You ****ing nerrd :P

hehehe

so, tour talk. Specifically my pool picks. :) I haven't paid much attention in the past week. I just checked the standings and Hushovd is back to 83rd overall? Yikes! I mean, I know he's a sprinter so I didn't expect him to stay up at the top of the GC listings, but 83rd?! That didn't take long! He's still 5th in the sprinter category though. And Rasmussen still hasn't gotten any climber's points, but he's actually in 82nd place (oddly one place in front of Hushovd). I guess they haven't really hit anything that would really put him in his element though anyway. Have they even had anything beyond cat 3/4 climbs yet? T-mobile and Lovkvist are doing well though! (ps. Valverde was my yellow jersey pick)

it didn't look like mr bikeophile, i haven't seen him in a while but i didn't recognise this guy...

rasmussen has been on anti-biotics since the tour started, so that's affecting his performance. i'm sort of hoping that he'll shine once they hit the mountains!

i still think Kloden will be the man to beat once the tour hits the mountains.

Dude.... I was part of the nerd herd and acquiring restricted network access through social engineering before you were born.:p cira 1983

Landis is golden. Trick was to get as close to the front as possible before the rest day and the mountains lest you have to beat everyone soundly day after day (in the mtns no less) in order to claw your way to the top positions and take yellow. Landis merely has to stay with the herd at this point, and react to dangerous attacks only. If you're 8 minutes back, good luck on ya now.

Haa, I just saw you looking over at me and was thinking "Do I know this guy? He sort of looks like Branko, does Branko have a brother? Oh **** he's coming over." lol

Weekends at the shop are always crazy, I am always multi-tasking and have like 10 bikes I am doing simultaneously taking them off and on the stand while helping three customers at once.

We said hi, then I had to run around and when I looked to see if you were still in the shop you weren't.

Were you just checking out the shop or were you looking for anything in particular?

Hushovd was penalized at the end of one of the stages for not keeping his line, as a result he was pretty much screwed for the rest of the tour. He's riding better than 83rd place but thats where they put him. Kind of sad as I saw the replays and he barely did anything to deserve such a harsh penalty. I also like huge scandianavian people... they seem kind of wholesome and you gotta give respect to a guy named THOR.

I have to give my vote to Landis to win overall (everyone else is gone now!) although I really want Cadel Evans to take it because I like aussies.

Yea I agree I didn't see anything overtly dangerous in his sprinting. Besides isn't that what sprints are all about? What kinda pressure does give a kid being named after the Norse God of Thunder?

Almost as much pressure as naming your kid Skeletor. I've been going by my middle name for the past few years though.

Landis ftl: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/othe...ng/5166530.stm

Hrm, so I've read what you guys think and maybe I should switch to a lower front ring, maybe a 47 or so. I like how the 52 feels but yeah, in an emergency it might be a bit of a problem. Does anyone have one they wouldn't mind parting with? For a decent price?

And yes, I think leaving the steer-tube uncut is good for now as I am not sure how much I like this fork. I am so used to the aluminium Kinesis fork from my conversion that this one is a bit too spongey. Great input folks, I appreciate it ;)

Arrggh! Damn Toronto Film Festival website! I can't get my tickets cuz the website is too bogged down.

Way to upgrade your servers TIFF! :(

:lol: Atta boy... Skeletor, you get inside this instant and go clean your dungeon!!!!!!

Jet?... "aluminium Kinesis fork" Is that the sexy bladed one? If so, that puppies nice.

Yeah, I like it alot and have gotten used to it but the carbon is nice too, just takes some getting used to. I have a carbon fork on my Roubaix but it has a Zertz insert, which is apparently used for vibration dampening, so the carbon fork on the GT has quite a different feel.

HOT !! now that lady is HOTTTTTTTTTTTTT
