I saw a new Ciocc Challenger frame on special for $2700 at some shop in Adelaide, and I'm sure I can get this one for under $1000
Pronunciation??? I still can't even pronounce "Cervelo". It's still "Kervello" as fas as I'm concerned. I'll never forget the tosser at SBR who said: "don't you mean 'Sirvello'?"
What about "Ciombola"?? The guy who makes them wanted to deck me when I said "see-em-bowla".
I wasn't worthy of one of his frames.

Yep. It was Cheeok at my place until I was "re-educated".
But it's not a word that comes up often these days.

For some reasons I've been pronouncing it "cock-sick" in my brain everytime I've seen the word.

Dunno about these guys that spend bazillions on wheels.
I recently scanked around for new "old-stock" bits, and came up with......
new Mavic CXP30 rim: $70
new Ultegra rear hub: $60
28 straight gauge DTs: $14
Labour: $10
Whole new rear wheel for $154

I'd love to offload my Ksyriums for some quality hand-bult wheels. Retro-cool and not so friggen rigid for my well padded arse.

Mate, wait 'til you hit 35!!
It's fairdinkum like a fkn switch goes off on your metabolism, and you can only eat about 2/3 of what you used to just to stop BALLOONING UP!!
...or am I generalizing from my own experiences?

I got to 92kg last year, and while I liked feeling big and tough walking past the "Ginos" in the McDonalds car park at 3am, I hated the feeling of pushing all the fat around my face with my electric razor
