Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Too skint from OCP affliction already to even toy with the idea. Plus I'm a student. In the UK. That means £13,000 debt and no job!

No problem, Bobby. Why not buy five tickets so that you can triple your chances of winning? Think about it.

I used to use the same saddle (selle italia ferrari) that's on the red one, and after about 3 weeks the colour had worn off leaving two black marks on it, where my arse cheeks rubbed. (No I don't have a fat arse) The seat retails here now for only 6800 yen (about $57 US)
The red bike looks great and I know it's a ferrari and should be red but, I'd probably go for this one >
PRICE:COLNAGO Ferrari: 1,500,000 yen (including tax standard retail price) ($12600 US)

About 8 or 9 years ago Gold frames were very trendy on the Gold Coast (my old City). They were Soren Son frames hand built on the GC. Anyway, I noticed the Gold seemed to "tarnish" and fade after a year or so. Maybe that's a common problem.

Well, I was about to send my money in when I read the details and saw the gruppo is only PLATED with 24K gold. I ask you...does gold-plating really spell 'major league poseur' to you? Me, neither. When they come up with an alloy of gold and titanium that has all the strength of titanium and all the beauty of 24K gold, then I'll buy a ticket.
