Yeah, heard that on tv this morning ....... sounds like a nasty crash. Apparently Sunrise are going to be talking to him sometime this morning.

Sunrise? That's either a brand of breakfast cereal or a cheesy morning tv chat show.

"So Robbie, with your jaw wired shut and a punctured lung, how are you feeling this morning?"

"hmmfrp, mmmmft, rrrrrrrft"

".... and now for the morning weather, over to you Bobby Ray"

Damn close to it... the weather chick is "Fifi Box".... Even if she could grantee a flea free box, not many people would take up the offer.

Hasn't he suffered enough

You philistine and your morning TV. Bah, shame on you. I had more culture in my gut coming back from Thailand.

How much did it hurt? About this much.

It's a TVT.

Looks a lot like a Vitus.



Some relationship between TVT and Vitus apparently.

None at all, other than Vitus may have sourced their carbon tubing from TVT

Piss off, you little rodent!

I'm just not in the mood for high-brow intellectual discourse at 6:30 in the morning while I'm eating my breakfast. We're all allowed one vice, aren't we?

Geez, looks like Robbie tried to squeeze into a gap not even his short **** could scrape through! And Van Avermaert? WTF was he doing? You look at the bird's eye view and he's looking around like a cafe racer perving at chicks on the beach.

And to rub salt in the wound Robbie gets run over by somene behind him.

Ouch farken ouch! *wince*

Nah, the Vitus line had all but died by the time that TVT got real popular... plus most, if not all, Vitus frames both carbon and the noodle-o-flex 979 aluminium frames had a really silly 25mm seat post that weighed twice as much as it should have with the silly black fluted bits that you can see in that pic. Stronglight did a seatpost that kinda looked like the campag c-record post but that was it... I think the TVT's had a proper 27.2 post.

I always thought that TVT's had more in common with LOOK.

I had a 979 for a while. Comfy as **** then it started making cracking noises near the bottom bracket and it got traded in...

It's been a while since I've seen a full Mavic groupset... pitty it doesn't have the ZAP electronic shifters but it's got the lego lookin' clipless pedals. Modolo stem too.

I'll shut up before I show my age too much.

I think you're probably preaching more to your demographic than you realize
