Ha, it's one of these.

It's satisfying and relaxing OzMan, that's why.

Yes, it's oddly satisfying, especially resurrecting a weed-infested plant into something much more pleasant to look at.
I've always been into lawns, but I've slacked off in recent years.

Growing your own vegies must be the Euro in you. 😄 That sounds a bit hardcore to me, and I reckon the possums would eat them anyway,

The possums seem to ignore the tomatoes but if I had fruit trees, I reckon I'd be tearing my hair out.

Something useful to do with roller blade wheels.

I could use that on both my legs while she was massaging the 'third leg' for me...

Did you know there's now a UCI rule that prevents the World Champ from wearing all black shorts.

Seriously? Or are you taking the [censored]?

I'm in no danger of being forced to ride in white knicks then.

[FONT=Helvetica]"Under UCI rules we can only have team issue shorts or white shorts. We haven't decided which Peter will wear yet but the rules mean he can't use black shorts."[/FONT]

[FONT=Helvetica]That got me curious. He can ride his regular team shorts but if he rides in shorts matching his jersey then he can have all manner of extra logos 'n [censored]. If he wants the classic white shirt black shorts, then the entire team must ride solid back shorts too, once a request has been lodged to the UCI and approved that is...[/FONT]

How much black can't they wear? 😄

Lucky Sky had all-black dacks 😄

And Quickstep

or BMC 😄

Poonen went with the Quickstep royal blue. Maybe he thought the [censored] would stand out too much on the white.

Fark that has done the rounds. $20k bike. First thing I'd do is strip it and dump the frame off a bridge, then the rest of the parts as they'd likely be equally as [censored]. Honestly. What makes this bike x2 that of a high end rig, and x5-6 times the price of what you'd need to race on...?

Hang on a sec. That's mechanical. Not even electronic. lol. 20k is 18k too much.

What about selling the frame overseas?

The dopy skunt who took off with it looks like he wouldn't know an airport from an armpit.

I jump to conclusions.

Thinking more about it.... I've seen the Jetstar lines to Bali.

Won't fetch much over there. 🙂

Do Lightweights have serial numbers?

Yeah, they match your postal address in Monaco. Because if you're riding those, you can afford a place there.

Side story - Saw a smashed up set of LWs the other week. C/B Grade chick hit a pothole in a race with them. Gender aside. What the hell.

It's got wannabe Dura Ace 4 arm cranks on. 18.5K over priced.

I just built a pair of 28 spoke wheels with some Taiwanese hubs and kinlin aluminum 30mm rims. 1580gm without skewers, 1675gm with. Who needs farkin lightweights? Especially for c grade. Thats ksyrium elite territory for under $300. When I ride them it will be the 30kg spare tyre holding me back, not the wheels. Or maybe the wheels will hold me back when I start breaking spokes on the [censored] because my wheel building ability is [censored].

The hubs spin nice and smooth and I reckon the rims aren't bad. They were round out of the box which is more than I can say for some mavic rims I've seen and they seem to have held up to all the tension I had to put on them on the drive side.

Apparently they are good bikes. They'd want to be at the retarded prices they sell them for. [censored] that paint job looks like festering [censored].
