There was a case of a Roubaix frame cracked a while ago. Lots of letters and e-mails (I think it was a hubber). After much publicity and e-mails it was replaced - e v e n t u a l l y .......

You get to bragg that your wheels are bigger than theirs !!!!

Hey BigH, where are you based now?

I think he's dreaming up the next color scheme for that Cervelo - not too many options that he hasn't tried already so it's taking some time. Actually, he became quiet soon after he became Moderator - maybe he's still here, only in 007 mode only!!!

Hey HS, was just remembering the same about last Christmas. He's fine now and all a distant memory. I mostly only browse sometimes now - a very selective poster (or is that poser )racman2008-11-26 23:20:03

I haven't seen any hubbers ...

Interesting how different people's experiences are. I had a Reflex FX-25 and my son the FX-15. I did not enjoy either and neither could he. We sold both at a ridiculous price. I found the geometry too relaxed (more Harley than bicycle ) and the rear shock was permanently locked on mine due to the severe pedal bob (yes we did set the shock up properly and even had it double checked by the LBS). So, it ended up being nothing more than a very heavy HT. I would not buy one again, but this just highlights the fact that you should test ride and decide for yourself.

What make is it? I don't know if I am worthy of riding any major brand of bike, now that the TdF riders use Giant etc. Damn, didn't LA use Shimano ?!!! Can't use that either as it might be considered as posing which in turn would cause puking .... we can't have that. racman2008-11-17 11:00:56

Has it got ANY carbon on it? Also cannot have anything above Deore as I am not a pro you know so should not be riding even LX or any hint of carbon. Oh @#$%, just realised I've got a pro helmet - what am I to do now !!!

why is everyone talking about people walking up hills on expensive bikes. I have never walked up a hill while cycling @#$%. It is all relative: so the hotshots smirk and "puke" at slower riders who can afford better bikes, while the league riders smirk and puke when they ride past the amateur hotshots, while the pros smirk and puke while they ride past the league riders, while the ...... I'm outta here - going to sell my Ducati 996' cause I can't ride like Troy Bayliss so I clearly have no right to own one !!!!

No man, stating that the whole Tdf peleton dopes doesn't qualify as "I told you so" on every revelation Mud Dee

At least he wasn't part of my Hub TdF team - so I aint giving back any prize !!!!!

Also lived in KZN (go Sharks !!!), PTA, JHB, CT (for only two years) and now back to JHB. It's not the heart I'm worried about moving here !

right (KFC anyone ?)racman2008-09-23 14:56:40

Sadly I'm not doing DC this year' date=' [/quote'] Sad ? I doubt it !!!!

Jabba - she said 44+!!! the other is only likely to happen when hell freezes over which is a substantially lower temperature !!!!

Shouldn't you rather be more dedicated and use the time to practice for the DC !!!

Yip, you're right - also saw a brilliant sunset through the electric fence and barb wire the other night - stunning !!!

No,no, not moved yet - back there Thursday 'til Monday and then up here again for the next few weeks (I'll bring some decent weather with me on Friday Skye!) Sunny skies now forecast for CT for the weekend !!!

Nothing, Nada, Zip, Zilch, Niks, Boggerall !!!!

WOW!!! I leave you guys for just 2 months and look what mess you've made !!!!!!

what size frame are you looking for?

Nice bike STM (But what happened to the planned respray in custom colors ?)
