The mens race was great. The womens race was negative and pathetic. Yep...saw a bit of the wimmin's.....followed the script. Hard tho...only 30 odd starters. |

WTF? Is he for real? And what about the quantity of adverts!?!? Shockingly crap coverage. Hey, I just put together a Tephra SL / Chorus package price for a customer. Comes in a smidge under 5k. Decent price? |

Decent price? I love weightlifting and refused to watch the Ch 9 offering.....on Fox, it was David Fordham and Comm Games record holder Damian Brown. 1000 x more professional and informative than that outdated buffoon. They actually let the suspense and excitement of the event tell the story....oh....andthey showed the WHIOLE competition. |

And it's only taken me 3 years to get down into that price bracket, too. I could go lower if some of the other OEs would actually sell to me. I swear, some of these people have an aversion to making money. -- Boonen. The guy has to be on the juice, right? He wins everything except the big tours. And if he got Cancer or shot himself, he'd probably win those too! :roflmao: Now, where's Dick Cheneys telephone number.... |
Strewth....I didn't know it had all that fruit on it!!
Deda, Thomson, Carbon Chorus.....all top shelf. A great deal. |

I'm 6ft 4ins and run 177.5's. Was going to go with the 180's except I wimped out basically.
My next roadie I wanna go Campy for a change, but the big 'if' is whether I could handle going back to 175s. Not sure Campy does a 180. Sh¡t, has Nev just roped us back into a crank length debate!?! How'd that happen!?! :p |
anyone else have to keep loggin in all the time on the forum? |
crank length debate?
