's the "most" tested athlete in the world is because that's what he tells everyone. All professional athletes get tested, all the time. Marion Jones was tested all the time, and she only went down because she eventually confessed. The house of cards is starting to crumble, and all the Lance fanboys are going to have to find themselves a new idol to worship.

Campag all the way. Just be sure to buy your replacement cassettes and chains from overseas. The local agents aren't really happy with the fact that you only have one arsehole and would love to rip you another.
