Wrong on so many levels.....or the peanuts who spend the rest of the day in their bike shorts after a ride. That's just wrong....someone even went outside and did the gardening in their knicks!!

Dear Santa, please bring all my Aussie mates one of these. Except Badsac, as he already has a plastic bike.

Crap colour scheme. And what's the chick doing? Coming?
By the way Elliott's missed out. Typical crap Vicko batsman from yesterday. They've gone with the modern wonder, Katich.

BTW, Rowan. Sure you're not a closet seppo? Talk about being a master of the bleedin obvious.
And just for a bit of explicit bike talk to keep the wallopers happy, saw a dude in town on an 05 Felt F25 today. Don't know where he got that from. And call me crazy, but the orange on those things is the nicest colour I've seen in ages. Maybe I didn't spend enough time in the 70's, but it is one sweet colour.

Done. You and all your Aussie mates can expect one in your stockings Christmas morning. And as for badsac, I will figure out a special treat for him!
Ho, ho, ho!

Bloody heck: it's only gonna be 25 on Saturday! That's not right. Christmas day is supposed to be hot. I won't be able to enjoy the roast lunch without the stifling heat and humidity.
I wonder if they'll mind too much if I set up my wind trainer at the table? It should simulate a proper Aussie Christmas - hot, sweaty, uncomfortable. Might have to tape up the wind veins though, don't want any cooling breeze ruining the sensation.

Following on from yesterday's in depth discussion on inside leg and frame size, Road Bike Rider has just released a new eBook on Bike Fit
https://www.roadbikerider.com/bookstore.htm#Bike_Fit_. Costs about AUD20.00.
Pretty comprehensive, with 80 pages of very detailed discussion on almost everything (not just the traditional seat height and saddle fore-aft crapola), and colour photos and diagrams that make sense.

For the next time you get trapped an "Ultimate weight' thread https://www.cyclingnews.com/tech.php?.../bergin_frames
There's the mandatory hype-factor, but the weight issue is addressed directly (from a Look perspective) throughout.
