Bionic man

Bike no 1 - Campy , Shimano and SRAM mix Bike no 2 - Campy only Bike no 3 - Shimano only Prefer the Campy, clunk-clunk sounds so reassuring Then again my wife prefers the Shimano (I better keep quiet now)

On a PLUS side, I went to CYCLE LAB in WESTLAKE, they sorted out my Carbon Fork which another LBS said couldn't be sorted - 5 minutes work - oh yes - free of charge also. That is SERVICE

Hey there, TS, I am currently running Campag with an SRAM cluster and American Classic wheelset, adjustment must be spot on though. Done about 500km with this setup and no problems yet. I know you asked about Shimano but SRAM could be another option.

My favourite race is still to come but I love all those already completed in my 6 months of cycling.

Grown men aren't meant to cry but ......... I can't help myself. . and what a lovely smile, just makes my day.

It is a great ride, only very short - 15km then you hit a gravel road, next time I take my MTB with Total distance on tar of 30km.Bionic man2008-03-15 09:48:33

What a lovely ride, did this on Tuesday as a 'calm me down' from the Argus tour. PS - watch out for the Cobras and the wind can get hectic out there.

Five months ago I was a fat lazy couch potato smoking 40/day, 100+kg. 4 months of hard work, no smoking, eating right and I am down to 88kg. Instead of 2km, I now do 120km. My lovely wife decided to reward me with a set of American Classic rims, almost half a kilo off on the bike now and hopefully a sub 4 hour on my first ACT, starting at 9.27 so is going to be touch and go......

No, let him be, anyway win or lose, these ladies are winners in my eyes and should be an inspiration to all. (They are rather good looking too, I might add)

Maybe he has an inferiority complex and having woman whip his A$$ just sent him over the edge. Swear at a woman in front of me and it's time for some FUN. Well done to the ladies.(PS - it is just as bad in the m,n,o groups)

I suffered, suffered and suffered, never change your drink without testing first. Met Willehond, sorry if I slowed you down with all my talking. Oh, did I mention I suffered. Didn't realise cramps could get so bad. Otherwise it was fun.

Are slow pokes welcome? Sounds like a fun outing, count me in (+ 2 others), how about some more info?

Is me in the Sanlam kit and gold helmet - coooool, and my buddy behind in the Vittori outfit.I was smiling as I didn't know what I was in for

I was dropped on the first corner, took about 20 minutes before my legs warmed up, how many times did you pass me? I was in the old sanlam kit.

Just got back from Killarney race track, what a brilliant ride, as a first timer it was a definite eye opener, damn those guys are fast, I was lapped 3 times. Will definitely go back for more punishment. Averaged 31kph and almost emptied my stomach a few times. Now for a lovely massage

You guys are obviously not married, if my wife says stop, I stop, same applies to red traffic lights.(Most of the time)

Thanks for that, I might be a bit slow for most groups at the moment so will stick to a ride along Marine drive, give me another 2-3 months then I might keep up with the beginners
