But of course a bike has to look good as well as ride well. I really don’t see what’s wrong with that statement.

Nothing wrong with that statement if it doesn’t follow this one

I don’t care how it rides

orange fans (timc?)

I am an Orange fan, but im not bias (some may disagree), I dont like the look of that cyclo cross bike above for example.

I had steel C16r’s & P7’s in the 90’s & loved them & get peoples love for the iconic steel bikes, but I don’t get being hung up on the fact they have switched over to aluminium & used modern building techniques to bring a ‘Clockwork brand’ upto date for 2013. The fact it’s not steel doesnt mean its a bad bike & does it really look any worse than most Aluminium 29ers?

I don’t care how it rides, it looks terrible.

A bike has to balance performance and aesthetics.

I meant the Clockwork – an insult to the Clockwork legacy.

Ridden one? 🙄

There you go OP. Two “told-you-sos”. Let that be a lesson to you.

Obvious conclusion to draw though wasnt it, have to echo nealglover sentiments, very odd op considering later admission

johndoh, I told you that last night…

one of two things, he was following someone or your driving wasn’t approved of

common complaint on Merseyside tonight, mines fine though 🙂

Hazzard is a midget & only about 21 isnt he?

So the lad was on Twitter before the match boasting about time wasting

So you have to personally find something funny to understand whether it’s intended as a joke or not?

errr, i think i clearly state i know its intended as a joke, did you read the bit you quoted? ‘strange humour’ being the give away?

….keep digging timc……

Digging what?

That other thread has made me want to use them 🙂

Bless.

nar

if that was my son id be ashamed he was such a ponce

what was the ball boy doing the tool, can’t condone Hazard, over zealous trying to retrieve the ball.

FA need to just set a rule now, all Ball Boys return ball quick & directly to players. shouldn’t need a rule but looks like we do.

I found it amusing tbh

Here I was thinking that the OP was supposed to be a little bit of fun, implying that the only/worst bit of the discontinuation of black Souls is having a harder time “sneaking it past the wife”. I can clearly see now that I should have treated it as a 100% super serious post and angrily replied accordingly. I’m so sorry.

I dont get whats funny about referring to the other half as the ‘Boss’, like you need permission to get a new bike or you need her ok, strange humour

could stop being pathetic & put the wife in her place 🙂

Feel for the Villa fans, Players (most of) & lambert at the moment, seems Randy Learner has hung them out to dry now. You have to question not playing a 20+ goals a season striker though.

Fair play to Bradford, brilliant cup run.

I wouldn’t be too smug if i supported Norwich, they were awful on Saturday & I’m not so sure they are going to be in the prem for long playing that brand of football.

Villa v Man City / Liverpool / Newcastle / Chelsea all good options

Maybe I’m a boring old fart but I just don’t get the “lads” weekends away to big foreign cities. Going away for climbing, caving, skiing, rugby, mountainbiking … fine. But what is there for a bunch of blokes to do in a foreign city apart from drink too much, eat too much, have a bad trip and get ripped off in some night club before an admittedly better-value-for-money 40e massage with “erotic ending”. Then wake up with a king-size hangover, worrying about what you might have caught to find nothing left in your wallet (assuming you still have it).

This say more about your mates than you?

Feel for you OP, simply not cricket, every group has a douche

A free market would include naming surely…

If Marin brought out the exact same bike for half the price people would continue to buy the cotic.

If Orange did the exact same bike at same price it would be over priced

I had one & thought its was a great frame for what its worth

hmmm, pretty average in my experience. I wouldn’t take a free sample

flopped big time here molgrips mate

My 60 year old auntie has one …

Get a nice R32 🙂

think those kings scored the steerer or something similar

Ill also agree regarding the styling of the 156 GTA

Hope on previous bike was great, not sure its better VFM than Cane Creek though, currently on Cane creek & happy

I expected a lot more from this thread, some appauling shouts…

Would go along with:

Focus RS
Golf R32
M3
Elise
156 GTA
MX5
Impreza

Not so sure about:

KA’s
Seat Leons
Fabia VRS
Z4’s
Citroen’s (exc 2CV above)

Not even desirable now, never mind in the future 😕

Some are already classics, 2CV, XJ220 etc

Is it really that terrible? My 3 Friends who are in the police think its great, all in their 20’s, Not saying its easy btw, but they are glad to have a positive career path!

Skoda Fabia 1.4 16v Example

In the long run its still a great career to have
