italians will boo anyone who isn’t italian and winning their race.

Just reading Laurent Fignon’s book, he got spat at and vinegar thrown at him!!! Booing doesn’t see so harsh 😆 HTFU Contador 😀

I like cycling. I have 2 x mtb and 2 x road bikes. I find both disciplines compliment each other ie road helps my mtb climbing fitness, mtb helps my bottle when in comes to descending at speed on road also riding fast over loose surfaces.
Try it you may like it.

Is this real?

Focus cayo 105ltd on wiggle. Best £932 i have ever spent. I also have a giant defy 3 i was going to get a plastic giant until i saw the focus.

I thought the interview was cringeworthy TBH. I expected a little bit more from the BBC.
I personally think GAGA is very clever in how she markets herself and can actually sing. But then again I’m 33 and don’t belong on grumpy old men.

http://Www.samewood.com if you want that kind of stuff. Quality is good and the price is similar.

Nice one. Good luck to you and as TSY says take in your surroundings, after all it’s why we ride 🙂

Flipping heck you want to see the antiques we have at work in the store room!!! My favourite though is the VAX box from circa 1985 we still have running 😆

Robbing monkeys!

OT: I was at the Lincoln sportive on Sat did it in 2hr51.

Back OT: As above keep the cadence up, do more training and take on electrolytes if training hard.

Wiggle do a 30day ride trial and it’s free returns as long as you keep the box 🙂

Focus cayo 105 😀 http://www.wiggle.co.uk/focus-cayo-105-ltd-2011

I am going to own a sportive with bombers.

Lol@ this thread. I am doing my first 55 mile sportive on Sat. It isnt costing me a penny so its all good. I am looking forward to having a ride with some mates. If there are folk on exotica who are slow who cares??? I could only afford a 2011 focus cayo 105 to venture into the carbon world; but i certainly dont begrudge anyone on more expensive bikes, i admire their shinyness.

Well I have the 1×9 up and running again so sore legs will not occur 😀
Cheers for the input though!

We have a group of beginners with us as well so this is the route we are taking (i am not the leader). So i am gonna burn then lol.

er, mountain bike forum – who cares about
road miles.

The oodles of people who ride road as well genius!!

Planet x model b and bang instant weight loss for £130! Best cash i spent.

I find them a pita to be honest. Wish i had got race blades. The rub brushes didnt last long i have a crack on the rear tail where it joins not bad for 6 months!

Tried twice. I was spending a long time on each end.
It’s been a very long time since I rode the bike so I can’t remember the “feel” of them. But surely they should be firm as soon as you pull the lever???
Will try the tapping the hose bit.

My FS road bike makes me faster than Lance!!!!!

Ok a lot?????

Those tight sizes are a bit ?????????

I am not a RPG guy but this had me hooked!!! Completed it twice lol

Planet X model B for less weight?

+1090

If you don’t get a picture of her with a rabbit stroking a herring then it isn’t real!!!!

Good bike for the dosh

Or there’s always second hand.

What about the Carerra TDF at Halfords???

A mankini is the only thing I wear come sun or snow. Why the hell do you need a t-shirt or a top??? You dry off a treat after the rain so no probs. Bloody soft you lot are!!

Buy a bb gun and snipe from the bedroom window.

I tend to wear a medium howled t shirt but had to get a xxxl.

😯 😯 😯

????????????????

Wheels wise i have a set of model bs on my defy so will swap them over. Will deffo change the pads as generally oem are pooh.

I ordered a large (normally wear medium or small t-shirts) and it fits perfect.

I sneaked out for an hour while the eldest was having his snooze. Yup love road riding me.

Until I got the road bug, I commuted 32 miles a day fixed on my pompy (I do miss that bike). You will be fine, they are amazing bikes and v comfy too even with a steel fork.

Yup nowt better than clearing up other peoples shite from my back garden!
Had a few of them land after new year. Think the best one was the one on fire that was blowing down the road 😯
What’s the point of them???

Here in sunny lincs road everytime.
If we move back to a place where there are hills and i dont have to drive miles for them then mtb.

I will never sell outside if the uk because of stuff like this. Hope it gets resolved quickly in your favour.
