Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I was gunna warn you about that, but I thought it might've only been a problem if you click on it.

I suspect you're the glue that holds this thread together -- it'll die without you posting from work

Har-de-har-har....I'm off to Port douglas in a month, so it could be coming out sooner rather than later to help me avoid any comparisons to the Collingwood footy team at pre-season.

That's amusing, the mods renamed the thread so he edited the first thread to remove the link and then added a new thread with the old title! Classic.

Either that or get one of the mods to have a word with the offender...there's even an antipodean mod.

It's his firewall at work....one offence and you're locked out like Greg Miller trying to trade Ty Zantuck to Essendon.

(sorry....Melbourne humour...)

I asked Chris L to change the spelling of that thread in the off chance that it might change the fire-wall situtation with Hitchy, but no luck. Then that Grampy "pecker" cracked the sh1ts last night about censorship, or whatever,then, as you've said does it again! He's probably just fire-wlled another few hundred people off the site......PR1CK

So, I emailed Hitch, but as I suspected....no luck.

These were his last words before he "died" :


Thanks for the effort!...unfortunately once this 'web marshall' picks up an 'address', it won't let go without being instructed to by the IT dept.........& as I'm s'posed to be working!...........I'll continue to contribute after hours...damn, I was enjoying myself too!...thanks again for your efforts,

cheers,

That poll on Cycling Forums really surprises me. Just kidding.......no I'm not......I just don't know anymore.




(look what it's reduced to, now that Hiticy's not here)

Shimano is more user friendly, that's fo shizzo. (Maybe less so with the new 10v, though...)
Home maintenance and spare parts have always been cheaper. Plus the $$$ for Campag isn't really justifiable in terms of a performance benefit. If I was paying my own way through a Euro campaign, Shimano all the way.

I'll have to check out the poll....some of those seppos get so fired up it's hilarious.


(yep.....sad days indeed. We'll have to make up for the loss of quality with much more quantity.)

Hitchy reckons that address should work, but that "pecker", grampy, has put "pawn" back on a new thread, so Hitchy might get shut out of the new address. So...someone's gotta dob that pecker into the moderators to get hte spelling changed; I've gotta go have a fukn root canal.
