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 think it's called "blaze blue". Remember the 80s Ford Lasers used to come in the same colour.

did you finally get the map I sent? I think the dudes from the Glenrock Alliance go out mapping once in a while also, might be easier to hook up with them when they do some marking out, as they seem to know the place backwards already.

mmmm, no Giro today, boring. Kylie's taken over the media today instead.

Bloody oath. Yeah, I remember it on those lasers. Looked crap on them, but it didn't help that they were a crappy looking car. Looks much better on that slick bike of yours.

Thank heavens for small mercies, I say. At least she's distracted the media from the latest dribble from the 'Walking Headline'.

Your right it's not a good colour/to dark for a blue ,some bright stickers would improve the profile.

Geez, I offered him SD-3's. Hopefully you'll make him a good deal, and then we just need to get him hooked up with some levers. I have the Rim Wranglers if he needs pads.

I see a 2 and a 3. Since 3's a bigger number, they'd be better right?

Honestly, I don't know what the difference is. Avid has a huge line of confusing brakesets. Arch Rival is pretty much at the top. They've got one other really good one, which I think has been discontinued.

3 costs more than 2 and 1.0 is at the bottom, what the exact differences are I couldn't tell you, their website might have more info on each one but they'll only have current stuff, mine are a few years old.

P.S> Go Robbie !!!!
