Another big advantage of disc brakes on a high end road bike is that is remove weight from the outside of the rim which has numerous advantages - the disc brake on a road bike argument is about more than better braking, and i think we will see mass adoption when manafacturers are able to realise all the advantages into a coherent backage

On the Skoda note I am a massive fan of the Superb Estate - I have a real fetish for practical cars that eschew glamor for majoring on being a purely built for purpose mode of getting from A to B and the superb has that nailed.
TVR is something every petrol head should have in their garage at least once in their lifetime - mate has a Sagaris and it is hard to beat for a car that makes you feel like a little kid with the keys to the candy store

I was just down in the Corbiers area, about 10k inland from Narbonne - stayed n a nice villa, but not that cheap (1.5k per week) though cheap for what it was compared to other areas of France.
Portel Des Corbiers is nice
There where Gites everywhere, we went through owners direct, which I have always found to be pretty good.

On the one hand I am glad Lance is finally being shown up as the cunt he is - on the other hand I feel a strange sadness at the mess that is less behind exemplified by the fact there is no one who can really lay claim to his now vacated victories because they are all tarred by the same brush - his dominance of the TDF was on of my favourite periods of racing because go the battles that where fought, and how much I enjoyed the races in those years.
A line needs to be drawn now, but god knows where or when - he was the best of a bad bunch.

Can't we do it how we did the original T-Shirts? Made a great thread if nothing else.
I personally think you should get/commission a design that can be on sale permanently through the forum, for a simple T-Shirt in the usual sizes ant a reasonable price.
Then hold an in Forum competition to come up with some designs for what you have proposed for the higher end product.

Velocio for Mayor!!
Boris was the lesser of 2 cunts, as is often the case with elections voting is more a case of who you don't want than who you do.
IMO London is a city where the Mayoral election is usually a vote for the person over the party - I don't think people vote as strictly along party lines as the would in a general election.

I like the T1 - wasn't much love for them when they were sold, but great frame.
