Hrm.

I guess my memory was a little fuzzy, we only averaged 18.5. Still a good pace for 207mi.

Wait til you're my age kid.

Wiggle just sent me an email asking me if I have Tour de France fever.






I do not.

I do have Mets Malaise, but that is an inherited chronic and incurable disease.

am i a canny shopper or what? i just bought a computer with altimeter, heart rate and cadence for £65 compared to well over £100 for polar. then i read a whole bunch of bad reviews. oh well.

What happened to your legs being your computer?

Luddite.

They rebooted.:roflmao2:

Crashed, more likely.

my legs became unreliable. i thought i was going slowly but it turned out i was flying!

See, boots go on feet, so ummm....., never mind....

i wish i got the cateye double wireless.

what do you think this is? open mic night?

Hey, I made me laugh, that's all that matters.

I'm hungry.

The only feature that really adds over my cheapo cateye is cadence.

i just noticed a thread title about buyers remorse. what excellent timing.

What doesn't the price of cycle computers drop like the cost of personal computers does?

I just looked at what I bought five years ago, and it costs more now than it did back then.

since i started cycling again in 2005, prices of stuff i bought has only gone up. massively in the last 2 years.

I don't know why. I don't see a massive spike in demand for performance-grade road bike gear with 10% unemployment and 1-2% economic growth, if that.

I wonder if new users ever find this thread to be helpful?

Speaking of prices, I was browsing nytro (so. cal. bike shop) at lunch today and they are taking pre-orders for the Cervelo R5ca frameset for $9,799.95, even comes with a crank, although I'm not sure if the BB is included or about s/h charges.

Aside from it looking totally boring yet being a cutting-edge Cervelo, does $9,799.95 seem excessive to anyone else besides me? Are we witnessing a bike-schwag bubble in real-time?

No Cervelo for me.

yes. bubble. when i built up my bike last year, i got a 105 crankset for just under £60. Last time i looked it was going for nearer £120. 100% inflation. nice.

when this bubble bursts, all the poseurs will be left with over-valued unsellable assets.

I asked about tubes when I stopped by the bike shop on Friday.

I think he said they are $7 or $8.

Give me a break. I got a patch kit.
