Hey Ed, you see "Sterny" gettin' ganged up on in the "on-bike strength training" thread?
https://www.cyclingforums.com/showthr...7&page=2&pp=15

So guys what's with this dude

It's funny, isn't it? We all go through all this BS about which bike will be best for us, then, 80% of the time we end up going for the bike that is so rediculously discounted, it would be crazy not to get it

I nearly bought a 2003 LeMond Zurich frame just for this reason ($900!!!). I gave it the "one last measure" treatment, with the cash bulging in my pocket, and the head-tube was about 7mm too small.

....I don't feel 'free' to post koffee's replies without her permission.....surfice to say that her reaction to my post may have been a little of the 'lost in translation' issue that we get between us & the seppo's occaisionally......we're sweet now...koffee's a little uptight about some of the sexist threads that have been getting put up lately.....I was just the last poster to a thread that had already 'got up her nose'

We've got the bike show on down here this weekend.....I'll keep an eye out for things of interest for you to do your homework on....whats your price range again?

.....what dude?...oh you mean Sean?...we all look like that down here!......oh you mean the growth?....it's religous.....it signifies his alleged belief in the god, HGH......

"He is a former kindergarten teacher who spent the early part of his racing career living in a caravan in his parents' back yard, and who once rode laps with exploding fireworks taped to his bike to entertain children at a rained-out country carnival.

Ah seppos are a funny bunch, especially the ones of the fairer persuasion. My sisters got a seppo girlfirend, and goes over there quite a bit. It seems that lady seppos either think aussie blokes are the definition of "man" and good enough to eat, or sexist, lowlife scum. Nothing in between. Perhaps we have some of the latter here.

Thanks heaps for that. My range is from about $2.5k, to $3.5k. So nothing that's going to impress to many.

...ok so is it me?.....I seem to be having one of those days!...first I get up the mod's nose......then into an argument with some blokes who thinks TCR's are actually good representations of what a carbon bike should be!

Why don't you give them the "McDonalds of the bike industry" cliche?

You'll never win because there's about 512,000,000 TCR owners out there.
Jeez, a third of them are in Melbourne.

New friends are cool.

hey i like that...I'm gunna use that one & pretend it's mine ......the sad part for all these hyundai owners is that they are actually good value for money....but you only get what you pay for!...its only when you ride a 'carbon' by one of the 'reputable' carbon manufacturers, 'Look', Colnago, Bianci etc etc.....that you realize how it 'should' be done. The 1st carbon bike I rode was a TCR....& it nearly put me off carbon for life...I nearly steered clear of riding any of them, until a mate suggested (with a smirk, as I recall), that i give the material another chance.......

Ric is cool. There is some brain-dead moron on cycling forums (can't remember his name) who Ric just owns....every dopey post, BANG!, gorne!!!

Hey Ed, you seem like a smart bloke who seems to have some interest in exercise physiology.

I've had this weird muscle imbalance (I think) problem for a couple of years where both my mediali seem too weak for the rest of my legs, and they become over-worked and strained. I can get through a hard ride if I'm fresh, but often they will be sore for a few days, as if I've done really hard weights on 'em.
Drivin' me "knuts"

Hmmm..definitely one for a PROFESSIONAL sports therapist, mate. I wouldn't know where to start.....could be caused by any number of things. Do you use a full float pedal like Time or Speedplay?

I'm condifent it's not position because I'd had the same pozzy for about 18 years. It happened after I increased my miles and intensity, whilst gaining 10 kilos, some of which was a bit of lateralis hypertrophy. I've also been very slack on abs for the last four or five years, so I reckon it's pelvic tilt, femur rotation, too high Q-factor, and all that kind of crap

Might be time for www.aussiebikeforum.com.au

Don't disappear, yanks ego's online are inversely proportional to their sense of humour and it'd be boring without you all

I can assure you, we're too lazy to get something like this off the ground

damn straight.

...I woulda replied to this....but i'm to lazy!

...ya gotta love 'em

Hey hitch....you'd be a monty for a front table seat for the "Anna Milward Cycling Trivia Night"???

Could you imagine the crowd at that gig?? Sheesh....

Hell ya....You need the controversy. If there wasn't controversy and we agreed on every topic this forum would be so boring.

People need to have this face sometimes-----> or else we wouldn't have anything to talk about it.

That why I think you all should swap out your gear ratios and push 60-9's around at 30 rpm

Which ever Aussie was 55-9 all day....You were making me fall out of my chair sometimes.

Lads...have you seen they've added rep points to cyclingforums.com?? They did this at bb.com and everyone became post and rep *****s inside a week....obsessed with getting the most rep.

Check it out....

Where are the rep points? I think it's a little dumb.
