... and crashing and hitting a smoking hot disc during a crit or descent with lots of breaking. Is that a real risk? I have no idea.

No, me neither. I only have discs on my MTB, and I've never touched them to see how hot they get.

The best Iffy story was at the world champs one year, one of the teams walked past and saw him floating around in the pool with a ciggy and a tinny,

They said to the Australian manager: "Your mechanic, he does not work very hard."

The manager said: "That's not our mechanic, that's the team leader"

1981 in Prague he knocked over a crate of beer with dad and Wiggins...the night before him and Wiggins were riding the road race.

Perfect

Pissa stories. HA :-)

Cocaine Cowboys is being repeated yet again on Ch 22.

[censored] OzMan. Stock up on 45c coffees for that one! I'm off to bed. Racing some Vets Open tomorrow. One of their big handicaps on the calendar. Last weekend was the goal, so tomorrow it is just a bit of fun ripping legs off. Can't wait. Nothing to lose means wild random stunts to smash cnuts. Raaaaaaattack!!

I put my 120mm -17 stem on the SL4 tonight. I didn't need it to replicate the same position as the Scott CR1 I was on, so I was using a standard 110mm.... I don't want to sit on my hands, so to speak... so it is time to keep tweaking and tinkering. I think the lower front end on the roadie should bring my TT [censored] more into play. We'll see.

Are you doing the Donna's Boo Ang TT, or something else at Warburton?

Get farked. I'd only do that again when I was back under 70kgs (around 71-72 again now), flying, and on a stinking hot day. All other times that is a place worse than hell.

I'll be cranking around Lancefield/Kyneton.

Lettuce rage. lols.

Or the smoking at the Giro.

His team manager came into his room before one of the stages and Iffy was having a durry, he tried to butt it out quickly but he was caught. The manager just left without saying anything. For the next day or so (not sure on exact timeframe here) Iffy thought he was going to cop a bollocking, but the team manager comes back and says he'd arranged a cigarette sponsor. So everyday Iffy was at the front at teh start line and he'd be grinny and butting out cigarettes on the top of hsi quill stem and the photographers at it up.

HA, Have you got enough for a book yet? :-)

That's jsut from one arvo having a yarn/

Classo should be writting the book! 😄

I've got this old cricket book: "Chappell Has The Last Laugh. Cricket's Funniest Stories".
So, maybe there could be a cycling one, if there isn't already.

Jee, all that money. At least it's reliable. ;-) Poor dude.

I have a Look 695, too. I hate it.
The bottom bracket works itself loose extremely quickly. The stupid fancy stem is a nightmare to tighten and works itself loose very quickly.
If it even so much LOOKS like it's going to rain, the bottom bracket bearings fill with water, and turn to [censored] ($200+ for the bearings. I've replaced several times in 1 year). It takes very few wet rides for them to be destroyed.
The company that distribute Look bikes is an absolute nightmare to deal with.
Unless you have a professional mechanic at your service to do an hour of maintenance after every ride, it's not worth having.
Just a heads up for everyone else.. If you have a Look 586 (the frame model from ~2010-2012) in size XL, it has a manufacturing defect.. so take it back and get yourself a free upgrade to the Look 695 like I did.
Wish I just sold it the second I got it, bought a Giant and went on a massive holiday with the thousands left over."
