I still find it odd that this thread closes for the weekend.

The thread doesn't close, it's just that the beer bottles get opened

Just watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre with the family. I could use a drink or two.

The original & best?

I passed a Black Magna tonite on the way home, number plate BLE 55U.

Now I'm not religious or anything, but it seemed such a nice thing to see. Some weirdo saying "I've got a bunch of niceness in me, take a little bit if you want".

Should be more of it instead of "I am the greatest", "Me, me, ME", or "Underlings must die!"

Or maybe the guy's a real turd and doesn't realize what his default number plate means! ROFLMAO

The latest one, I think.

By the way, did you sneeze?

I'm sure that I have once or twice in the last 39 years!

Why do you ask Running Dog?

Duh!

After a deafeningly silent pause of about 10 hours, Rockmuncher finally gets the joke and guffaws loudly and obnoxiously.

Jeezuz

nice one Expat, you had him well confused there.

See this? Big one for Alby !

Anyone race on the weekend?
The corporate sprint Tri in Sydney was organized chaos,
4500 entrants, ~120 people set off 5 mins apart for 3 hours.
Swim leg was unreal, no actual swimming done, just climbed over the bodies.
Bike leg was anything from penny farthings at 0.1KPH to all CF affairs travelling at speed.
I had a dream last night and woke up in a sweat shouting KEEP LEFFFFFTTT before I was impaled on a set of 6" sharpened cow horns on pink K-mart MTB.
Oh & the run leg topped it off nicely.

Now I've experienced it, think I'll stick with the bike. What was I thinking?

Sounds like fun! I "raced" at Calga and did nothing. 4th or 5th. Two broke away and noone could be bothered chasing them. Stupid me was waiting for a local to show me when to start sprinting for 3rd. Apparently they already were!! Rolled across the line feeling like a complete dork. Coulda, Shoulda, Didn't!

Still all experience in B-grade... right?

I should stop provoking you munchie... How was the pace and who won?

Capt'n Spalding hits the big time ay? Where are you getting these things from? Gettin' a good deal?

That's the good thing about Shimano.....they go beyond 175.

I see Gerrans cracked it for a win in Quimper. Good stuff.

I'm getting a reasonable deal from me mate at Bicycle Recycle.
How much can you get 'em for?

I think Record are also available in 180mm. I'd definitely be on them if I was 6'4"....obviously...maybe longer. Although, with your big hoofers, you'd be "heeling" the rear derailleur, no doubt, or at least the chain stays.

do you just get your info off the web?

I used to watch SBS sport, but it ain't worth it sitting through the whole show to maybe get 20 seconds of cycling.

Web=good.
SBS-shyte.

Casey Stoner in the 250s as well.....not really cycling, but still on 2 wheels.

I can't believe how busy that footy forum is!!
But I s'pose there's a bazillion more footy fans than anything else


I thought I was a footy fan 'til I read some of these threads

some guys have 20 000+ posts!!!

Some bloody funny stuff in there...

"Who would you rather have in your team....Leon Davis or a bag of sugar?"

Gold.

yeah, I seen that one

"that's tops"

go to the individual team boards....esp. teams that got spanked on the weekend.


Freo board is a classic....their fans have turned like a yellow dog!!!! It's a classic!

The pace was slow, like they all had Mandrax for breakfast. Fastest I went was chasing the break up a hill! A guy called Charlie won, if that's any help. https://www.hunterdistrict.com/april_2005.htm

Not sure, I think arround US$280-300 maybe? There's no Campy cranks longer than 175. No FSA.....Truvativ....Shimano.......nuffin'. It's one of the reasons I run Dura-Ace and not Chorus, as much as I'd like to give Campy a go. Chainstays are 425mm, so I got no probs with longer cranks.

aloominum Record comes in 177.5 and 180, but not carbon
