Yup, plenty of Ticker in Flyin Ryan. Good to see he didn't sit down after losing the first race. What was with Meares. Wasn't really in her final two races. Out of juice?

Hey, quick question. You buggers have got me liking the new 05 cannondales (since you didn't bag them). Never really considered them before since they were all aluminium and I thought they'd kick my butt. But read a few reviews on roadbikereview of the Optimo 7 frame which people seemed to think rode the bumps well. I like the look of the 05 R1000 but it has the Optimo 8 frame. Anyone know anything about this frame and whether it would kick my ass worse than the Optimo 7?

(I know you fellas probably wish this noob would piss off with his dumb questions. But you got to help a fellow Aussie out. )
