I actually just popped out this afternoon to the local crackbike store looking at new wheels. My birthday's coming up and these[^] really seem to say "Happy Birthday".
Either that or I sell a kidney. I can't get over the price of those things.
cheers

Ye gods. One of those wheels (rim only) is priced higher than my entire bike sold for originally. Admittedly, it's a Trek 1220, which sold in 1998 for $880 and I bought in '99 for $680, but still. 8,500 miles later I'm still happy with it.

Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

I have a very old (1973) Atala Competizione. Put over 10K miles on it in three years back then.
My real bike is a Honda and gets 50 MPG.

I've got a Koga Traveller and a Koga Distance.
The Traveller is a tad quicker, and the Distance is a tad more comfortable.

I haven't been able to ride since the '80s due to hip/knee issues, but I used to be big into cycling and I've always had a thing for road bikes. These days I have to make do with sports cars, but I'd rather drive a Prius and ride a road bike.
Back when I was cycling, the best was Bianchi. I couldn't afford one myself, but I got to ride one: fantastic handling but twitchy, very narrow wheel base, lots of fun to ride. I'm sure bikes have changed a lot since then, but if you want the best in bikes or components I'm guessing you still need to go Italian.

One minute the sun is shining the roof slates have dried and I'm ready to embark on the next phase of "Project X" on my roof, next thing it is absolutely tipping it down again, I need about an hour of no-rain to get this bit done.
According to the forecast tomorrow is meant to be fine, but I'm going out on the lash tonight and don't fancy doing it then. Also, the kids won't be home from school for about 1.5hours so I'm getting peace at the moment....
Oh, suns back out better go check the slates!
Edit: Spoke too soon, rains back on again.......

I would agree with you but then we both would be wrong.

It's not the rain that is the problem, it is the indecisive nature of it, it should either stay raining for a duration, or get to.......not just tease for 30 seconds or so, then stop, then start, then stop....you get my drift!

Well, at least you can look on the bright side of things. After all, it's better to be peed off than peed on.

Hi All,
In my quest to find a new job before the old one runs out, I have had a telephone interview today. I think I came off as a bit of a *I** head as my answer to one question was "well, I always liked the Led switching and running around yelling "it's Alive!!". Got a snigger so maybe... Man I hate job hunting... where is Dave?

Well I do try to hide it but...

I will suggest that you keep it inside at least during the actual interview.
