I've been trying to find out about the blackspade 29er here on the hub for a while. Where can I read some user reviews or chat to an owner about it or even ride it?

Most pointless bit of journalism of the decade award: http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/chris-horner-i-dont-believe-armstrong-cheated Chris Horner: I don’t believe Armstrong cheated WTF else could he say seeing the devil himself is still his team manager?

I hear there is no return to Knysna - Cape Town for the 10th anniversary of the Epic, Dr Evil has been busy in Tulbagh over the past week and plans are set in that area....

Saying a lot for someone who doesn't "give a flip" hey SwissVan

Or maybe he's just an atheist who has just been scolded for finding a cannibalism joke quite funny after all the events in that area over the past month despite a reference to The Son and now he's sulking despite seeing a gorgeous close up and realising that she doesn't fancy ginger kids who sulk?

I'll ask him and reply if he is open to share them.

So, because we respect his fight against cancer it's ok for him to lie and cheat. And make tons of cash for himself because of this lying and cheating? Cycling will never clean up it's act if everything is ignored because it's in the past.

Get a chain measurer. at 0.75 you need to change the chain at 1.0 you need to change the cassette as well

In your opinion, some of us thought it was hilarious

1999 sample from tour was tested once EPO test developed after he retired according to L'Equipe and found to be EPO positive 2001 Tour de Suisse was allegedly covered up in return for a sling to UCI

Of course your muscle will feel different if it's covered by hair. Disgusting.

I agree, strange coincidences. Unless, as all the believers want to convince us, it's a consiparcy! Ooh, never tested positive so he never doped. Make me laugh.

You don't get it do you? There was no test, just a max limit that all the riders doped to but did not exceed. When a test was developed it was speculated that a sample from 1999 was positive. Bjarn Riis won the tour in '96 fully doped and he did not test positive either....

This could so easily become a very popular thread for those inclined to advertise mutually beneficial but casual dalliances. It's all in the title

Only 2 guys did when the test was developed, that's the joke....but virtually everyone except your hero did it. There was no test, just a max level.

And don't all red blooded men like open bits? Or is that word only used in some english speaking countries....

Just some of the beauts in this story..... It's really simple, a vast empire (Livestrong) has been built on the image of a 7 times winner being cleaner than clean in respect of doping and cheating. The unknown author of the piece above is clearly a) an Armstrong accolyte B) an American playing the patriotism card c) clearly petrified that his long held beliefs are about to be shattered as a forgery and a lie. I love cycling, I love watching super fit athletes battle it out on slopes at speeds that we can only dream of achieving, the drama of the drop, the pain, the sprint. So many good things. I also don't care that most of the heros that drew me into the sport long before it was a mainstream television spectacle were dopers as they all doped. And it made for great racing, not the drudge we get today of Evans trying to steal a few seconds here and there. What I do care about is that one guy achieved so much more and beat ALL the dopers and hasn't got the strength to say Yes, I'm guilty, I doped, I misled you. He is a liar and that's why I get excited when, finally, he cannot compete as an athlete due to questions about his record. I sincerely cannot believe any cyclist with even part of a brain can still believe Armstrong won 7 Tours de France without ever taking anything he should not have taken. While everyone he beat doped. And his helpers doped.

Because he cheated and lied about it. SwissVan must be feeling a real idiot this morning having believed and defended these lies for so long...

I think it's fair to say we all know he doped. It's his constant denials and fakery that drives these ongoing stories.

Boring or not, he can't compete. http://velonews.competitor.com/2012/06/news/usada-levels-doping-charges-at-armstrong_223773

It seems to change when you shutdown your browser and clear the cache, there have been a few posts about this and no definitive solution.

You not confusing "on the podium" with "on the mat" in JB's office after the event getting kakked on? Oh no, I forgot JB uses the press to *** out his riders!

I don't think having Basso on his team as is going Nibali any good once the pace gets above walking pace and the hill gets steeper than flat, Basso was such a disappointment in the Giro, time to make way for some young untainted guys?
