I think some of your countrymen tend to 'go quiet' when we get on board, cos they have no idea what the fark we are on about......It'll just be our little secret ,that we don't either!

The numbers (69.93.206.106) wont work for cyclingforums. We tried this once before. They have a re-direct to the DNS name (don't worry about the tech speak, you don't need to know
)Cheers,

Naw, it was because when out riding, the beyatch never waves 'hello'. 
In honour of the often stupid comments made on the Internet in regards to cycling, I have decided to introduce the "GCPG" - or 'Genius Comments from the Peanut Gallery'. It's a tribute to the golden moments of jingoistic, inaneness, stating of the obvious, and downright stupid comments that at oftimes flood the forums. Fellas, feel free to add your own next time you come accross a pearler.
GCPG No.0001 - "Talking in a different unit of measurement does not make a rider faster. Training, experience, knowledge, effort, persistence make a rider faster."
Now, how did we exist before without that golden little nugget of knowledge?
He even forgot to mention "Good genes", too

.....and the relevance of being a dentist to wanting a steel,comfort bike is**********?
I actually replied something like, ....'ahhh now if you were a brain surgeon, we could help'! ....as usual, completely over their heads!...lol

I have been really stuck on getting a steel bike for the comfort. I am a dentist and am riding on long rides and comfort is my main priority.

I know this is talking about bikes, so I appologise in advance. But what are BMC's like? On the weekend at Glenbrook, walked past the little bike shop there, and they had a BMC in the window. It was red and white. I think it was an SL02. Geez it looed sweet. Not sure how much it would be worth, but dang, I'm thinking of trading the Specialized already. 
Is their lower end stuff okay?

Won't BMC's beach road cred have been ruined by the fact that phonak have been kicked off the Pro Tour?
