  1. Just bought the Velo bib shorts and at 25% off it's a sweet deal. Especially after someone mentioned my current shorts were a little bit on the see through side.
  2. Had a quick look on Gumtree and seems as though Gumtree ad is: a) 2 months old - possibly updated to make it reflect on the search results b) a 56cm model as opposed to a 54 that was stolen c) different wheels, different pedals as pointed out Unless there is another ad I didn't pick up?
  3. Lopez has been booted from Astana, wonder if that opens a door for Cav?
  4. I promised my son I would put him on the back of a tandem for this year's edition and he hasn't let me forget! So now I need to find one to ride but not keen on buying one. Any idea where I could borrow or rent one?
  5. Nope, back to slowest start first this year.
  6. Yeah, feels like there isn't too much standardisation going on with standards. Thru Axles are another area where there seems to be quite a lot of divergence.
  7. Just seemed like a lot of finger pointing and riding more than 2 abreast at the front to stop any further breaks. Maybe some harsh words were said.
  8. The footage today has me looking up all those forts and day-dreaming about cycling around Italy...
  9. Glad it went that far, hope it's a successful prosecution.
  10. Sorry if this is too close to home... One of those hasty replies.
  11. Or go for a ride, get bashed by a Polo and lie down in the back of a bakkie?
  12. Two corners in the deep south that give me mild panic when leading up to them. This corner on Chappies, overthinking about the entry speed, where my apex is (come in to soon and hit the yellow paint and slip, too wide and drift onto the opposite lane and risk collision). Most of the time I brake way before and take a safe middle line approach at sensible speed. Then the no camber left turn on Red Hill descent. Seen so many people panic taking too much speed into that corner and not able to maintain a line through the corner (even seen one guy shoot straight across and do some impromptu gravel biking down the other side). Glad the outcome of this incident was mostly good, so many fine margins and it could have been so much worse.
  13. What a beautiful build. I had a poster of a purple and silver Vitus on my bedroom wall in about 1995, some bikes just seem to burn into your memories.
  14. Did they have many left?
