Oh help! Like you're not already fast enough on your singlespeed!

What's the S-group?

Did the 19 group but we got to Charlwood at 21.4 average!

Five of us took it easy on the way back and that averaged 17.7.

Overall was 19.7.

Oh no, does that mean I am going to have to ride even faster to catch you up on the way to work, blimey I think I may take up roller blading.

Cheers

Do STI levers work indifferently with double and triple chainsets?

You are bargain-finder extraordinaire! Where you getting it from???

And the crown is back on!

No-one knows for the STIS?

I think that sti doubles only work on double, triples can do either and i think ergos can do both- C+ website usually knows

Hi-ya, sylv. So, you've finally joined the dark side.
Any pics of the new machine?
I recently bought a Merckx Race and it's sweeeeet.

Badger = the english translation of the Peloton nickname for Bernard Hinault in his prime, when he was the boss of the peloton. (All IIRC)

You could be him then

Ok, ok, you guys were right, a road bike IS faster than a mountain bike, even one with 1" slicks and road-like gearing.

A bit less confortable with the horizontal position, my legs hurt a bit differently too, and it's going to take me some time to get used to the shifting and braking positions, not sure I'll want to commute in heavy traffic with it. But I'm keeping it!
