    What's the deal with this? 1kg steel frame???! WTF? They also make a mention of one that's 1180g. Both made with True Temper S3

    http://www.rodcycle.com/articles/articlelightframes.html


    If you get all of True Tempers lightest S3 tubes and make a 52cm frame out of it, it will weigh under 1200g depending on how smart you are with the bits that weigh a lot, like the dropouts, bottom bracket, and braze-ons.

    However, as soon as you spec tubes for anyone that isn't 5ft 2ins, it very quickly heads towards 1500-1600g.

    I think guys are going to be lot less likely to fantasize about pulling chamois panties over our faces than we would about some tiny lace panties, naturally scented lace panties of course.

    These might be useful in rugby league as well, to prevent penis biting.

    Wow. That got taken out of context when I was pretty clear. I guess this means HH wants to tie his own kangaroo down, sport.

    Pleasure to be of service.... For further pointless flogging, voted today. I'd rather be working for the man than queuing for a dodgy sausage and a cardboard privacy booth. (I give and I give......)

    HH only queues for quality sausage.

    Me too. Went postal today.

    "F1 star Alonso steps in to save Euskaltel cycling team" That is good news. Goes to show how small-fry our sport really is if one person can just 'buy' the license.

    $6m euro is just pocket change for an F1 driver, especially if you've got a world championship trophy holding the corner of your coffee table up.

    Groovy! :-)

    It's one of Kennedy's old Hoffy frames with Rossin stickers

    Jee, this frame is up to 500 bucks, with 4 days to go

    So is this Ozman getting arrested by Lama?

  10. Jee, what's will all the in-your-endo? :-)

  11. For Clint Jones

    In his defense, it was only a little fire and no schoolgirls were harmed.

  12. This year St Kilda has had a player test positive for a performance enhancing substance, had uber-unco hack Justin Kosinskie running around on the paddock, had another player charged with rape, and now they have had a player set fire to a dwarf. Let me write that again. Had a player set fire to a dwarf. Say it out loud for maximum comedic effect. Despite all that they still aren't the biggest disgrace of a footy club in the AFL. Go Bombers!

  13. To be fair, I think this incident highlights a gap in the AFL's player education program. Surely there should be a module on the dangers of naked flames around miniature entertainers.

  14. Don't limit it to miniature entertainers, can you imagine how much hairspray is used by a 7 foot trannie?

    [SIZE=12px]Hey Classic[/SIZE], what's that tip you gave me ages ago to help stop seatposts slipping? I got one of my Cioccs back from the 'repair only' bike shop. After 6 months, no one wanted it.

  16. Hmm, we've been a bit quiet in here lately. I can fill this thread with every second silly thought I have, dumb thing I did, piece of trivia I looked up on Wikipedia, or more of my grandpa stories

    Hmmm, let's see.

    Oh yeah..the other day, when I got up to have a [censored], I looked down to see a new, massive, very black mole on my stomach. I totally farkin freaked out, of course.
    After examining it for a few minutes with my 150-magnification $5 glasses from the $2 shop, whilst planning which one of yooz guys is tall enough to get my bikes in my will, the "mole" fell off.
    It was a farkin tea leaf! Somehow, a farkin tea leaf had got from the kitchen and stuck on my belly over night. HA.

    Story: 6.3 out of 10.

  17. TAN Dead Pool Fail: Ariel Castro

    (though he wasn't really on our radar at the end of last year)

  18. Crikey jalikey! Found hanged in is private cell
