Hows this for rooted fellas. There's this guy on mtbr.com currently arguing that titanium used in military equipment is put to better use than in bicycle use, because in military equipment it "helps save lives".

Gee, and I always thought that the institutions that SAVE lives were ones like Amnesty, The Red Cross and Medicins Sans Frontiers! Turns out it's the MILITARY that saves lives! I've been wrong all this time! Shame on me!!!

:rolleyes:

Farken morons.

so link it and we can have a gander at this nosense you speak of.

uuummm, where's the landing?

Most riders taking a jump like that end up landing on their butte :lol:

reminds me of a jump a canadian guy takes on "drop in" , goes horribly wrong when he fluffs the take off and results in 2 shattered ankles...... ouch.....

The bike shop is recommending a new bike to the insurance company. It's a hell of a way to get an upgrade :)

Now what to buy ??? Maybe I should start a thread on it - NOT :p

Bikeforums......the forum that would not die.

Did somebody say 'insurance upgrade'?

Chaaaa-CHING!

you guys see these pics?

by the way, how knackered is the forum??!!!

erm... very.

Apparently Joe had some 'database issues' and stayed up all night trying to fix them, accoring to Patty.

Damn technology, it's such a beyatch sometimes (ergo, my foray into firewalls, routers and port-forwarding).

So what are we looking at, 531? Lance and Greg letting themselves go, having one extra twinkie? I'd say 'welcome to my world', but I don't have a body full of buckshot, and both testicles seem to be okay.

spot on! :)

Ironically, they'd still spank us both.....hungover with one gimpy knee and a bent rear derailleur hanger.

no doubt!

In fact, it looks like LeMond might be spanking those guys in the pic.

Lemond looks like one of those big arse East German sprinters in that grey jersey. Greg Huebner.

Is that a Bell/Rebok Pump helmet I spy?

One would say he's looking very 'Sphérique'.....or dare I say it......'Le Monde' even.

Har har har.

a guy on the Serotta forum said he saw Lemond do a talk a couple of years ago, but
apparently all Lemond would talk about was selling his bikes.

Cant blame him, advertising is a hard business these days. could be bs too, it was on another manufacture's forum.

Paging Jock....

Finished me exams on Tuesday, Im on holidays for a while. Any chance that we could get a ride together? Up to Maitland and back?

No point arguing with them, its not worth the effort or the higher blood pressure :eek: Its the same boat as Miranda Devine.

Heres some linkies for Wednesday Night viewing:

Anti RIAA protest, please help out

Bush carvin' it up :p

Armstrong = the new Ullrich?

Next time your in LBS ask Tony or Nick to show you the videi of the guy doing the huge gap jump and stacking it :eek:

Someone should remind this turkey that most of the titanium in the world comes from Oz - and he's got the nerve to tell us how best to put it to use.

If we told them they couldn't have any more I'm sure they would just come and take it - it's unlikely that too many lives would be "saved" doing that!!!!

Knowing the toss-buckets over there, the talk was probably ABOUT his bikes. They were just too busy reapplying their brown lipstick to notice the sign on on the door.

The missus has one of those helmets.

Thanks for the links, Kotter. Here's another one.
