  1. I own one and love it. Great for travelling with a bike, something that I do a fair share of. Was almost overweight coming back to Europe this year as I left my bike and bike bag at home but needed the splint to come back with me. Just keep in mind that it protects the bottom half of your bike, you still have to wrap the top tube and wheels properly to prevent them from getting scratched/damaged. Thanks for that idea Johan, never thought about that. Will give it a try.
  2. I don't mean to show off or anything, but understandably I am rather chuffed with myself right now so feel the need to share. Please ignore the horrendous saddle position, steerer tube excess and the current lack of bar tape. All to be amended once I get to the training camp. For those of you who dislike the pink, fear not, it is only a small stripe on the right side of the bike, the left side has a white stripe.
  3. Hey, that looks pretty schweet

  5. Did she get it from her brother or the father of her child? Or do the three of them all just share? Something like this would surprise me if it were in SA, but in Italy... Ol?....
  6. Thanks for reminding me
  7. as opposed to everyone else who is nekkid?
  8. With all of the backup stops along the way battery life shouldn't be too much of a problem. 70km between stops with your crew.
  9. I have no idea, but good that you getting organised early. The home made jobbies that lead me through the desert were not great last time.. If it's full moon again you can always just ride by the moon. Best experience ever!
  10. SHOTGUN the one on the left You can have Frederica, if you can get past all of the bumbling Italians who are already lined up...
  11. Sorry, I don't understand what the problem is? I think it is a great pity, but have heard some explanations that sounded reasonable to me (not for me to go into). I have had to find private sponsors for my trip to Morocco and will be going on my own. Never easy to do, but I think that the effort will be well worth it! I owe a lot to First Cut, Splashworks and Rosewall Agencies who are making this campaign possible for me. Thank you!
  12. Please! He is being honest and he is right, give the man a break! To cyclists the Olympics are not that important. I am not at all bothered by the fact that I am not going to the Olympics, but if I don't turn pro at the end of the year my whole world will turn upside down.. For many sports the Olympics are the biggest and most important event that there is. In cycling that is not the case. One reason for that is that cycling is a team sport and your pro team pays your salary, not the country whom you compete for at the olympics (the world Champ gets to wear a jersey all year which makes a big difference to a pro team). As for Olympics for Amateurs... The Olympics are for the best athletes in the world. Not for amateurs who want to step up a level. Not to mention that most amateurs are on more drugs than the pro's so that won't improve anything (if you want to fight doping sort out the UCI/ASO/everyone battle and the problem will be gone before you know it).
  13. Publicity and propoganda are amazing things. Reading the press release nonsense about the new BT and hearing what the riders say about the thing is rather amusing.. And that Koga could never have cost that much. But look how much media interest it has created and how many people are now interested in Koga bikes. There is a reason for everything, justa pity that it is not always clear what that reason is..
  14. Evans already prooving that he is not a boring rider at the Dauphine. Gotta love it!
