.....that colnago went for $1600 + $30 bucks postage...all of a sudden it's not a bargain anymore!.....I can be tempted by a red hot price, but generally I'd rather go 'touch & feel' before parting with my hard earned......

Life is sooo good at the moment.

My payroll company's servers died on Tuesday meaning no payroll run. A minor side issue is the fact that I (amongst others) won't get paid until tomorrow morning. :mad:

Looks like those comments about how everything has got boring up in Road Cycling must have reached the right ears.

rockmuncher 12-22-04 08:31 PM

Back to reality. :)
Merry Christmas.

It's all about perspective young Sir Rowan. It is apparent that the honestly glib content in the Aussie Thread doesn't always appeal to the masses, same as endless diatribe about "my frame is better than your frame" is pointless to ppl who know where the heart of the bike is.

Lance's wallet?? Must be the size of a Volkswagen.

Brian 12-22-04 08:46 PM

Yeah, but there's no picture of Sheryl Crow, so I'm not sure that it's Lance's wallet.

What? To keep your hypodermic syringes in? And boxes of stuff -- form that lab in LA, no doubt. :eek: :D

Noooo! That would be Aussie cycling team stuff. Grips, stems, locks, derailleurs, and some bells. Oh and the wallet and some Pirate Racing umbrellas. I won 76 items on ebay over the last few days...

ed073 12-22-04 09:09 PM

any of your blokes use carbon bars/stem/integrated bars? I reckon they look the shizzle and could be worth a gander....

Bells. You put bells on your bikes.... :lol:

BTw, good to be home for a while. I think they're trying to confuse us silly Aussies hiding this thing all over the joint. :)

In NSW, by law you need to have a bell on your bike. When I worked at the IPB, I saw the actual tickets issued @ about $50 a pop.

That is a deadset joke.....it's probably the same law here too.

Some kid got caught for no helmet. Cop wrote him up for the helmet, no bell, and no front light, no rear light, as it was at night. He told the kid to walk home. The kid got smart and rode anyway, so the cop sent him 4 more in the mail. What gear could you buy with that $400?
