Oh, and I think George Hincapie has the best non-Euro result in Paris-Roubaix - second by a bee's dick. But I could be wrong, as the only thing I know about racing is 'I hate Lance'. |

Anzac day sounds good.
We could combine it with the annual hill climb from South Newcastle Beach to Strezlecki Park via King Edward Park. I'll bring the bucket :D |
No bucket needed. My dog loves that stuff...

Negator....4th for big George. Best non European was Steve Bauer in 1990...2nd to Eddy Planckaert by the width of a Vittoria Corsa CG Pave. |

Bauer was my hero. From his SMM-La Suisse days when he took out Claude Criquelion at the 88 worlds.....I've got those Ronse Worlds on video and Bauer only made the front group with a superhuman effort with about 1000m to the finish. Incredible. |
Ah yes, Bauer. I knew it was someone who lost by a whisker.

Morning lads...Scratching my a*se on the tram this morning and had a question jump into my head..."when will Campy/Shimano build an 11 speed for rode bikes?" I know...It IS earth shattering. :rolleyes:
Any views when this will happen and how many gears we will be riding with in 5 years time? |

Actually wattsy's dreamin might not be too cwazy. Imagine if those clever little Japanese fellas were able to rig a type of 'overdrive' INSIDE the cluster (ahh, remember the days when the dragster was king) that allowed you to split ratios.
Same 10 gear cluster externally, but direct drive and a 1:0.96 INTERNAL slip ratio. It's not impossible to imagine. Back soon, I'm just off to the patent office... |
