Edition 507

Yes, excellent service, trustworthy, reliable. I just bought myself a Scott CR1 SL frame from them, unbelievable prices, especially with the exchange rate. And they have some wicked sale items as well. I used them as a buddy of mine also bought a frame from them and was bowled over by their service. The bike was in the country in like 3 days or something insane! Fully recommended.

I just bought a 2011 CR1 SL. Thankfully it has a replaceable hanger It is a stunning frame, a bit understated in carbon greys, but I got it because Cav rides one and if he can push supa mega watts thru his frame that shoots him forward like a frigging rocket then that must be one stiff and responsive frame. Not to mention insanely light. By the way, who rides Giants anyway???? I can't remember Oh yes, some poor German who finished second place the whole time. Must have been the bike

Been there, done that, got the Glandular Fever t-shirt. There is not much you can do about it. Take the stimulant, it will help you cope with the exhaustion. Don't worry about WADA or drug free sport or anything like that 'cos I certainly doubt you gonna have the physical ability to place in any race while you sick, so you aint gonna get tested

I think a lot of these frame manufacturers employ gay interior decorators to co-ordinate the equipment colours with the frame colours to make the frame more appealing, because damn they come up with some pretty stuff! So unless you are building the bike up as per the pics you could make anyone of them look ugly with the wrong equipment. Anyway, for what it is worth, the Argon does it for me. The Cube is just way too kitsch and you would need some kind of a wardrobe consultant to advise you on your cycling kit with that bike otherwise you could end up looking like a regurgitated fruit salad.

I think LMG is quite macho in a way. Reminds me of my army days i.e. Light Machine Gun

Seeing as I am not as supple as I used to be (or so says my wife ) I think I'm gonna try one of these bars, even at the risk of being labelled a girlie metro sexual I'm building up a new bike so it is a good opportunity to try them out. Thanks for your input!

And if you got normal hands? Is it then uncomfortable?

Has anyone got an opinion/experience with compact bars i.e. better hand position, more comfortable, quicker hand movement (whatever that is supposed to mean, but thats what they say)? Let me know before I go and fork out bucks on a new handlebar

reddentedcar@gmail.com can contact the two cyclists on wedontgiveashit@gmail.com

Now that is beautiful!

That gave me a hard on Some stylish bling there for sure!

1 too many for me man

It has been scientifically proven that the lifespan of a carbon frame is inversely proportional to the size of your wallet.

Ja, I dunno how they do it, the masses have such strong will power! I'm trying to loose weight and it is a bitch going hungry. I have to fight the urge to eat that chocolate doughnut everyday! Anyway, you know you are a South African when you have robots instead of traffic lights

Actually I tend to believe Landis. Pro cycling overseas IS full of dope. They all do it, the peleton is on an even keel in my opinion, and it distracts nothing from the sport.

Thanks for the warning. Could you send us a picture of yourself and a list of races that you have entered please

Is it actually possible to fake a fake? Would that then make the fake fake real?

I like Montyzuma's terminology 'anti-dope' Now the rest of you mustn't be so dof. If it takes 24 hours to replace lost red blood cells then why are you only able to donate blood every 6 weeks? And the answer is that it takes at least 4 to 5 weeks to fully replace the red blood cells that were donated hence the recovery time between donations. If you are a serious athlete don't donate blood unless during the off-season otherwise you are going to experience a serious dip in performance for a good few weeks.

Thats exactly what it is. More scientifically know as dehydrated water. This is the process where you evaporate water, then carefully distill it into a crystal form and then it gets crushed into a fine hydrophilic powder which is packed and made available in handy 30g sachets. Each 30g Instant Powdered Water sachet makes up to 5 liters. Ideal for very arid regions and endurance athletes.

Chuck those cheapskate gloves away and buy something decent. In another months time they are going to look as faded and tatty as a third hand thrift store t-shirt and will totally spoil you whole image dude!

I think I am going to sell Instant Powdered Water at the next expo.

Okay, sorry, I confused obnoxious with facetious. Must be this 16GI thing. It has halved my intellectual output, but at least I know I am going to be stupid for twice as long as normal
