Italy is like a boot.

I could whack another picture of Cillit Bang up, but instead I'll go with Wind Power > fossil fuels.

I say the Caribbean is nicer (Y)

Milk is like cream but it can fit through smaller gaps.

It's not just about heat dissipation though - A bigger disc = more power. Without worrying about heat the only trade off of a bigger disc is a bit more weight. But I wouldn't go smaller than a 180 on the front. If it's an Avid though there's not much point in the 205 (for most people) as that's just overkill and extra weight.

Nice vid. Riding was good :)

Even armour piercing bullets can't go through mountains!

At £80 or so for a second hand Zebdi, it's almost disposable. But one and ride it until it breaks, which might not be that long, or it might be years. My mate's still on his Mk3 :)

Love you too Dave :S All I was trying to say was that when you buy a Leeson you are paying £400 to have a frame specially built for you, with the exact geometry you want, by some guy who knows his stuff. Which is nicer than getting a £25 aluminium frame for £500. I just can't help thinking people are being ripped off paying through the nose like that. However, if there was an aluminium frame with the exact geometry I wanted, with good strength, for less money, I would be right there (Cue Onza :) ). I don't really have a preference between steel and aluminium frames (I'm definitely not convinced by the "Steel is reel" thing), all I know is that my bike is exactly what I want and is awsome fun to ride. To answer your question: No, my Koxx never failed me, but the Leeson is better. I'm not comparing a custom steel frame to something reasonaly priced a T-Rex, but XTP/Gu frames look so overpriced.

Apparently cockroaches can survive nuclear bombs...

The boosters have nothing to prove to their peers though :)

I was trying to put a T-shirt on before he took the pic. The b*****d said he wouldn't put it on TF.

Yeah. Anyone got any suggestions for "intermediate" stages? Fashion Mullet :) Or possibly the "monk"? Any others?

Alec Balwin, the best actor in the world...

Cool. I know he's just a normal rider like loads of other people, but he seems like such a legend :)

It depends far more on your chain/hub. If you have front freewheel you can spin your cranks for ages. I would just lube the chain a bit and check it's not too tight before you go spending money on a bottom bracket just so you can crankflip. Also I'd make sure you've got the technique right too...

Looks nicer, and they got someone to check the spelling :) But those new downtube graphics look awful.

Bahaha Yoda got pwned :) You win this one Yahnson. (Deleted mine to avoid confusion)

For anyone that was wondering :sleeping: (Don't hotlink from Tripods)
