    None of them, betting is a mugs game.

    If you win big feel free to either a)rub my face in it or b)send me some cash so I can be converted :wink:

    My mate's got a 355. It's pretty, noisy and not very fast. Can't think it's going to be that amazing on a track.

    I'd go for the Aston.

    2nd that, I had a winning bid from the US despite stating UK post only. It was not a good experience. In fact I'll just follow jonnyc's advice myself!

    It's a Hotpoint

    It was a Hotpoint
    Buy a Bosch or AEG

    Sacrilidge! Hotpoint is the Austin Maestro of kitchen appliances! I've just fitted new drum bearings in my 20 year old Hotpoint and she's running fine! £27 parts and a whole load of 'I am cleverer than a dumb washing machine' satisfaction! Plus a big wodge of cash for shiny bike things. And other 'having done DIY' related benefits. :wink:

    I've got Fulcrum Racing 1's, they are a fantastic wheel. The bladed spokes make a huge difference to my standard wheels.

    Avoid tubs unless racing. They are fast but such a nightmare day to day.

    Lack of talent = look at his results. Hardly earth shattering.

    He is an awesome driver, pretty near the top of F1. He may break through this year and produce consistent results. I hope he will, but I would bet a penny on it happening.

    He doesn't give in, that's very creditable. Sure he's quick, they're all quick. But I don't believe he has the concentration needed to succeed in F1 at the top level.

    in that incident Lewis just barely missed taking Alonso out for example. So MW are pretty similar as far as driving style and determination is concerned. Its just that Mark Webber isn't a cocky liar.

    Point 1. Lewis did miss Alonso, and would have passed him exiting the corner. He forced an error from the most complete driver on the grid.

    Point 2. Webber just piled into the back of Hamilton. Not the first major error he made that day.

    Point 3. I rather go for a bike ride with Mark Webber, but if my mortgage were on it I'd back Lewis Hamilton every time. :wink:

    I've no idea why so many people are against MW – fantastic driver, very straight talking, nice guy, exceptionally brave, silly-fast. What's not to like?

    He made a poor start
    He made many many errors
    He doesn't know when to admit his lack of talent is going to prevent him from finishing. The guy makes a lot of mistakes. Too many to be a top driver.

    The guy has a great attitude, is very likeable but I don't think he'll ever be Champion.

    And he prevented Lewis capitalising on the mistake he forced Alonso into. That is the difference between the two.

    The real shame was that **** Webber robbed us of a grandstand finale, Alonso had outbraked himself and cocked up the corner, Lewis had it about right and looked set to blast past until the Aussie Amateur f*cked it up for the viewers.

    Red Bull won't put up with too many performances like that, the pressure is building.

    PJs are a definite message. They are saying things aren't good and she needs to talk. Carry on like this and you'll be fettling as long as you want all to yourself.

    Soooo, King hubs break. I wouldn't bother if I were you. Sending overpriced hubs back to America is just ridiculous!

    Surely there are other options …. you know!

    Buy the best, buy British! :D

    My mate has a Trek 69er. I think it right, so it must be right. I'd get one if they were still available.

    A future classic…. 8O :wink:

    I'm a massive F1 fan but I think F1 Administration have scored the biggest own goal in years.

    There has never been a better line up in terms of competitive drivers in competitive cars.

    THE RACING WAS SHIT!YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING WRONG!!!!!

    Motor racing fans will look elsewhere.

    I've binned a few bikes that I kind of regret, but it's just nostalgia.

    I have to agree (some) progress has been made. Like getting rid of big hairy muffs, I'm with djglover on that on too!

    BB axle length is dictated by the chainset. BB with is obviouslt the chain size. It doesn't matter what frame you're fitting it to..

    73 x 113mm is correct.

    Mechanically the best thing is to have 100% in line threads and a 100% perependicular face on each end.

    And a bearing casing that locates on the outer face will obviously work best on a faced surface.

    As for not facing steel, that is just rubbish. If they said no to titanium I wouldn't be suprised, but steel….! Find another bike shop.
