Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.

Why would anyone make a smutty comment about Makel's creme-filled doughnut fantasy?

The moderators may want to implement the seven-second delay.

paint removal? you are undertaking a major project if it is not just refitting a frame but doing stuff to the frame too.

Total Bike Rehab. The timing actually works out since the weather's been pretty much cold and rainy all month. It's expected to keep up like this at least the rest of the week.

i had just been to the gym in the evening and then that velovol was on skype. that guy sure does go on! you'd think that guy was running for office.

actually i'm waiting for my lunch to settle. i don't want to do projectile chundering whilst exerting myself in the gym.

It will be blue. It is an old lugged frame, so I might outline the lugs in red to match the headbadge.
