In other news, a judge said that a gunshot victim's failure to wear a kevlar vest contributed to their death.
It's the Euros. It's very good value.
You'll notice the slight 'sportive' geometry - but you can still go low if you're young and flexible enough and want to give it some welly. I stick tri-bars on it regularly for TTs - happy days.
Solid all-rounder then: but note no mudguard mounts if you're thinking it's a complete all-need solution.
Theres no way I'd ride on a tyre that looked like that with 120psi in it. I'd bin it and get something different before something bad happens.
Disgusting. Last month in London a man was given a (suspended) jail sentence for fraudulently topping up an Oyster card. Obviously a bigger crime than killing someone.
Then you're not a very good reader.
Hi, Thanks for the advice. I like the Seven Carbon & Ti mix but at £4k its way too much for me...
Definitley am planning a trip there, The Dolan Ti is one I'm looking at. Bit concerned as its titled "Titanium ADX"
other problem is you can't test ride the bikes at Dolan
cheers, I tried out the Focus Cayo & yes, it was a good ride better than the Mekk but not as comfy as the Roubaix but the Wilier XP blew these all away...
I had this same problem and the cotton threads from the carcass get wrapped around the hub and jockey wheels. Soon after I noticed big cracks appearing in the glued on tread.
I binned them and moved to using Vittoria.
Is it me or is Mrs Froome a bit of a pain?
which Van Nic do you ride?
I've found a shop in bury that sells them, although they only have the Euro's in stock. I'm going to try it out at the wkend vs the Wilier XP.
hoping to join a club & start my racing career
Unfortunately I don't ride for any of these teams and if I did, I'd expect to be provided with a saddle.
Well both these cases occurred in the UK badkneestom, but the big difference would be that wearing a seatbelt in a car is a legal requirement whereas wearing a helmet while riding a bike is not.
The Sheriff's comment regarding Mrs Fife's lack of a helmet seem on the face of it ill-informed because his assumption seems to be that the outcome would have been different had she been wearing one however it seems unlikely to me that having been "clipped" by a car she would have been traveling at a low enough speed for the helmet to have made any difference to the outcome.
But let's not get sidetracked by talking about helmets, the issue here is that a man whose driving skills are so poor that he has killed twice in 25 years, has been given what amounts to a slap on the wrist by the courts. The fact that the sheriff didn't conclude that it was maybe time for McCourt to hand over his driving keys permanently is almost more gob-smacking than the sentence.
You sod, I'm sat at my desk here like one of Pavlov's dogs thinking about those! I've not had one in ages.
The better half always has bottles of prosecco in the fridge (no need for soda then) so I reckon I'll liberate one of those after picking up some Campari on the way home.
That makes me even more confused about my new bike choice this year!
Growl....
Words can't describe my frustration.
Would he have not hit her if she was wearing a helmet then Mr Scott? So it's her fault now?
Fucking pillock!
I have cycled all through the winter, snow, gusts of wind that bring you to a stop on a 8° decline, freezing no toes or fingers while swapping between my mountain bike and road bike just to mash it up a bit, and you know what I have loved it, feels like summer is already here to me lol, out in my bib and shorts fingerless gloves trying desperately to convince my friends that the weather ain't that bad lol
For "very progressive" I read "cable stretch".
White wine and Campari - a bicicletta, very apt for the start of the giro too
Any flavour will do, but anything with honey sounds good. I don't like hi5 stuff, I tried them but there's not enough flavour for me in them.
I have a few, citrus, coconut and honey or can adapt one for you, what flavour you after?
High 5 tablet about six quid for twenty. Nuns are about the same. Ebays worth a look but stick to UK seller's
Hey, come on guys, which one of us hasn't killed at least two people? Let's be reasonable here, eh?
/outraged sarcasm
They only banned him from driving for 5 years, so when those 5 years are up, he'll be suffering from depression, PTSD, and rusty driving skills on top of his inability to concentrate while in charge of a motor vehicle.
I think there's a good chance of a #3 in 5 years time.
Just out of curiousity, how would lack of helmet compare to say failure to use seat belt in the UK? Curious how the two safety devices are seen differently on vehicles.
