187cm. I raced for ages on 170 as a juvenile/junior, then went to the levers when I was about 19 or 20.
170s are a great place to start, but coz I'm not the most efficient spinner in the world, I feel more comfy slamming a big lever.

Haven't had time to look. Are there evil pop-ups and trojan horses associated with it?

On a different note, my wife's given me the ok tp build another tandem. I was hoping we could buy that Litespeed, but ain't happening. Maybe the big cat guy can get me another custom frameset.

Just ran the AVG and deleted a pesky virus. So is there a filter on the admin side that detects words like the P word, ***** and fark?

1) The moderators were made aware of some insensitive threads dealing with the death of a musician. While some may not think their comments are not funny, there are others that do. So when a moderator comes into the thread and asks people to quit it, please do not disrespect them for enforcing the forum guidelines.
2) Making fun of the dead, regardless of what your intent, is NOT funny. Stop it.
3) While on the subject of forum guidelines, any posts that link to pornography or even links to other forums that post links to pornography is still a violation of forum guidelines. Stop.
If we do continue to see these types of posts here, we'll close the thread, seeing as though when we do attempt to moderate, our actions are met with some hostility and derision. Please keep it clean, and do be mindful of the forum guidelines when posting, regardless of what thread you're posting in.

It was not a death, it was a murder. My mum died. This "musician" was murdered. My commentary was centered around the fact that the reason for this senseless shooting was that the deceased "broke up the band". There is a certain irony to this. I don't see in the thread where there was any intended disrespect, only sarcasm. I can only assume you felt compelled to write this because someone misinterpreted a certain comment and attempted to chastise the writer. This is supposed to be a lighthearted and fun forum, and perhaps these people need to not take things so seriuosly, and go out and ride more.

Lol. It's like mum came into the cubby house and scolded you naughty boys. You've all run off home to hide. 
[Edit] Hey Kmart, you an Aussie or just a blow in? If the former, might as well ask the obligatory "wat cho ride" question.

Indeed. What's up with that? And they're making us out to be bad guys on another thread.
