cool, Mrs. Climbo said she'd leave me for Dave any day. I said fine as long as he let's me play drums for the Foo.

...... the show is really beginning to dig too far back in music history.

Is that right? Personally I find some of the more obscure bits of music history quite interesting.

Agree the quality of the panel is a little variable, but it all balances out in the end.

Browny's doing a Matthew Richardson. Putting in some great performances at contract re-negotiation time.

I wouldn't think the Uni crowd age would be that in to it, but, for us "older" mature (?) peeps it's all good.

a few of us enjoyed it in the earlier days, when the questions were more recent, but we dont care about bad 70s music. the only reason it made any sense then is because everyone was stoned off their face, which is cool.
As they say, you werent in the 70s if you can remember them.

Nice effort by Browny. That's his second stage in this Tour of Germany isn't it?

Maybe you can try the Channel 7 ripoff that starts this week? :D :p

Incredible. Paid through the nose to get on the floor at RLA (ended up being a masterstroke as 16 year old gangstas are easy to push out of the way) got to about 10 feet of the front.

Snoop started off with the bass set to "internal bleeding" and first track was "Ups and Downs". A personal favourite.

I still reckon Kanye West at Festering Hall was a better performer tho....amazing energy. Would rate it as the best show I've been to.

Can you actually go and measure the other frame or is this an online purchase?

That would give you the definitive answer.

Mr Matagi is adamant he has the formula correct, and my calculations gave me something like 63.31 vs 63.25 for the two different sizes.

1.5 degrees is a tiny tiny amount as far as angles go, so looking at it from first principles, you wouldn't expect a big difference.

EDIT: and the angle difference is compensated for by the different top tube lenghts, so you wouldn't expect much difference between seat position on the two frames.You're all missing some valuable fit information. The actual position of the handlebars comes into play here. Even if both bikes are identical in the seating arangement but one bike has lower handlebars, that shifts your weight forward meaning that it would actually feel like the STA is slacker than it perhaps is.

The sitting forward or back thing? I have absolutely no empirical data to back this up, but intuitively I believe that the further back you sit, the more you use the muscles in the back of your legs/glutes, which from my understanding are a much larger muscle group than your quads.

Now we all know 'knee over pedal spindle' is a crock of shit, right? (Well, I hope we do. If not, Google 'Bontrager KOPS'). But what it actually indicates is a rough guess position of balance between the two muscle groups that allows you to not only use them both effectively but also switch between them depending on whether you're grinding in the saddle, out of the saddle, or sprinting, or whatever.

If you don't like sitting back, I would hazzard to suggest you're not developing your glutes and are concentrating too much on your quads. It should be about a balance....you should be able to sit back, forward, and get out of the saddle with equal aplomb as this in my book denotes a big section of the efficiency equation.

Did that make sence or did I loose you all two paragrahs ago? :D Whaddayareckon? Think I'm on the right track or just full of poo?

I didnt mean it like that.

sit back = glutes , yes !

The most underused muscle in the pedal stroke. Big arse = fast rider ! :p

Nice. I think Kanye is supposed to be coming out and doing support for U2 in November same as he was gunna do for their cancelled shows.
Given your big props for him maybe I might actually turn up to the U2 show early enough to catch the support act.....
