I am selling my Dedacciai Pista frameset which is new in the box. Just taken out to take photos. Size is small and full details can be found on the following link. http://www.dedacciaistrada.com/EN/pista.htm

Frameset is black with white forks and includes seat collar and headset which came with it still in packaging. The retail on this is £719 and the cheapest i have seen them for is £575 discounted. I am selling for £400.

The finish on this set is amazing and welds are perfect.

Frame is on the WIRRAL if wanting to collect

As Velocio says it can be dangerous to alter a seatpost thickness. You would have to turn it down on a lathe and this would also ruin the finish of a campagnolo post, also it would depend alot on the weight of the rider and the type of riding you were doing. I have taken .2 of a post in the past but would not want to go any further.

Wall thickness should be the same on all sizes and if anything thicker on the smaller diameter post. Also i think campagnolo posts are forged and the process of the manufacturing of the post is what makes the strength.

I would sell your 27.2 and get the 26.4

I think the evidence is massively against Lance and he should get some punishment. But his cycling career is over and all of the money he has made through sponsorship and charity etc is down to his acheivements over the years. So couldn't his sponsors etc sue him for ripping them off and tainting their names which could also lead to a big prison sentence.

There are so many people who could sue him but my guess is that he will get a slap on the wrist a small fine and don't do it again.

If the UCI took the stance of lifetime bans for everyone who gets caught then sooner or later i think it will stop or the cheats will get smarter. what ever happens if riders just get an 18 month ban a la Contador who is only really going to miss half his normal season then there are no big penalties. Also after the Contador scandal there are still teams crying out to sign him for next season.

Things i am afraid of while cycling.

1 Drivers sending text messages
2 Lorrys watching laptops
3 Wasps ( i have been stung 3 times in the head in the last few years
4 People just walking out in front of me while i am going 25mph+
5 Kids shooting at me with an air rifle as i go past.
6 Dogs attacking me while riding
7 Feeling that the whole world hates cyclists
8 Old drivers ( i have been mowed down twice by drivers who are 70+)

I think riding a bike is like being on the set of Mad Max

He is a genius and mad at the same time. Good look to him though i have always admired his enthusiasm. i think he may be running with a fairing over the bike too.

I tell you what though i wouldn't like to get in a speed wobble on that thing at 80+mph.
