big.mamma Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Why would you name your shop after the "Yellow Jersey" when you don't even have one? ;-)Because you can? DIPSLICK 1

Greybeard Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Probably an "Overkilled" topic but when was the last really gripping TDF?Who recalls those team trials that were taken out because the frogs had no answer.Will we ever see a Lance vs Pantani type duel, or Ulrich for that matter.Last years was about as boring as tea with the queen!

Hmm ja know what u mean..LAnce vs everyone else LOL... BUT Froome vs Contador is going to be interesting and the "local" interest with Froome will help make it more interesting
Witkop Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 LA had 7 tdf wins, before he failed to defend accusations against him for doping (implicitly accepting that he cheated). He now has none. Yes he owns a number of cycling shirts that are yellow, but he can no longer claim he earnt them. He is like a fun rider at the Argus with a lot of yellow clothing in his cupboard. A very fit poser. Sad really.
eddy Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Will we ever see a Lance vs Pantani Ferrari vs Fuentes type duel There you go, fixed for you Gavmeister 1

I posted this elsewhere this morning: http://www.atwisteds...tour-de-france/ “I am sending a list of 10. Not nine, but 10, [Thursday], internally for the riders. But I don’t think we’re going to formally announce until Wednesday morning next week,” said Jonathan Vaughters, the sartorial force behind the Garmin-Sharp squad. Edited June 21, 2013 by Tumbleweed
Bat-ass Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 I think it's a good marketing match.... LA being the bad boy of cycling.. I think Parlee want to be seen as a cult type brand after they were represented by the dude In the movie Primium rush.
SwissVan Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Heading off topic but....saw a tweet this AM saying Sir Brad might ride for Garmin in TdF.......tongue in cheek I suppose but can you imagine the rivalry that will be there.....Frooome vs Contador vs Wiggo We already know Froome can ride wiggo off his wheel on a climb.... Contract signing time starts how long after the TDF?
Antoo Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 And the eternal pessimists come out to play.... Parlee overpriced, I suppose given my limited budget, is way out of my range, though there obviously is a market for them, given that they've survived all these years.Trek on a spiral down hill, with Lance moving to Parlee - like cycling, they were there before Lance took honours at TdF and they seem to have survived after his retirement and subsequent fall from grace. While I think that Lance is somewhat of a legend, the wheels have been turning since before the Pennyfarthing..Funny enough, given some of the acid comments made by many 'lance haters', they appear to have about as much character as he does. It was poor character that led to his poor judgement. Then again, most mobsters/stone throwers are not very forgiving of those that mirror them selves. The way I hear it, Armstrong has not stopped riding, swimming and running, since his fall from grace. He seems to have moved on a wee bit better then many of us functors
Greybeard Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 There you go, fixed for youPoint taken, but now that the playing fields are "Level" again lets hope that we can "Sit in front of the TV" and enjoy some real competitive tactical riding. If the Giro was indicative of what we may expect, great!
rock Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 why's he concerned it's 15lbs (6.8 kg) news flash, the UCI doesn't give F#@ck how much your bike weighs anymore.....
