Definitely interested - would you accept a bullseye? J

Could be interested in this - need a commute project.
I'm traveling until Friday but will be in touch if it hasn't gone by then.
Cheers

Love that.

Me too... didn't like it so much when it was creeping away from me on the Puerto de Cotos!

Just got back from the Vuelta and did some riding - rode with a guy from Passoni who was on this beaut:

Apologies for non-drive side pic, I didn't want to touch it!

Pedals now SOLD to gav.

Having sat under the stairs for a few months I finally have to admit I won't be getting another bike to use them...

and my Sidi Dominators (sz EUR 39) - £40

Neither have even been on a bike for 6months plus but both in good condition.

Just keeps getting worse for Saxo.

I spent some time with Nick at the Saxo training camp in Spain last month - a truly nice guy, I'm gutted for him.

That's odd, my PS hoody has stood up to a lot of use. Are your back pack straps particularly abrasive?

Winter gloves are a difficult option - too thick and you lose tactile feedback, too thin and the cold sets in. I was using the gloves yesterday in when it was 8 degrees and they were fine. There is a whole thread devoted to the problems of winter gloves and no clear winner has come out, horses for courses. But I did try the assos 851 gloves, first pair lasted 3 weeks, second pair one ride before they split, they were no warmer than the rapha ones and had less padding.

I've got the winter gloves and really like them. Not sure they're 50 quid better than the Gore ones I had previously but they are warmer. Certainly decent gloves for the bad weather.

Vino to ride TdF next year.

Danny Pate to Sky on a 2yr deal

Time to change the thread title

Did you read the article I was on about where they say there may be undetectable EPO and Testosterone coming out of China?

Was that the one in ProCycling? Very interesting, especially the slow release meds that keep below threshold etc. Sounds like they are falling behind the curve again sadly.

what colour are the grips?

Mint on here: http://www.benscycle.net/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=3246

Nitto, silver BA125AA drops - 38 wide: £30 (full disclosure - they've been gripped and have some residue on as I haven't cleaned them after removing the tape)

Nitto, silver B201AA risers - chopped down to 39 wide: £15

Champ grips, type A (2mm) - Bianchi-style celeste: £5

I'm in SE15 evenings and weekends, and EC2 during office hours.

Cheers

Decent. Got down early and was in before 10. Difficult to find mens small but got a couple of Country Jersys, a LS baselayer, some 3/4 bibs, black grand tour mitts and the PS cap I wanted for a tenner (plus a boatload of socks). There was a stack of the shoddy PS jerseys etc but also plenty of bargains for actual cycling. Saw a lucky chap cop a grey rain jacket but no other jackets today that I could see. If you're massive then you'll be sorted for gillets.

Also saw the friendly girl with the silver Bob with pink tape (don't know your name sorry)

Bloody hell, those corners are tight! Be careful Andy :)

He'd find it much easier if he faced forward

A question I've been pondering tonight - is Samuel Sanchez's fabled descending skill borne out by fact? I can only remember him winning one race that involved this, yet the way the experts on TV go on about it, you'd think he wins 10 races a year due to it.

This.
Lazily researched, oft repeated commentator notes

Hoogerland on the bike today. Proper. Sean Kelly's analysis was brilliant "If you fall into a barbed wire fence, it can upset your form a bit". Salient point Sean.

Is the book a good read?

Just got it but good so far. I like him though, which helps I guess.

The more people get on Bertie's back, the more I like him.
Boss ride from Cadel though.

the boardman/halfords break bumpers will cause me to break a tv at some point over the course of the tour. I know Boardman's the brand, but fuck me, he can't emote whilst delivering his lines.

Agreed, absolutely cold - makes Nigel Mansel sound like Stuart Hall

Euorosport is way better. although the Sidi ad is bad, there are hardly any ad breaks. Commentary is far better, and more informed too.

Anyone who has Sky should be able to stream Eurosport for free on Sky Player.

Smashing Sidi and Wiggle into the ground, Evans take the 'Most Cringey Advert' this year by some distance.

Recently bought on a whim off a mate who won it in a race.

Never worn, bit long in the arms for me... and the missus would kill me if she finds out I bought it after the bollocking I got for some anniversary Sidis.

Selling for £175 which is what I paid. Pics on request but they'd basically be poor versions of the pics on the Rapha site.

someone shouted DAS at me as I was riding over London Bridge sorry I no skidded but my crankset is creaking like a 150 year old aerobics instructor with arthritis so I wasn't even going to try and make a half-assed attempt in case I snapped something. I did flash a smile though.

Twas I, the smile was a decent enough substitute.
