Purple is all wrong - it would need to be blue. Trust me, I know this to be true.

Fair do's! - Someone (here or on RBT mentioned filling the frame with helium as well, with al the
snipping, I'd thought it was in this part of the thread....).

And I care if I was wrong or not? Did you search through all the messages, both here and the ones
that were 'un-crossposted' to appear in just RBT as well, just so you could pipe up and say that?

And I stick to my guns when I am, or could care less if I have a doubt I might not be. You're
just upset because I'm more often right than you are, and you're trying to even up the numbers a
bit. ',;~}~

Is that the sound of somebody sucking up I hear..<Chuckle>

I reckon Shaun is more like bleeding action man (GI Joe to you yanks) than the six million
dollar ******..

I figgerd you were yanking our chains, or shaking the tree to see what idiot might fall out.

But the post reminded me of a very serious whippet of a dewd, a lot like a zealous mormon missionary
with no sense of humor I met at a race in Nevada 3 or 4 years ago. He had a Homegrown hardtail that
he'd shaved down to around 21 lbs, even down to a special light, wind-resistant paint job! I kid you
not. He raced Expert, and I never saw if his single-minded obsession paid off at the podium, but he
sure was a dry boring dweeb to hang with. "Errr, excuse me, your ti bolts are all very fascinating,
but I think I left a roast in the oven..." zip outta there.

That's all, folks.

It was a bit of fun, but still, I wanted to make a point while I was at it. ',;~}~

Heheheh, crazy!

Not much chance of me and my bike ending up that way - last I checked, the BASE hardtail weighed in
at around 36lbs, and that weight keep on creeping up, but then again, my legs keep getting stronger
too, so it's all good ',;~}~

Yeah - that's me right there.

I used to push my weebles over and stick something on the heads to keep them down. I would then
stand back, point at them, and laugh mockingly and cruelly at them until they cried.

What you need is some sort of retractable paddles. These would protude out of the rim between the
rail bits and give grip on the up and slowing down bits. Some retractor switch could then be thrown
and the retractable paddles could retract for corners.

Another idea is by putting a battery where your headlight is say 165Ahr
(12V) with a switch going to the dynamo.(know where i am going with this? a cunning plan indeed).
Next and the important bit is to swap the positive and negative wire bits over on the battery.
Now when you come to a hill bit. Extend your retractable paddles hit the dynamo switch and
hold on baby, your in for one hell of a ride.

I dunno.Sounded good to me. Everytime he mentioned 'paddles' I kept thinking of those pictures of
the Loch Ness monster and fins described as 'paddles'. And then I got thinkin' about attaching a
dynamo and battery to the monster for goin' 'up' the Loch, an' then... maybe it's just the bourbon
i'll shut up now....
