Hi all I will be at the Tour de france next year, can't wait!!!! I will London next year for the start and will definately be at one of the mountain stages Who else is going???

Not so sure about the research thing, but you are right about the weight. The mavic cosmic carbone is a box rim with a carbon fairing, therefore heavier. I think it is stronger than the zipp but they are both great wheelsets, each having distinct advantages and disadvantages. It seems that the vote is swinging in favour fo the zipp so i say go for the zipp. I ride the cosmic carbone and can say they are great also. So it seems you can't go wrong so long as you limit your choice to either the zipp or mavic cosmic carbone

Heya all, just noticed this thread now, WOW u are one lucky chap to be in this position. Although i must add that i am partial to the Mavic Cosmic Carbone, i have a set myself and love them to bits. Your bike looks good with all those wheels, in fact it looks good without wheels as well. I say whatever set u choose u cant go wrong. I personally would opt for a profile set though and use any box rim for the windy days or when u come visit Cape Town So choose between Zip and Cosmic Carbone I love to see great taste like this in equipment! EXCELLENT STUFF!

tooHot!!!! will be in JHB for the 94.7 I trust u ladies will want to see more of me??? Chilli are u single????

Hi Bikemax, sorry i missed the race on Sunday, i opted to rather go train, i thought the weather would be worst. Bad decision on my part as i think you guys got some nice weather. I have kinda dug a nice hole for myself over the last 3-4weeks with my training having become very erratic due to illness and overseas guests but i have been training since last week consistently and hope to be back this weekend at BonnieVale. Hope to see you there.

Ha ha ha, you guys are something else Does this guy even know he is being stalked by the cycling community I have seen him before as well, even though we have uncovered him, there is still a dark shroud of mystery that surrounds the yellow-caped banana-man.

tooHot!!!! could not handle the heat, looks like things were tooHot!!!! for tooHot!!!! Although tonight i shall be spending the evening with Britney Spears in high heels and nothing else Man i have been carbo loading for this evening all day long. Hit me baby one more time!

I ride with the new impact time pedal. I have ridden time pedals for the last 4 years. The only pedals i will ever ride. Although i ride the new RXS impact (Time) and it tends to click alot, irritates me, so i have sent them in to be serviced. But i think you will be making a good choice if u choose the impact!

Hey guys Zippit is correct, an easy entry ticket is valid for entry on the morning of the race. You can also enter on the 20th, 21st and 22nd at the bruger kiosk at tygervalley with an easy entry ticket too. Just phoned PPA now and they confirmed it.

bloemfontein is lekker, i like bloem, hopefully no cattle grids, cos i think i am an outsider to take the title

I am too cheap to use drugs anyway, but i reckon I would need alot with they way I am riding. Are there any cattle grid crossings on the tour??? Drugs..... yawn! I have given up on this matter. Get used to it, just do ur best and hope that there is a small group around when u get dropped, that way you can still enjoy your ride

okay guys, i gtg take care and safe home See ya'll soon ciao for now

What must i do to get rid of you??? Francois, i am sure a man of my stature should get free entry to this wonderfull tour, I am suer you will agree. Please be so kind as to make sure there are no cattle grid crossings on route and ban Kilo-master

I'll enter, where can u enter? is it open to elites (ha ha ha)
