In terms of wins then Coppi has a broader range to his palmares than Anquetil and his career was interrupted by WW2.

Coppi also scandalised post war Italy by leaving his wife for a married woman. Not quite up there with a ménage à trois involving your wife and her daughter but still not a bad effort.

Anquetil wasn't fit to lace Fausto's plimsolls. A one trick pony.

The reserve is £680. That seems high to me.

nice try Fatboy ralph, but the correct answer is ;

BECAUSE THEY ARE BRITISH

the british will put up with just about anything.

True. But we'll complain about the fact that we'll put up with just about anything incessenantly!

I'd buy it. If it doesn't fit you'll recover your costs selling it on via ebay.

If you want to see Rohan put a bike together just pop down to Dauphin Cycles and sit in the workshop. They normally give you a cup of tea too.

Such as what every hipster wants (including arrospok)

But if you do have an hour to kill then a rummage in J E James might turn up some bargains.

The only thing worth seeing in Chesterfield is the thank you for driving carefully sign as you exit the town.

They showed two hours of uninterrupted coverage of Milan-San Remo last Saturday on Eurosport 2. Hopefully they'll do something similar for the rest of the spring classics, especially Flanders and Roubaix.
Failing that, surely any decent French restaurant worth it's sel will have access to French TV coverage?

Is Big Ted riding then?

provenrad
ooohh.. Westie spotting is on the rise it seems?

And another. Yay! ;)

hippy It's on Eurosport as well. I was gonna wait and see if Liggett was doing commentary on BBC. He's not so Eurosport might be better option? Fsck it.. I'll record both.
Surely if Liggett isn't commentating for the BBC it's safe to watch their coverage?

Great thread.

I learnt here. I was 4 and 'borrowed' my big sister's bike whilst she was inside with my parents having lunch. According to my parents I shot around the corner, rode past the window, rode right across the front garden then crashed into the fence because I hadn't learnt how the brakes worked. I've been cycling ever since.

I think people do get a bit precious on this. Bikes should be ridden in my opinion so if converting it means it'll get ridden more then do so.
But then I would say that as I ride a converted steel De Rosa.

Ant [quote]andyp Condor still use someone in Italy although I don't know who exactly.

Deda[/quote]Probably not - Deda manufacture tubing, in aluminium, steel and carbon fibre, but they don't make frames to the best of my knowledge. I know they work with a few small builders, i.e. Casati, to prototype new tubesets so I don't imagine they have an in house fabrication shop.

There are a large number of contractors in Italy who build frames for other people, i.e. Billato or Viner, as well as selling them under their own brand name. Condor still use someone in Italy although I don't know who exactly. I'm sure if you dropped into Edwardes and asked they'd tell you the frame's provenance.

Go and read this page by Sheldon Brown then come back with any questions you have. It's where I started when I built my first fixed and it remains the best reference page I've read.

Wasn't someone (Aussie guy about to or just has moved to London) looking for a lo pro and we'd pointed him in the direction of that. Have a search and see if he'll take it off your hands, assuming you won?

I take it max had been celebrating long and hard before making his posting above? ;)
Glad to hear it's out - everyone loves a story with a happy ending.

Genesis Flyer - steel frame and within your budget?

Jesus. Glad to hear you're recovering but that sounds nasty as fuck! Best of luck with the recovery.

I've nothing but praise for them too, always excellent service and happy to take the time to help too should you need it.

It's a train journey - about 2.5 hours I think with a change in Nottingham.

How about this on ebay?
