Bloody noob used the spirit level on the bars and not the seatclassic1 said:
At least it's got a seat though
I'm surprised I didn't get any lowbrow quips after my last race report.

Your argument is becoming quite well though out and almost maybe somewhat possibly compelling, nearly. Wasted on us mugs of course.531Aussie said:hmmm, interesting.
I'll use that when I argue against the mythical rotational mass. It goes partly like this: if a guy like Dempster, who weighs about 75kg (?) puts out 1400w in a sprint, that's a power to weight ratio of ~18.6w/kg. That's like my 1900kg sedan going from a 200kw engine down to a 35kw engine. Imagine trying to accelerate an EB which had suddenly lost 82% of it's power, and only had a 1cyl motor! Then try to imagine what little differnce a few kg of rim weight would make to that car accelerating so slowly.
In other words, one reason that rotating mass on a bike is bollocks is because a guy on a bike has the acceleration power of a 50-yr-old backhoe tractor trawling through 3-feet-deep mud
And given the choice, for somewhat similar dollars I'll still go with lower rotating mass every time. I won't mention that with such a lowpowered engine that's precisely when you'd want lower rotating mass into order to maximise what acceleration you have got. But still, keep up the good work soldier
hmmm, I'm goin with the one on the left

Attention Northern TANners
Anyone else coming on the Tour de Broke?
So far I have Al, 46kg, MrM and me doing the cycling thing with MrsAl and Mrs46kg joining us afterwards.
bbp - you a definite for this?
Gus - this was your idea, so are you fronting or what? +/- MrsGus?
Jock - a definite yes or no would be appreciated and will you be flying solo or will la famiglia de Jock be attending?
Any other ******* who wants to come along PM me by tomorrow at the latest.

Can't go. Tin lids have dance practice on that day, so I'll be dropping off, picking up, dropping off picking up, and entertaining the lad in between.matagi said:
So have fun without me (again), and I'll see if I can make the next one. In fact, the only way I'll get to fit it into the training/racing/family schedule is if I do indeed 'make it' myself. So look out for an impromptu invitation to a ride to nowhere in parts unknown at a time yet to be determined!
Most sales are 'sight unseen' in the tradional sense, Jock. Some sales are as a result of frames being out there, but when you do less than 100 frames a year, it's mostly Internet presence that generates sales.jock.c said:
That will change as we get bigger though.
Rich is stoked with his frame. Well, stoked enough to race it from sea to sea across Central America for 3 days, 360kms in total, 3400m highest point with no gears and no suspension.
I'm in like that Flynn fellamatagi said:
not sure how many sheila's to bring
I get the feeling a couple of them will just go for the extended breakfast option.
