I reckon even I could hit 50kmh on that thing.

yeah ed, it looks about that fast ! swirly red stickers on the wheels always helps.

+ white boots and a kickarse suntan.

all true, muncher, but the white shoes / bike combo might be a bit much.

i'm happier with this....

I dunno if you were winding me up by saying white shoes were cool, but I farkin love 'em!

don't get me started

I think I started a thread ages ago about wankey web sites with all that flash crap -- farkin shits me

The Wilier one's annoying too

Like I said about 8 pages back...I love white shoes. The white Stu O'grady Carnacs are still gathering dust in my garage, size 45.


Anyone? Anyone???

broken link. Ed sad.

white shoe owner here too, road and MTB shoes white

Me too... or at least I will be when I finally pay the beasty off... although I might get murdered when I take it home...

it's punishing enough cleaning the mtb after almost every ride, but shoes as well....or are they to scare off the snakes

Feeling a bit technophobic this morning Ed? You can always copy the URL text of a broken link and paste it into the Address box of your browser.

I see Cofidis has nabbed another Aussie to do some slave work for them. Chris Sutton joins Stu and Matt for this year's season. If you want to know what his form is like you can check him out at the WTC in LA next week.

Son of a Gun.

He'll do well.

Is he related, d'ya think?

An acorn never falls far from the tree......or some sh1t like that.

that's what a hose is for, bike, then shoes, then the knicks...all clean again

hey climbo,

your topica list has gone berserk today. Imagine what it'd be like if you had more than 15 members!!

well, yeah, because of you it's fired up ! This is what it's supposed to do

Turns out this work thing isn't that bad. You guys are boring without me though.

hmmm....I thought it was the other way around!...

Hitchy

Is that it? OK then.

What's the go with Ebay and pushies? Always read about you basids pushing up the price of crap and scaming. JUst bought some golf crapola off ebay and ended up very pleased with the whole deal. I take it in my quest for a mountainbike, if I look for something off ebay, Expats breatheren will rip me off? Sell me something with a snapped frame and square wheels for $8k? Guess it's a bit hard to check the state of something you're buying until you've done your dough?

No, we only sell square wheels to the Kiwis. I think 531 has a cracked frame for you. And there's no scamming, only the occasional "Prompting bid" where there's 20 watchers, and they're all waiting for someone else to make the first move. Feel free to email me for my opinion on anything on ebay. I'm just under 800 feedback with my secret buying account, and over 120 with the new selling account, so with nearly 1,000 transactions, I consider myself a bit experienced. That and all those years investigating fraud.

Did I mention I got my BMX through ebay? But I had a friend pick it up in Penrith and pay cash. Secure payment and the right of inspection.

On the subject of ebay, I talked to my dad today, and my brother kindly donated a bunch of gear to my cause. It's funny to hear my dad try to describe the parts:
Him: "Some kind of arms, with gears?"
Me: "Dad, does it say 'Ultegra'".
Him: "Yeah, and there's some kind of hub thing too".
Me: "Um, dad, does it have threads and splines?"
Ultegra crankset with BB maybe? It goes on and on. A hubset, some shifters, bars, stems, seats/seatposts. Most of it is coming surface mail, so it may be several weeks, but worth the wait.
