Slim pickings in the classifieds for your size and budget. This is pretty decent though. https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/road-bikes/453177/specialized-roubaix-carbon

Long enough and robust enough lever I guess you can bend anything. For a spinning bike I suggest take the pedal off, slip a meter long bit of square tubing over the end of the crank and go for it. You'll need to either take the crank off and lock it in a vice or somehow chock the flywheel if you want to do it on the bike. Macsteel do a 32x32 3mm thick one that would probably do the trick. If that deforms, go up to their 50x50 6mm thick one.

Last week I was going at over 90km/h down some mountain pass, and I was grateful I had gone up from the 80mm stem to the 100 and slammed it. I know I would have felt far less in control with the shorter, higher setup that was on the bike when I bought it. (also, I was so anti the aero frame story, but the Foil really comes into it's own - and it is more than capable on the uphill as well. I set a pb up God's Window and Kowyns (after 20 years+ of setting my previous best marks in race situations))

That was weird. I saw his name and my initial reaction was "why is he coming out of retirement".

I've heard/seen a lot of comments similar to this regarding hips opening and cycling. I'm always confused. I mean I genuinely don't know what that means. I default to wondering why you're giving birth or some such weirdness.

Yeah, I think so. I use Rydons with the insert, only seldomly, but it's always an adjustment when I wear them.

You okes need to trim your steerers.

Wouldn't it be simpler to just buy a used seatpost, and pop that in when working on/washing the bike?

You'd have thought having one less would let him get closer to the top tube? Speaking of bravery, you need only see his stunt when Beloki binned it to realise he would and probably could do anything on a bike.

He's a worker bee innit?

The point under discussion is the spastic stupid tuck. Lance wouldn't be caught dead looking so undignified.

Cute. I didn't know I was talking to one of those. As you were then, continue in a world where only Lance doped and he only ever won anything because of the doping. You believe in father christmas and the tooth fairy as well I assume.

Meh. Lance and Contador did it with style and panache. You CAN look like a spastic praying mantis, you don't HAVE to.

That he single handedly ruined the style of pro cycling for many, many seasons with that ever retarded stupid tuck position. We will never forget.

He's gone for a helmet fitting.

You could be right, but history shows the TDF guys are usually grouped together right from the start, with a few notable exceptions like the light in the underpants Lance.

You're thinking of One Nut. He purposefully hid his form from his rivals and is famous for suggesting he went harder in training than in early season races.

2013 - pre TDF season wins (for example) - The Tour of Oman was 11-16 Feb that year: 1st Overall Tour de Romandie 1st Prologue 1st Overall Critérium du Dauphiné 1st Stage 5 1st Overall Tour of Oman 1st Points classification 1st Stage 5 1st Overall Critérium International 1st Stage 3 2nd Overall Tirreno–Adriatico 1st Stage 4

His time would be better spent training then. This business of looking ***, and giving the psychological advantage to the opposition for months is gonna bite him in the discs.

Compare to say Pogacar? (I assume Pogacar will want to be good in July too...)

So, is Froome done? Languishing BEHIND maincheese in the TT at UAE yesterday? I mean, that's as has been as you get if even wee Louis beats you?

That's pretty narrow minded. You might be at home to not infect the other kids, but be feeling well enough to not be left behind by the teaching.

I dunno how true that is. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/12/02/climate/air-pollution-compare-ar-ul.html Numerous sources only have it at position 50 or lower.

One Nut Lance swears by his these days.
