sounds like it was cut for a small bike too, that's why it's so cheap.

$1000 light? Ouch. I'll stick with my heavy halogen junk.
... and yeah it was pretty warm across Berowra this morning. Prolly 3 or 4. Last week I had the wierdest experience after climbing out of Mooney Ck. It was like the cold was squeezing me. Never felt anything like it before.

Maybe this is why the aussie team has been a bit off-colour recently

Aussies for TDF. The possibles and probables list:
Baden Cooke (fdjeux.com)
Bradley McGee (fdjeux.com)
Matthew Wilson (fdjeux.com)
Stuart O'Grady (Cofidis)
Matthew White (Cofidis)
Michael Rogers (Quick Step-Davitamon)
Allan Davis (Liberty Seguros)
Scott Sunderland (Alessio-Bianchi)
Robbie McEwen (Lotto-Domo)
Nick Gates (Lotto-Domo)
Cadel Evans (Lotto-Domo)
and maybe Luke Roberts (CSC)
Will Rogers push hard now that he's on the way to T-Mobile? Will Boonen let him?
How many successful 200km breaks will Stuey be in this year?
Will it be a McEwen, Cooke and Pettachi battle for green with Zabel out?
Is this the year that Cadel Evans emerges from the pack?
Will Matty White make it to the first stage?

It's worked out well because the missus wants me to ruin my Saturday afternoon by dropping my daughter off at some birthday party. How inconsiderate. No consultation, just "you're doing this instead of what you normally do". The hide of some ppl.
You riding up?

Will Rogers push hard now that he's on the way to T-Mobile? Will Boonen let him? - Anyones guess.
How many successful 200km breaks will Stuey be in this year? - Keeping with tradition.....none.
Will it be a McEwen, Cooke and Pettachi battle for green with Zabel out? - Me thinks it'll be more mixed this year.
Is this the year that Cadel Evans emerges from the pack? - No, he'll break his other collarbone. Twice.
Will Matty White make it to the first stage? - Yes, he's had a year to practice not falling off.
