Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I don't know, "I had heard" that there are web sites that specifically sell women's 2nd hand underwear...Like I said, I'd just heard the rumour.

Like, yesterday, I was um like in the Outback, and I saw this freaking crocodile okay, with like a can of Fosters stuck up it's -

There ya go.

Oh, and no, Queensland is like Florida, except in reverse, EXCEPT they think anyone from 'down south' is a Mexican, which implies that they think they're Californian, when really, that's the domain of the Sydneysiders.

Confused yet? I am. Especially with all this talk of faux g-strings. But then again, if your boobies are fake, and your tan is fake, fake underwear must be the next logical frontier.

Hey, I tried to steer the conversation back to riding, but look where that got us

Wow... I don't understand a thing you say. Let me throw a bunch of words at you too! Queensland is like florida except in reverse? Umm Dogs are like Cats except in reverse.

Except they think anyone down south is a mexican, which implies they think they're califorian, whiich really means that's the domain of Sydnesiders? Except they think everyone is a chew toy, which implies they think they're are bears, which is really means that's the domain of animals with cainines.

Umm.... Now let's steer this back towards bikes... I think I rather ride with you then talk to you. Ouch!maybe that is too harsh.

Well, at least I"ve extended the useless nature of this thread.

By "reverse" I guess he just means north instead of south. Queensland IS Florida, Sydney is California, Melbourne is Boston/New York (all the smart people ) Adelaide and Tasmania are both like the "deep south" , and everyone in NT is like the Croc Hunter

Dean's my nephew and while he has been concentrating on MTB/BMX he is getting into road bikes, GT and Scott. I got my GTR1 from him earlier this year. Great bike.
He's a real nice bloke too and although he's currently on a bit of a steep learning curve, he does have some road nouse and you can be sure he won't dud you, not no way.
He does a pretty good deal too particularly as he's trying to establish his name in road biking. Rides a GT Ultra when he's not MTBik'n.

I'd buy them just because they've got 'sliding nipples'.

Seriously though, this design is novel, but it would be heavier and obviously requires more parts than a 'regular' rim.

It's a tough sell especially when my tubeless wheels are Stans 350g ZTR rims, sealed by 10g of 3M tape and accomplishes the same job.

In 2001 I did a prototype MTB disc wheel that weighed under 600g with a similar rim design to what Gipiemme now uses - double cavity, with paired spokes and the rim CNC machined down to a single cavity design where there wasn't any spokes.

That's another solution someone seriously has to take a look at.

*edit*

Actually, Looks like Gipiemme already has, although they're heavy as.

Last time I was in Japan, I thoroughly enjoyed my hot coffee in a can from the vending machine. It was in the slot right next to the g-strings in a can.







Just kidding.
