Since when has being poor and talentless stopped anyone? *Whistles to himself*

Maybe I'll set myself a goal like these 'other guys' do?

"When I reach my target weight of 220lbs ( down from 265 ), I'm going to buy myself the C50 with Lightweight wheels and full Campy Record I've always wanted."

Actually, I think I saw a couple of those on Monday, 'cept they were riding Kennedy's for some unknown reason.

Whatever happened to the good old Regina chains and clusters that lasted well over 10000km? Damn I miss them.

Sacman, you might need to send some of your triflow to Thylacine when he gets his new chain and cluster. He might get 5000km from the next one with a bit of lube

Hey Ed, you see that "World's Strongest Boy" show/doco the other night?

Regarding the gym guy that used to be the boy's manager: maaaate, how much farkin condition has he lost in only 4 or 5 years???!!??! That's fukn frightening!!

I don't change my chains until they start rattling, and/or they're stretched so
much that they drag along the road.

3000kms from a Dura-Ace chain ain't enough

Cheeses not at $80 a pop.

Oh look, we're on page 100

Nah....but I have been known to tape the world's Strongest Man when it's on Foxtel.


Have a go at this bloke...

3000km from a DA chain....geez mate...try putting some o' dat loobe stuff on it...kleenin em helps too!......I whinge like a pommie immigrant if I don't get 7-8K outta mine!

hitchy

All I can think of when I see stuff like that is blood pressure, bursting blood vessels,
hernias and bursting colons.


Have you seen that email with the picture of the weight-lifter who has exploded his colon?

fkn shockin.

It's an urban legend. Check this out from snopes.com

Yeah, that's it.

By the way.....i meant to write "exploded", not "exploaded"

:sick:

*cough*photoshopped!*cough*

I saw this show Aussi...My wife is a former medico and she reckons this kid is going to have serious problems as he grows, or in his case doesn't grow. Apparently increasing muscle strength to that degree will prevent his bones from growing to their true potential, so is very likely he's gunna be a short @ss. Also, kid's brains develop past their teens and to have so much of his blood flow going to his muscles will be depriving his brain of nutrients needed for intellectual/emotional growth...he's likely to be one f*cked up adult.

Yeah, very strange.

I dunno about the steroid allegations (or 'suggestions'), I reckon he might just be a freak.
Although he was very "cut" and toned, he didn't really have any size.
His most freakish body part is his abs, and even in all his toddler photos he had a "six-pack."

yeah saw it....I'm happy with them so far.......still fiddling with the 'float'...I seem to get more movement at the same settings than my old 357's...I'm not sure that this is a bad thing....just a little disconcerting sometimes.....overall I'm pleased with them, though.......another good article on the 'Look' frames underneath this one

Hitchy

That 585 frame is awesome.

Did you see the bloke on ebay selling a 57cm Litespeed Vortex? I think it's still around $2000 (frame only) mint condition....

where!...i reckon I could just about get a 57 to fit me!...$2000AUD?.....hmmm.....& i really do need another bike...d'ya think I'd be a ****** if i had a vortex as me training bike?......could transfer the Ultera over (to poor to afford new DA10 this year!)...almost be affordable!....so wheres the link?
..........& don't get me started on the 585....the brochure I got at the bike show is getting all 'sticky'...need a new one!

Hitchy

The 57cm looks like it's sold...not showing up.

Here's a 59cm.

.....can't believe they edit waanker when referring to ones self!

the thought police are working overtime.

I think the best feature of the Keos is the little doover in the middle of the cleat that allows you to change cleats without having to attempt to put them back in the same position using a texta.
As for the Look frames, they do nothing for me really, but you know how I feel about carbon . Geometry is totally wrong for me too, which doesn't help. Keos look great though, probably my first choice when I step up. Any problems with squeeking of the cheat/pedal interface?

When I was going to get some chow last night in Flemington, there was a guy on a Look with Ksyriums at the lights who looked at me funny. Was that you Hitcho?

T'weren't moi......the Keo 'positioning' thingo only works if you have the shoes to accomodate it. I think most 'post' 04 shoes will, but it doesn't work with my Sidi Genuis 4's (03)...so back to the texta!.....there is no squeek in the interface anymore. This is cos the bits that 'touch' are now 'carbon & plastic' against the old 'Alu & plastic'....a major improvement!....as i said, i'm happy with mine so far.....you need to think about your seat height though if you are a traditional 'look' rider, cos they have a lower 'stack height'. the only other draw back is if you wanna ride multiple bikes.....cos keo cleats aren't compatible with existing 'Look' pedals....

Hitchy

I was considering some new Sidis too ( Love the fit of my Dominator Mega MTB shoes - the same as your shoes except they have a lugged sole ) but they're horribly overpriced. I can get them for 200 which is cool, but at retail ( 350 ), you think Sidi would put a carbon sole on them by now. Heck, the 2nd top-of-the-line Nikes RETAIL for 200 and have a carbon sole. Pretty neat looking shoe I might add, despite Nike being the Anti-Christ.
