Maybe someone should start a new thread "In defense of plastic bikes". Hitchy? Sydney seems to look for an argument in his threads. Oh well.

yeah true but they put on a couple of great tries. The first QLD try was pure luck. IMO that should be a knock-on, unless you actually kick it with your foot, it's a dropped ball. Anyway, good close footy is always great to watch.
Now all we need is a Waratahs victory !!

what's Neuron steel tubing all about? I just got a nice training frame made of it. Trying to age the frame. It used to be Brett Lancaster's bike, has an AIS decal on it, number braze-on etc.
Also has internal routing on the top tube, something I've never had before.
