I thought it was spelt with a D :p

I'm thinking of splashing out for the latest SSL's or the ES's if the budget permits....so I might be talked into parting with my SSC's (03's the originals)...rarely trained on...very good nick, shimano splined,....I could be talked into it for $550? (+ shipping)

So if i picked up a set of 05 SLs with a dura ace 10 speed cassette for $300....?

So nostrodamus, what's gonna happen tonite? Kloden? Rassmussen? Evans?

Don't think this stage suits the true climbers, more someone like vinny.... or .... EKIMOV

....you wouldn't want mine!!!...the cassette alone is worth $180 new...you've done well there....either that or you've mugged some bloke!

nostrildamus predicts a medium sized group will take time from the main bunch, expect to see cadel, kloden, hincapie, popo, landis etc all up there....
Landis to lose time when the action heats up.
Kloden to be strong but wilt in the last ITT.

your thoughts?

*rubs baseball bat :D
A mate got them even cheaper and doesnt want them, he also doesnt want to profit greatly...

ahh, what are mates for!!....one of mine sold me an EH Holden many years back......."barely run in".....bastard ***** itself about 10 minutes after I picked it up....never seen so much oil in one place....fair dinkum, JR Ewing woulda wanted to build a derrick on the spot on the road...........

nice buy Pshaw. i picked my elites new still in plastic for $500, but i think youve trumped me there!

Anyone else staying up tonight?
And how FREAKIN fast is Robbie?

Thanks, think your name is in todays paper GR?
Want me to keep it for the grandkids? Nice win....

Mine are the 03 SSC's as well. But with Campy. Checked out the latest SSL's with the red bling spoke the other day. Look pretty nice but for the same cash you could get some pretty sweet hand built puppies as thylo was saying....

Oh yeah...good get, pshaw - that's a killer Scottish deal :D

Hitchy, Soul-Kozak hubs with IRD Cadence rims and DT Supercomp spokes weigh in at about 1300g depending on how they're laced. I'd happily crash a set into you, if that's any indication :D

I can get Zipp404's for 2k Aussie if I can freight consolidate them. (ie: Ship them from overseas with other heavier stuff.)

I have to admit, if I could get them, I'd also be pimping Rolf Prima wheels. They are the kings of the prebuilt wheel world. Why they don't kill the Ksyrium farce is a complete mystery to me.

looks like Mayo will be coming home in the 'autobus' with the sprinters....what is it with Spanish climbers?, they promise so much, but rarely deliver (heras & the odd Vuelta accepted)

Maybe he hasn't been able to see his doctor...

My brother had some Rolfs a few years back & had no end of dramas with them. Weren't Primas tho...I think they were vectors or summit like that. Ended up trading them for some hand built Mavic rim/chorus hub jobs.

Sounds like Rolf might have got better since then.

Honchar' s going of the back too...Looked like he was pushing something like 39/25....& it gets steeper the last couple o' k's before the summit.

Tiger,

so can you source these?.....good & strong?....1300gm clinchers?.....how many spondoolies is this gunna cost me?

really? ya keep it if you can ? want to mail it to me at work?

any idea what the gap back to 2nd was? can get a straight answer and theres no result posted yet :(

howdy there little buckaroos. . . .
I was thinking its probably time to kill this thread (well put it into
suspended animation) and start "THE AUSSIE THREAD part 5"

what say ye gentlepersons?

Oh the pain...

It's not there marty. You mean we get to vote on it this time? :)

Go part 5 I say.

I finally got the nod from the insurance company - YAY! Market value on my old bike (2002 aluminium GT with ultegra) is $1800, plus new lid and tights, I'm going to collect just under $2100. That leaves me about $500 short on the new bike and stack hat, but that's OK as I picked up a near new full carbon and ultegra bike that retails for $5000 for $2500.

Good work on the tool recovery bbw, and nice effort with the rewards.

thread 5, for sure !

How about waiting until the posts hit 10,000? Nice round number that. :)
