Was hoping too...but the missus has stuck me with the kids again!....definately going to geelong on Friday nite though....Browny would probably win except he'll doubtless incur the wrath of officialdom by riding someone into the barriers & be relegated to last....again. The boy can ride....to bad he has the mental capacity of toast.....

Yes. R McEwen and S McGrory wouldn't have sent him Xmas cards.

Who was having a whinge about gloves a little while ago? There's some nice Fox ones on ebay AU right now. The same seller also has some Dura-Ace cleats... ;)

Too bad its to big for me...still, it would be worth buying it, flogging the frame & stem & keeping the rest.....but then i'd have crappyignolo to deal with! (flame war starts here!)...how easy is it to cahnge the hub flange thingy on the wheels to shimano?

Those new Davitamon-Lotto Ridley Damocles bikes are gunna be lustful.

Did you see Luke Roberts' carbon Cervelo on Cycling Central?? He paid for those Lightweights himself....not everyday you see a pro buying their own kit.

Nothing wrong with a little self promotion...

Anyone ever venture into http://www.highendcycles.com.au/ ? Looks like a dumping ground for clothing manufacturers's unwanted sizes/styles and bikes retired after a single season (or in some cases event!)

Yeah, some of the prices are outrageously cheap. $10 for a shirt instead of >$100. Shame that most of the sizes available ATM are only S or M.

I only discovered it by chance. I was looking for Pinarello and google popped the site up on one of those context based ads. What I was supposed to be looking for was Topolino. :)

I just saw the photo of Mikkelee on the homepage and closed it immediately.

Yeah, fat-asses like us are being discriminated against. We have to pay more because we like beer and donuts? Where's Homer with his Pie Man! mask when you need him?

Our time will come...

Matt Wilson must be riding around starkers, coz his full wardrobe is on there.

2nd hand knicks?? A big no-no in my book.

Yeah, I seen it....that is to say, I "saw" it.

I reckon, we he smiles, Cadel Evans looks a bit like Moe Szyslak
