Last year's T-Mobile Giants have had the guts cut out of them. I reckon if you sounded a bit keen, they'd get another haircut.

Did they have the new Cannondale system6 with the big fugly headtube?

Confirmed.

Loks like a big Dorf tap from Reece plumbing.

531Aussie 02-15-07 10:32 PM

yeah, they're massive -- I want one :)
I always liked the Team Saeco Cannondallies



A guy started a thread to brag about his 720 pound leg press, titled: "I can leg press more than you"

Hey Ed, got a little tear in one of my quads (rectus I think). With good management it'll be fine in a couple of days time, but what's the chance of reinjuring the site doing standing starts on Sunday week? Any way to avoid reinjuring it apart from not competing?

Tears aren't much fun. I recommend 2 weeks off completely......but if you can't help yourself, take it easy.

all the leg muscles get excellent blood flow, so it should heal well if left alone.

Just as I suspected. Guess I'll hafta blow Beauie away to preserve myself for the States. Dammit I can climb little hills without any problems, but I have zero confidence with standing starts. Thanks bloke.

matagi 04-27-07 02:05 AM

Unpasteurised cheese and fresh foie gras - unfortunately they won't make it past Customs :(

Why not? Couldn't you carve the cheese into the shape of some nice breasts and get some poor flat-chested lass to act as your cheese mule? Your on your own with the liver though.

Wot, even worserer than Koffee on a bad hair day?!??? No way. You'd need to drink beer, or take bad acid or summint to be the worst ever. :D

I wasn't going to mention her by name, but really, you'd have to be new to call me the worst, hey? And I did have a beer the other night, so that's like 8 for the year.

No complaints living here, other than the people. We've got a friend visiting from Newcastle, and she's a bit shocked. Yeah, they're stupid, and poor drivers, the lot. We had the polygamy discussion the other night. Who in their right mind would want more than one wife? I say get a mistress if that's your thing, but more than one wife is more than I can afford.
