Pantani

so when you said you wanted to get into her pants' date=' someone took it the wrong way??[/quote'] Not quite... Cross dressing is the scandalous act of mixing and matching your cycling kit! here I am captured mixing a Cyclelab jersey with a pair of F Des Jeux shorts... I know, I should be ashamed...

This isn't exactly cross dressing... I was once found guilty of cross dressing...

Or there are these offerings from Diadora for 2009... http://www.diadoraextra.net/webapp.diadoraextra.net/webapp.prodotti/_img_depot/foto_prodotto_1475_en.jpg http://www.diadoraextra.net/webapp.diadoraextra.net/webapp.prodotti/_img_depot/foto_variante_2673_en.jpg

The Diadora have been good to me, very nice shoes but the big difference between them and the Sidi is the softness of the leather upper, the Diadora is harder than a granite kitchen counter. Also, the Sidi heel cup system provides such a snug fit, coupled with the suppleness of the leather upper I really want to get a pair. Great fitting shoe. I see Totalcycling has some very reasonable pricing on Sidi's...

Diadora... But I am Sidi curious, tried a pair on about a month ago and very nearly fell in love with them... http://www.diadoraextra.net/webapp.diadoraextra.net/webapp.prodotti/_img_depot/foto_prodotto_922_en.jpg Wouldn't mind moving on to a pair of these... http://www.sidiusa.com/new/large/Ergo2CarVer_WhiVer.jpg Pantani2009-01-05 11:04:23

No harm done, post some pics, just not those enourmous ones that need 3 web browsers side by side to view...

Eish... stop force feeding people Louis Garneau...

OK, so this ride is going over the side that has that maaaaaaaaaaaaasssive hill?

What now? Am I under surveilance? Did you see the rolls of fat? Anyway, I have ridden about 3 rides since recovering from my fractured ankle, so I have concerns about such a long one. But I guess a ride home is only a phone call away so I can risk it...

Eish... What pressure... Old timer making me look "swak"..

But I'm scared....

Somehow I doubt the distance... I'm thinking more like 180km... Shew, that a long way to ride, especially since I have hardly ridden for the last 3 months...

Will you be doing a lap of the reserve or just going there and coming back?

Eish... what sort of speed, and how much food and money should I bring... and... Ermmm... suppose we will be gone for 10 hours?

Is this happening?

101% bum, what does he know about Trek? So what if he has had 5 in the last 2 years?!!!!?? Hehehe... OK, I wil give him a tinkle...

Does anybody have diagrams for the geometry on the size 54 frame? Can't find it anywhere, maybe one of you knows what the top tube length is?

No... Dobby son operates on another level in another space and time... He has no equal, it would be stupid to try and operate in that head space, he has acquired the highest level of Zen peace...

Thanks but no thanks... I don't know if I could handle conversations on quantum physics and corollaries on the theory of relativaty delivered monotonously (pronounced "makes you want to slash your wrists") at 4am...

What time will you be passing Bryanston?

My shoes were 4 gorillas!!!

Also, your statement is a contradiction in terms... You can't be sensibly blinged? Bling is all about self gratification and excess. There's nothing sensible or rational about it...

turtlek, that image is huge...

Agreed, Sidi is to road cycling what Bentley is to the fabulously wealthy, something you buy even though it has the aerodynamics of a brick. But you didn't buy it for it's aerodynamics... It's like buying a Harmon Kardon amplifier with nothing but a volume dial in the middle and the pleb from next door asks where are the lights like he has on his Aiwa 2000 PMPO "karaoke hifi"? If you want lights buy a christmas tree! These two offerings are for the nouveau riche, they still can't believe Amex gave them the card!

How much? I wouldn't know, but expect to pay nothing less then three gorilla's... I don't know if a person who goes out to buy a pair of shoes like this is interested in form versus function, durability and versatility. Buying any of these constitutes a shameless act of vanity, buying them for any other reason just wouldn't make sense... I mean, who goes out to buy a shoe because they are comfortable? No, that's just ridiculous, you buy shoes for the Bling factor, nothing more, nothing less... Pantani2008-12-22 07:38:29
