  • I spend too much time on this forum, when he went to Continental I immediately thought of Hippy choking on his Fosters, and when he went to that house with the old Schwinns, I reckoned Scoble was putting that lot into his wankbank. Good prog, though would like to have seen campag's production, and no explanation of why even though Cinelli's CEO is an art buff, why are the colour schemes of the Mash and Vigorelli so appalling.

  • podium girls!

    I'm pretty sure it was on the hubs too. Odd

    So he discarded the hubs from the Record groupset did he?

  • iPlayer link?

    They aren't part of the gruppos anymore I don't think, and very rare in silver, though if anywhere has 'em.........

  • Nice frame but the orange was wank (blue and bare metal ftw). The wc stripes were wank. The tyres were fucked. The pedal choice is fail. The groupset was from some 3rd-world manufacturer. The wheels were nice enough. The bars and stem were ok. Headset straight from the factory. The saddle was fuckin' shit. He likes it. I liked the program.

    If Italy is Third World I can understand why you left the Ryman League (South) behind you...

    EDIT: Racist

  • I'm sure that's funny but I have no idea what you're talking about.

    Won't be the first (or last) time...

  • Watch Tom Simpson instead, Parc des Princes was a fuckin steep track by the looks of it.

  • as everyone here is watching bbc4 (i can't get it live, iplayer tomorrow for me) you probbaly missed a great line on shooting stars. "true or false?: olympic cycling champion chris hoy has shit handlebars" hehehe.

  • Dead spit of Wiggins...

    Looks a lot like him.

    And that smile is Cav's I 'recon.

    Such a nice image of him winning the worlds

  • was it true or false?

    true!

    (i think it was just jealousy though because vic's "mounting bike" caught fire.)

  • I need to read his book (Tom Simpson), the more I watch it the more I'm taken aback by him.

  • If you mean Fotheringham's book Ed, I recommend that you do.

  • That was worth this year's licence fee on its own.

  • What a show that was.

    brooks
    campag
    cinelli

    I'd like to have seen him spend longer in rourkes tbh.

    Worth 4k?

  • maybe. he had quite a gash selection before though...

    • conti + chris king + wheel builder(?)

    overrated. Plus too much driving, not enough detail...

  • Colour was shit. Bars were shit.

    Pedals were also shit.

    Cracked me up the way he made a massive point of saying "LET'S GO AND PAY FOR IT"

  • Looks like it's a fight between Sastre, L.L. Sanchez and Vinokourov for the San Sebastian classic. Allez Carlos.
