Now that's something you don't normally see from an aussie :D The English cycling tour of south africa is looking good so far but it looks like the tour of sri lanka has been cancelled :(

Best advice I can give is to subscribe to the long distance forum at bicyclng.com

DrCodfish there will answer that question for you. There are several long-distance books that he is keen on.

How very curious...

Well, the cyclocross idea is on hold while I continue my swearing streak. Any suggestions for a stripped crank where the pedal threads in? It's on the tandem, the front cranks, timing (Left) side. Didn't know my own strength. Farking ***** a$$ FSA crapola pot metal buttery soft melted down Hyundai and VB beer cans aluminium! As I was saying, I'd like to know if there's an option other than ordering a new crank arm. And Saccy, if I can help you out with some tires from OS, let me know. I can have something picked up from Supergo and shipped within a week or so. Or if you have a particular brand in mind, let me know. No markup, just sharing the cost of my mounting postage bills.

Thanks all, I'm going back to swearing now.

From the Sanscrit for the incarnation of Godhead, an avatar is the 'body' you 'wear' in a virtual community - an animated, articulated representation of a human which represents you, the user, in any virtual environment. Some of the more sophisticated chat rooms provide the facility to 'chat' over the 'net via the visual representation of interacting human forms.

In Aussie English, it's the piccy under yer name. Muchie's x-ray, my tandem, etc.

Thank <insert deity of your choice here> for that! :D

Hey Expat, do you still have any of those 42mm tube type things? Apparently they will work with my rims, they are the min length stems. I though it was 48mm, but I guess I'm just a dumb schmuck who knows nothing. :)

No, no, no; actually, I was enjoying the "awards" -- I just think it's funny that so many people got all shirty over it, and that it ended like it did.

Yeah, 4 or 6 of 'em left. Got an FSA crank arm for me?

(I appoligise in advance for all the inverted commas, but I just have to do it:p)

Maybe. Go to "edit options" in your "user control panel", and scroll
down to "thread display options", then tick the "show avatars" box.

I might as well. I've gotta do 120 anyway, so another hour or so won't hurt.
