Look out, now we're all gunna hafta wear yellow avitars!

I've said it before, I'll no doubt say it again.....

Aussies are the best bike racers in the world.

no arguments from me on that one :)

So Tiger, what's this all about. I can't be shagged reading 50 pages of literary crap to get to the good stuff.

Give me design, pricing and sizes...

The pretty pics are here: http://www.bikeforums.net/showpost.p...postcount=2471
but the colours are waaay better than what you see in those images. Much sharper. And the cut is perfect for Aussies, not lanky european beanpoles, which is a small bonus.

You should be... look at the size of country you have to ride around..!

David Millars morning run to the shops for a latte took in 14 laps of Scotland!

:D

So it has an elastic gut chamois?

Lookie what I did on the weekend.

And...errr......no, no elastic gut chamois, but it does have three 'stubby holders' in the back. ;)

Jeez those pics are big!!

looks like a nice picnic :D , where's the riding pics?

The FS looks like it only has 1/4 wrap on the front dereilleur. Every had any probs with chain slip/wear? Or thought of adding another jockey wheel to get more wrap?

Well, as we only had one camera and I was the guy trying to keep up with the younger whipper-snapper, pix were only snapped during breaks.

Yeah, the problem with the FS proto is that it only has two front rings. Although in theory the wrap should be enough to make the Granny gear work, I've never found one with the right tooth profile. Thought about adding a chain device, but three years on, I'm putting effort into the new FS proto instead. When I do have a spare grand though, I'm sticking a Rohloff in the back.

would any of you guys spend 405 bucks on this old piece of shit?

the chain's too short, anyway

Never heard of "Koln" bikes

http://sportsgoods.listings.ebay.com...istingItemList

isn't Koln Jason Phillip's new venture?

you got me again.

I know as much about him as I do about Shane Webke:p

Former Jayco, Team Coast etc etc professional. Raced a lot in Germany with McGrory.

Gold Coast native, I think......uber-talented.

now he sells bikes for $1, what a top bloke ! :D

I think he was also given the gig of getting top dollar for Robbie's kit at the end of each season on eBay...

oh


(good comeback, Potsie)

isn't Koln a city in Germany? Don't ya love it when companies try to be Euro. :rolleyes:

Yep....Koln/Cologne. Same same.

Like I've said before: I couldn't believe it when I first went to Paconi all those years ago and found out that it was run by an Aussie named "Kevin"

You should've gone for T H Y L A C I N I


hmmmm.......I like it

Who can still rip the legs off plenty on the Hell Ride.....

Thank you, but I much prefer 'Thylacinus the Almighty'

yeah....for an old bloke. Does the turnaround at the top of Olivers, or takes the short cut through to Mt Eliza.

Plenty of fat dudes don't get that far.
