To be honest I'm working but googling Liz sounds so much better......

Googling Liz Hatch like the rest of us. You?

What about the DBs who start raffles on a public forum to raise cash. Gotta love those guys. Toasting them as I write this.

I just wanted to try their dirt cheapest offering, the TRK. CRC only expect stock around 05/05.

Who stocks Selle SMP saddles locally?

I'd go for Kohl, Chancellor edition.

Oops sorry then, use some "tongue in cheek" emoticon so we know you're not serious. Apologies once again.

Where's the 'Nutter' emoticon?

That would be another fine.

If you could please find me a road like that with willing particapants I would sincerely appreciate it. Yours in eager anticipation. Swinging_Indurain

I feel sick (gross exageration) for having paid double what they're asking for those Sidi Sierras just a week ago. Thank heavens I didn't go for the Dragons. I'm comforting myself by thinking they wouldn't have had my size anyway.

Those Sidi shoe prices are fantastic.

Good day Grondpad, I just recently picked up the 2.1 from The Sports Basement and I'm very happy with my purchase. The price there was the limit of what I wanted to spend and I consider the acquisition to be somewhat of a bargain with the free helmet thrown in (I got the Rudy Project Zuma). However my intended usage is purely recreational/fitness so I do not have the same requirements as you. I just wanted to point out that the specs you posted for the 2.1 are a bit inaccurate. The crank is not a triple but a compact Shimano 50/34. The cassette is a Tiagra 12-30 and functions very well. Those who are more in the know can comment on whether the compact crank would be suitable for your needs. The fit is also H2, not H3 which is the more relaxed fit. Good luck with your quest.
